Date established

Forest Reserve Act of 1891 Signed into law by President Benjamin Harrison on March 3, 1891 , which allowed the President of the United States to set aside forest reserves from the land in the public domain. This power was first used to created Yellowstone National Forest by the General Land Office on March 30, 1891 , from which was later subdivided in Shoshone and others.

WP:URFA/2020 notes

MONGO I see you did a pretty substantial update in 2014, but this article is sitting at the top of WP:URFA/2020 and due for another update. It looks to be in very good shape, but the datedness of some statements (throughout) needs to be reviewed. Here are some samples only:

• including the largest population of Bighorn sheep and one of the few locations Grizzly bears can still be found in the contiguous U. S..
• limited hunting of wolves was permitted in the forest starting in 2012 ... where does that stand ?
• Other ungulate species are much more common and there are over 20,000 elk (also known as wapiti) and 40,000 mule deer ...
• However, the state water board for Wyoming lists only 63 glaciers for the entire Wind River Range, which includes glaciers in adjacent Bridger-Teton National Forest. Researchers claim that for most of the period that glaciers have been known to exist in the forest, that they have been in a state of general retreat, with glacial mass losses of as much as 25 percent between the years 1985 and 2009.
• Gannett Glacier, on the northeast slope of Gannett Peak, is the largest single glacier in the U.S. Rocky Mountains. It has reportedly lost over 50 percent of its volume since 1920 with 25 percent of that occurring between the years 1980–1999.

These are just a couple of samples; similar should be checked throughout to make sure the latest sources are used and the data is still current. Are you able to work on this soon so that a Featured article review can be avoided? Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:16, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

I really wish the FAR folks would relax a bit I have 5 articles on my plate and little time to deal with them. Shooting this one to FAR would be silly and these are not things that are highly circumspect that have elicted any talkpage banter until now. All I can do is get to it when I can. When this FA was in its 8th year it had a massive update done to avoid FAR.--MONGO (talk) 06:32, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

This article will be updated in 2022.--MONGO (talk) 12:13, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
