Retreat of glaciers since 1850

Review section

I am nominating this featured article for review because it has not been sufficently kept up-to-date, despite ongoing research. Newer research that has been added, hasn't been integrated well into the article ("a 20xx study", in "February 2020, it was reported". This article will need quite some love to be brought back up to FA standards. See more on talk. Femke (talk) 10:02, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

• Femke has been commenting for 2 years about the article but I do not see one edit by them outside the article talk to address the alleged issues.--MONGO (talk) 10:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
  • THat's not relevant, the only questions we're trying to answer here is "does it meet the FA criteria?" and if not, "will it be improved to meet the FA criteria during the FAR?" (t · c) buidhe 11:25, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
• Move to FARC, one inconsequential edit since FAR nomination. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:17, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
• Move to FARC, has been stalled out for most of 2021. Hog Farm _Talk 19:58, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
• There were comments that this article should be mainpaged a second time...yet zero efforts by the commentators to "fix" the alleged issues. Now it will never again be mainpaged...congratulations! Real smart move!--MONGO (talk) 02:59, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

  I'm sorry this is frustrating. For a main page appearance, the article would have needed an update anyway. This FAR is another attempt to find volunteers to take over your good work (or for you to try and find the time). Femke (talk) 11:01, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

• Delist no/minimal progress (t · c) buidhe 04:20, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
• Delist Some improvements in December, but nothing major. This will require a lot of fixing up in order to be FA again. Z1720 (talk) 18:11, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
• Delist, issues not addressed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:41, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
