Hi, I will be reviewing this article soon. This is a pledged review. To start the article looks well written and the citations are nice and consistent. More comments to follow. --JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 23:21, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
I think this is enough to pass. I did some minor copyedits after a second reading, please revert any of those in case I changed away from a Canadian English convention. --📎 JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 22:51, 16 August 2025 (UTC)


### General comments
Citations after each claim Y
It seems most of the infobox cites aren't needed per MOS:INFOBOXCITE. I, however, don't have an issue if you want to leave them in.
Appropriate amount of media. Your charts look great and really help in the understanding of the article. Y
Name: Is there any known name for this hill by the peoples before Canada?
No there isn't. Volcanoguy 20:01, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Stable article content Y
Not seeing any copyvio or plagiarism concerns Y


### Article content
The article is quite technical and I found myself being surprised at the jargon or having to click to a linked term to understand the text. Most of this doesn't necessarily have to be fixed for GA status.
Technicality is to be expected since geology is a technical field. Volcanoguy 21:39, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Exile Hill is underlain by metasedimentary rocks of the Stikinia terrane, a Paleozoic and Mesozoic suite of volcanic and sedimentary rocks that accreted to the continental margin of North America during the Jurassic.: this could do with further explanation on what the main terms here mean (suite; accreted; continental margin)
I unfortunately cannot explain this and the sentence below without using jargon, although I might be able to add a note explaining the terms you mentioned. Volcanoguy 21:39, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
I have to question whether "suite" and "continental margin" actually need explanations. A "suite" even outside of geology refers to "a number of things forming a series or set". A "continental margin" is simply that, the margin of a continent. Volcanoguy 17:46, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
The breccia was deposited by an explosive eruption and consists of immensely altered, rusty trachyte clasts in a yellowish-brown groundmass of much smaller breccia particles.: What are "clasts" and how can they be "immensely altered, rusty trachyte"?
I might be able to add an explanation note for "clasts" but the cited source does not explain how the trachyte became altered. Volcanoguy 21:39, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
