Congratulations, Volcanoguy! The article you nominated, Level Mountain, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Gog the Mild (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:07, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today when it shows for the article, introduced: "This article is a comprehensive and well-researched account of Level Mountain, one of the largest volcanoes in Canada and one of the more obscure volcanoes on Earth." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:13, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Volcanoguy, would you please have a look at this deletion discussion and perhaps give your opinion on the matter?
I chose to ask you as you have recently been an active participant on WikiProject Geology's talk page.
Thanks. --ΟΥΤΙΣ (talk) 09:47, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ΟΥΤΙΣ: Unfortunately mineralogy is not my field of expertise, nor am I familiar with Neuburg siliceous earth. Articles relating to volcanology/igneous petrology are my primary focus on Wikipedia. Volcanoguy 01:45, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for September 1, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 1, 2021. Congratulations on your work!—Wehwalt (talk) 19:17, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Volcanoguy 19:52, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Wehwalt: I'm just letting you know that I have removed "Humans arrived at Level Mountain by the early 1900s" from the article introduction as natives have probably been in the area for much longer. Volcanoguy 02:54, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heya VolcanoGuy! I noticed that the mountain infobox has a field for topo map ID. That seems very useful. Infobox river doesn't have that field but does have a "custom" field that I'm trying out for this. I just added it, using the "Canada NTS Map Sheet" template, to Hackett River, which conveniently fits nicely into one topo map. Seems to work fine, but I thought I'd run it by you to make sure there isn't some issue I've overlooked. I'm working on Beatty Creek right now, which is in two topo maps, so I'm trying out "104J6 Beatty Creek and 104J3 Tahltan River"; seems okay.

Also, it appears that the "Canada NTS Map Sheet" template can only do the 1:50,000 topo maps, specified by "number-letter-number", but not the 1:250,000 topos, whose IDs leave off the final number. Do you happen to know if there is a template for the 1:250,000 topos? Not that important but could be potentially useful in some cases.

My workplace has most BC topos in both scales, which is really convenient, but we don't have all the 1:50,000 maps in remote places like far NW BC. I use topoquest.com to access BC topos online, but their coverage is patchy in the far NW too. I've been working on getting BC GIS data, like iMap and BC Freshwater Atlas, working properly in QGIS on my Mac, but the BC websites aren't making it easy—they really want me to use Internet Explorer on a PC, heh. It seems like you have access, ya? Curious if you use paper maps or have access online in some way I don't know about. Thanks! Pfly (talk) 03:43, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Canada NTS Map Sheet you added on the Hackett River page seems to be working fine for me also. It's actually a new template that was created this month so it will probably need more additions. Maybe Denelson83 can swing in and give some advice. The Atlas of Canada's Toporama is the main topographic map I use which I don't recall having any problems using. Volcanoguy 05:34, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh right, Toporama, I'd forgotten about that. Thanks! Pfly (talk) 06:17, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, Toporama does not allow search queries via HTTP GET, only HTTP POST. This is why I have created this template. As suggested by User:CambridgeBayWeather, I am working on an updated version that will show a little more in the way of context. And as suggested, I can also do a 1:250,000 version of this template that leaves out the final number. --  Denelson83  06:49, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think there should be a marker to pinpoint where the article feature is in the outlined map sheet. Volcanoguy 17:13, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's what my updated template, User:Denelson83/Canada NTS Map Link, does. An example would be this one for Montreal. 31H12 --  Denelson83  21:23, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The map layout being used in your example is not very helpful for topographic features as it does not show the terrain in detail. The layout currently used in articles is a lot more useful. Volcanoguy 00:39, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, again, these templates are only meant to show the extent of an NTS map sheet. --  Denelson83  09:03, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Denelson83: Would you mind showing some support for this FAC? You're a Wikipedian from BC so just thought you could help out. Thanks. Volcanoguy 19:03, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Precious

Three years!

thank you today for Hoodoo Mountain, introduced: "... about a volcano in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

A paper about the Iskut River I've been working through talks about the "lower Iskut canyon", between Forrest Kerr Creek and Snippaker Creek, as being "incised into basaltic volcanic flows from the Hoodoo Volcanic Complex" page. Knowing you've made pages on such things I searched but did not find a "Hoodoo Volcanic Complex". So I'm wondering what you think, should I say the canyon is carved into flows from the Iskut-Unuk River Cones? But that page doesn't mention Hoodoo Mountain.

On the Hoodoo Mountain page you wrote that it is in the "Iskut volcanic field", which includes Iskut Canyon Cone and Snippaker Creek Cone, both of which seem likely involved in the flows that the Iskut canyon is carved into. Anyway, wondering if "Hoodoo Volcanic Complex" = "Iskut volcanic field", and what links might be best for talking about the lower Iskut canyon between Forrest Kerr and Snippaker. Thoughts? Pfly (talk) 23:48, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will have to look at the paper if it's online. All the papers I've read that mention "Hoodoo volcanic complex" are referring to Hoodoo Mountain and Little Bear Mountain on its northern slope. Volcanoguy 00:03, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(oop, edit conflict; looks like you answered what I was looking for—Iskut Canyon Cone, but here's what I was just posting in case it is of interest!) It is here: https://www.psc.org/fund-project/iskut-watershed-sockeye-salmon-enhancement-feasibility — the first downloadable PDF at the bottom, "N18-E02A Iskut Watershed (Stikine River) Sockeye Salmon Enhancement Feasibility Report". Direct link: https://www.psc.org/download/586/enhancement/12101/n18-e02a-iskut-watershed-stikine-river-sockeye-salmon-enhancement-feasibility-report.pdf page 43. I'm sure I can just word things to avoid any problem, but it could be nice to link to the appropriate page here. So no big deal, and certainly no hurry; I'm deep in multiple Iskut rabbitholes :-) Pfly (talk) 00:46, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pfly: It seems that the basalt flows in question came from Iskut Canyon Cone, which was the source of 10 thick basaltic lava flows in the Iskut valley between Forrest Kerr and Snippaker creeks. Iskut Canyon Cone itself is on the steep southern slope of the Iskut valley near its junction with Forrest Kerr Creek. See here for more details. Volcanoguy 00:39, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pfly: see my sandbox to get an idea of how large the MEVC article will become once finished. There's barely any text yet it's already the same length of the current article. Volcanoguy 21:54, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yow that's a long table of contents! Pfly (talk) 05:41, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been on Wikipedia for 15 years and had never used my sandbox until 9 days ago. It was a red link all that time lol... Volcanoguy 10:33, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, did you just write it out in some external editor and hope all the wiki markup worked? I don't trust myself enough to do that, or at least I got tired of trying only to find a bazillion markup errors. So I've long used sandboxes to test how things will look. Not just mistakes but often I am unsure how a template will look, or whether my paragraphs are too short; sometimes footnote markup code makes paragraphs look much longer than they actually are. I didn't use sandboxes for quite a while, but once I started, well I've come to depend on them, at least for longer articles. I try to "nowiki" out the categories since it seems inappropriate to have my sandbox pages listed on a category page.

Also, out of curiosity I just checked: I made my account a few years before you (2005 vs. 2008) but you have over 3x as many edits (67,028 vs. 20,328) and page creations (1,387 vs. 440). Of course neither of us are up to Skookum1 levels (92,815 edits, 1,710 pages created), even though he was perma-banned / quit in frustration in 2015. He got into a lot of fights, but man, did so much for BC-related stuff. Quite often when working on a page, like Iskut River just today, I mention some obscure BC place, bit of history, indigenous topic, etc, expecting there to be no WP page about it, only to find there is and he created it. Just had that happen now with Fowler, British Columbia, a "locality" near the Iskut-Stikine confluence.

I clearly remember how I got started editing WP: In 2005 I mentioned to a friend that there was a pirate captain with my last name who while not a direct ancestor seemed likely to be some distant ancestor-cousin, maybe. She thought that was fun and right there and then created the page William Fly, writing nothing but "Pirate, died by hanging. Last words were, roughly, a warning to captains to treat their sailors well and pay them on time." Wikipedia was so lax back then lol. Pfly (talk) 07:08, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pfly: I use WordPad on my PC to write/rewrite WP articles then I just copy and paste the text I wrote into the edit window. Markup errors aren't much of a problem because I preview what I wrote first before publishing it. If there are errors in the preview I just fix them. That's not too hard is it? Lol. The only article I have finished writing using sandbox so far is Andrei Icefield which ironically looks to be just east of Powler. Yes Skookum1 was a great help regarding the creation of articles related to BC. He was more helpful than not helpful IMHO. I didn't get along with him so well at first but we got better as the years went on. He used to post lots of stuff about BC volcanics on my talk page lol.

I'm not sure where you got 2008 from but if you look through my user contributions you will see my earliest edit was the creation of Mount Fox on 2 July 2006. My editing didn't start there though. I started editing on the Simple English Wikipedia anonymously in 2005 because I thought that would have been a better place for me to start. But it's not easy to write geology articles using Basic English so that's why I came to English Wikipedia. After editing here for one or two years I got called a high school by an admin LOL! I'm not sure if they seriously meant that but my grammar wasn't the best back then so it's a possibility lol. Volcanoguy 09:58, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I'm not sure where I got 2008 either. I just looked at your page, "user contributions", "edit count", and saw 2008. But looking again it clearly says 2006 so I must be blind. I use preview to catch errors too, mostly, but a few times I've had so many errors it was frustrating trying to figure out where each mistake was, so I took to using sandboxes and "incremental edits", as well as an external text editor (TextEdit on Mac these days), at least for longer articles. I suppose I might use sandboxes more than necessary. Then again, sometimes I work on article drafts on multiple computers in different places, in which case having the draft in a sandbox can be useful. But tomato tomahto. "Got called a high school" haha, I wouldn't know what to make of a comment like that. Well if nothing else I've learned a ton about volcanism in BC from your work here. It was something I hadn't really thought about before. All I knew, years ago now, was that there were big volcanos in the Cascades north up to Baker and then....nothing I knew of. Pfly (talk) 07:22, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"I must be blind" you're not alone I misspelled Fowler for Powler lol. Also, "got called a high school" was supposed to be "got called a high school kid" LOL! It was late when I wrote that so my apologies. I normally have a good eye on picking up errors so that's why I don't usually have that many while writing articles. Wikipedia didn't have much about BC volcanoes when I started in 2006 so I don't blame you for thinking the Cascades ended at Baker. I'm pretty sure Mount Garibaldi was the only BC volcano article of reasonable size at the time, which needs some cleanup BTW. I'm hoping to get back into writing about volcanoes in the Pacific Ranges at some point in the future. My interests tend to shift from one place to another so it's hard to say when I will be writing about those volcanoes again. Right now I'm focusing mainly on the larger ones in northern BC but if I were to start writing about Cascade volcanoes again I would probably start by rewriting the Silverthrone Caldera article. Volcanoguy 11:48, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I may not be up to Skookum1 levels but I might get there if I continue to edit at the rate I have been doing this past year. 😉 Volcanoguy 03:49, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since the time you added a not-commonly known technical word to Slab window in 2012, a reader asked "what does this mean?"(July 2017) You recently said "nope, nothing to clarify" (March 2021). Same reader seeing no help rephrased question April 2021 okay, 'explain'?].

When I saw this term today I thought it must be a misspelling. It is a *very* strange word for someone not already introduced to it within a particular domain, yes?

Younging isn't here. Younging direction gets something surprising that isn't what you meant. I doubt you want Young earth creationism either.

Linking to Wiktionary is a possibility, as it surprisingly actually has a geophysical definition, though it isn't exactly correct for this usage.   wikt:younging   I found a quote "Northward younging of the Kano intrusions is consistent with northward slab window migration." But that's not a definition. I *think* what's wanted is something like "the geographical direction in which volcanism becomes more recent due to the movement over time of subsurface sources of magma."

The thing is I see this often - an article that is opaque, using terminology that is cold-shouldering anyone not already part of the 'in' crowd. Being unfriendly to the hoi polloi is not of great service to your discipline, is it? Shenme (talk) 01:39, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Shenme: Well, what can I say? Geology is a technical subject that uses terms non-geologists may not be familiar with. It's not my fault if someone doesn't understand geology. In fact, it's impossible for everyone to understand everything. The simplicity of Wikipedia is one of the reasons why I have been thinking to retire as it's "unfriendly" to those who write about technical subjects. If something is technical that's just how it is. I didn't come to Wikipedia to do people's homework. Sorry. Volcanoguy 01:10, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a link to the Wiktionary definition as that is all what there is. To be honest I actually didn't even know "younging" was a geological term when I added that into the slab window article. I thought it was a general term for something that becomes younger. Volcanoguy 17:52, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

...I think I've resolved the image issue at Hoodoo Mountain. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:50, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: It was the licensing issue with the other four images that got me frustrated. But I've found a way around that so all good. Volcanoguy 03:29, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The current FAC just shows how unhelpful many Wikipedians really are; even those at WP Mountains or WP Canada won't do anything to help. Who really wants to be part of a website where users don't do anything to help each other? Just another reason to retire from Wikipedia. Volcanoguy 16:24, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Volcanoguy, I've sometimes found that those with whom I have had early "misunderstandings" turn out to be good friends, or at least good acquaintences. I'm glad we made it through that. Take care and keep up the good work. Eewilson (talk) 17:24, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've had this happen to me many years ago. It doesn't happen very often because I tend to work on articles by myself. I didn't view your comments as criticisms I just misunderstood them because earlier you claimed the Hoodoo Mountain article was too technical for the average reader to understand. Well, if it's too technical then what's the point in trying to make it better if technical terms can't be used? I was actually kinda surprised about that because I've brought more technical articles up to FA class, most recently Level Mountain in July of this year. I've been trying to rewrite the Edziza article in my sandbox but it's moving slowly thus far. Looks like it's going to be a large article, hopefully not too technical. Volcanoguy 18:23, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's one of the things I look for, probably because I have to work on it with botanical articles. I'm not a botanist, so I experienced having to self-teach the terminology. It's a whole other language. I read over my comments after you replied yesterday, and you are right, I did say it was too technical for the average reader, then focused on the lead. I can understand the confusion! My bad. I have the plant article in FAC, just finished a long GA review for someone, have worked on 3 FAC reviews, and I'm getting fried. I think a 1-2 week Wikibreak will be in order soon! Eewilson (talk) 18:34, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. I'm probably going to go on Wikibreak after Hoodoo's FAC closes. I have been writing geology and geography articles since I first became a Wikipedia user in 2006 and I don't recall ever taking a Wikibreak. But now all that writing and researching has exhausted me. Volcanoguy 21:18, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am still going, but I wonder how long I can sustain my tempo. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:21, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably because I've been editing above average; I don't normally make 10,000+ edits per year, not even close. Volcanoguy 20:52, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Volcanoguy, just checking in to see how you're doing and if you took a little break. I hope 2–3 more people pick up and review the Hoodoo Mountain article for FA. Even if they don't, it's GA and a great addition to Wikipedia. Stay cool. Eewilson (talk) 05:21, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've been doing okay how about you? I haven't gone on break yet, not until Hoodoo's FAC closes. I have contacted one person who I have worked with over the years to have a look at it. Jo-Jo Eumerus are you gonna help? Volcanoguy 21:56, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My FAC is almost finished (I hope). The hard part is done. Just waiting... Eewilson (talk) 00:10, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, Volcanoguy! The article you nominated, Mount Price (British Columbia), has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Gog the Mild (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:06, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, regarding the change on Abitibi greenstone belt, thrusted is listed as a misspelling of thrust on Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings/T and is uninflected as a past participle. flod logic (talk) 10:15, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, we moved all that data to a Lua module. Glad to see you were able to fix that before I could respond. --  Denelson83  17:17, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really familiar with things like that so it took me awhile to figure it out. I've edited modules only once or twice throughout my 16 years of editing Wikipedia. Volcanoguy 18:14, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Volcanoguy! I thought of you today as I was reading about the events of the subject of this section. I subscribe to the Newspapers dot com blog, and the subject for today was this (https://blog.newspapers.com/the-1815-eruption-of-mount-tambora-and-the-year-without-a-summer/). So, as a good Wikipedian, I of course came to read the articles on Mount Tambora and the Year Without a Summer, which led me into the article about pumice rafts, which then led me into wondering whatever happened to that pumice stone that my mother had to smoothe the bottoms of her feet, which led me to the amazement of realizing that we are all volcanic in origin (which I knew because of course we are!). And I thought, "I'm sure I'll find Volcanoguy in the history of some of these articles." And, lo and behold, there you are! I hope you are doing well. I've been spending my spring and summer cleaning and tidying my house and genealogy-ing. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 23:32, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: Hi, yes I'm doing well, thanks for checking in. I've edited a lot of volcanological articles outside of Canada over the years, mostly categorization but some article creation and expansion as well. In fact, I was the one who started the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora article. I'm still in the process of rewriting the Mount Garibaldi article for FAC, but that's gonna be finished in the next while; I just have to add an introduction and extend the history section before adding the text on Wikipedia. Genealogy is also an interest of mine, but I haven't done a whole lot in that field in the last year or so. Volcanoguy 06:21, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Good to hear from you and that genealogy is of interest to you, too! My research began in 1984 at a fairly young age. Breaks for schooling, life, Wikipedia, and other things have happened, but it is still my greatest passion, aside from animals and nature. Keep in touch! – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 12:49, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: I've just added the rewritten text to the Mount Garibaldi article. I'm not nominating the article to FAC yet because the images still need alt texts and there's probably a bit more to add. Volcanoguy 17:06, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: I've just nominated Mount Garibaldi for FA. Volcanoguy 03:15, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That’s great! Are people looking at it yet? I can take a look, too, if it’s not yet had any reviews. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 19:04, 10 August 2022 (UTC) – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 19:04, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: Two reviews so far. Volcanoguy 19:08, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I began. Need a break for dinner. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 22:04, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Will pick up more tonight and this weekend. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 03:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: Just letting you know that I've addressed all of your concerns. Volcanoguy 04:46, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Great! I'll take a look soon. I also owe you some additional input. I have been pulled in multiple directions in the past week, and I apologize for the delays. :( You work so hard and deserve better! Volcanos are not an easy subject, and your knowledge about them is amazing to me. The primary problems I come across with your articles that I've reviewed are related to wordiness, and I do that, too (as you can see in this comment!). This is what I usually look at, trying to compress and sometimes rearrange to make things easier to understand. It's hard to see it if you're the writer, and it's hard to make technical articles that easier to understand, but not impossible. Oh so many times I had to rework paragraphs and sentences in the FA Symphyotrichum lateriflorum and a few others. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 16:42, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: The Mount Garibaldi article appears to be doing well at FAC so I've decided to start working on the next one, Mount Cayley. This volcano is 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of Mount Garibaldi so not too far off. I'm not sure if I've already told you this but my goal is try to bring as many Canadian volcano articles up to FA class as possible. I realize it would be impossible to bring all the articles up to that standard, especially most of the ones about small volcanoes, so I'm gonna stick to the volcanoes that have enough information. This includes Mount Cayley, Mount Meager, the Mount Edziza Volcanic Complex (which would probably be the hardest one to put together; see my sandbox to get an idea) and possibly Tseax Cone, the Ilgachuz Range and the Itcha Range. Once that has been done I plan on doing the same for articles about American volcanoes, which I still have a lot to learn about. The best place for me to start would be volcano articles related to the Cascade Volcanic Arc (e.g. Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Glacier Peak, Goat Rocks, Mount St. Helens, Mount Hood, Mount Shasta, Lassen Peak) since they're the ones I'm most familiar with. Volcanoguy 06:10, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm excited! I am learning so much, and you are a great researcher. Do you want me to give input as you go along, or would you like for me to be available for GA or FA? I could probably be available for FA even if I looked as you go along, but not GA if I give input before then. Just let me know how I can help. I have actually seen Mount Rainier from a distance while driving with a friend from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle. It is the only volcano I've seen.

As for me, the asters are blooming again, so I have the desire to work on more Symphyotrichum articles. I created quite a few stubs in 2021 so that now each species has at least a stub article. The genus article itself could use some work, and I think I could copy some of the work that I did for the List of Symphyotrichum species article and add it to that one. I believe you helped with FL review on that.

The problem is that if I get too deep into Symphyotrichum work, I will temporarily abandon the genealogy committments I have made this year. C'est la vie. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 09:17, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: I probably won't need help with GAs as they tend to pass easily. You're lucky to have seen a volcano in person. I live in Eastern Canada and I've never ventured further west than Alberta so I've never viewed any volcanoes, at least not geologically recent ones. The volcanic rocks where I am are ancient, apparently 2.7 billion years old (Precambrian).

I'm pretty sure Symphyotrichum lateriflorum was the only one of yours I reviewed; I wasn't aware of the FL review. If you plan on bringing more Symphyotrichum articles to FA I will help as long as you let me know. Volcanoguy 18:37, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you're interested in editing the main page blurb, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 9, 2023, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. If you wish to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article, you can do so at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/April 2023.

I suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks and congratulations Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:15, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April songs

my story today

Thank you today for the article, "about a mountain in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Mount Price is also an andesitic stratovolcano that began forming 1.2 million years ago. A vent on its western slope (Clinker Peak) was the source of two thick lava flows that ponded against an ice sheet within the last 15,000 years. These lava flows were one of the first described occurrences of lava having been impounded by glacial ice."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:12, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Volcanoguy! I was the one who said Burney Mountain was a stratovolcano. I know you deleted it, but it's TRUE. Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway says so! User:TheEarlyVolcanologist2023, 12 April 2023

@TheEarlyVolcanologist2023: Just because the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway says so doesn't mean it's true. With that being said, the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway website might not meet with Wikipedia's reliable sources guideline. Peer reviewed journals are much better sources for volcanological topics. Volcanoguy 01:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

someone moved Round Mountain (British Columbia)..... leaving us no clue that this is about a volcano. Moxy- 20:35, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean. The infobox claims Round Mountain last erupted during the Pleistocene and there is a link to the Catalogue of Canadian volcanoes which I just fixed. Volcanoguy 20:47, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: I will take a look at Incapillo when I have a chance. What do you think of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex article? It's still in need of some work before I nominate it for FAC (e.g. needs more explanation notes) but it's getting there. Volcanoguy 11:10, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems pretty OK on a first glance; can probably add more if it goes to FAC. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any more suggestions. The only thing I don't agree with is having "Geologic history" it's own section rather than a subsection of "Geology". Just because most articles consider something separate doesn't mean it's correct. Volcanoguy 18:06, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

...is Mount Churchill/White River Ash on your radar? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Not really, although I did create the White River Ash article years ago. Do you plan on improving these articles? Volcanoguy 18:43, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, I tend to leave the Canadian volcanoes in your hands. It's kinda a long list of sources to use. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Mount Churchill isn't Canadian though. It's in Alaska so it's American. Volcanoguy 16:45, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Please let me know if you're going to improve Mount Churchill. I will keep an eye on it as I might be able to add some information using sources I already have. Given Churchill's explosive history and close proximity to the Yukon border it definitely posses a hazard to Canada. Volcanoguy 21:46, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will. First, though, El Misti. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:48, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Misti is done but not ready for a FAC/GAN. If I can get Mount Hudson (at User:Jo-Jo Eumerus/Mount Hudson) done before December, I'll head to WRA/MC. I admit, any work on WRA/MC would happen in the hope that I won't be the only editor updating them as new research comes out; the list of articles that I need to maintain is pretty long. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:03, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: I haven't brought as many articles to GA or FA as you have but I have more than 600 pages on my watchlist that I maintain. Most of them have to do with Canadian volcanoes and related topics but they don't change much apart from my contributions so it's pretty easy to maintain them. Volcanoguy 20:31, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with WRA/MC specifically is that unlike most Canadian volcanoes, there is sustained research and thus the article will need frequent updates. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:04, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: I'm not interested in updating articles frequently so you would probably be better off working on a different article if the sustained research is problematic. I think WRA/MC should be updated/expanded but I'm not aware of anyone who updates or expands Alaskan volcano articles on a regular basis. Alaska's not really on my radar since it's a U.S. state rather than a Canadian province/territory. But I may branch out once I've brought all of the articles about major/important Canadian volcanoes to GA or FA. Volcanoguy 12:44, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I see. Mount Okmok might be another candidate for expansion there since the 43BC eruption/Okmok II caldera caused global climate change. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:13, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or just 43 BCE eruption of Okmok, which is shorter. JoJo Eumerus mobile (main talk) 13:49, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or Okmok II eruption? Volcanoguy 18:53, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Upon reflection, just expanding Okmok might also work, along the lines of Mount Hudson. Granted I'd be a bit more comfortable if there was a consensus for the editorial decision I made there to treat all the major eruptions the same, even if some are prehistoric and others aren't and thus some have fewer sources than others. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've created Volcanism of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex by splitting Mount Edziza volcanic complex. It should be good enough for GA so I've nominated it as such. Volcanoguy 09:50, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just begun the expansion of Mount Churchill. As per my convention, I expand first the volcano article and leave any questions about splits, renames etc. to others, later. Paring down the previous-article-now-lead so that it's an actual lead is necessary at some point. Also expanded Mount Okmok and Mount Aniakchak over the last week. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:06, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re Mount Churchill, this archived source may become useful. Volcanoguy 02:36, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That source has been applied, and now my work on Mount Churchill is finished. Currently wondering whether to send it to GAN. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Guy, just dropping by to say Hi. This year has been an active one for me. Not on Wikipedia, obviously, but in real life. I had thoughts of doing some Symphyotrichum article updates or expansions for the genus or a species or two before aster season began, but that's over in most of the Americas now. If I get back to them sometime soon, I could try to do more on the Central and South American ones because they will continue to bloom.

Volcanoguy 14:06, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help! Honestly I'm not too sure - I haven't participated in any FA reviews yet, I've only lurked some. I know references get scrutinized a lot, especially making sure they're consistent (eg ISBN are all 9 numbers) and have all relevant info they could have.

@Pfly: See Wikipedia:Featured article candidates for commenting, etc. Volcanoguy 21:25, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Volcanoguy, I owe you a zillion apologies for dropping the ball on this. I was looking at the progress of the FA nom so far. I could be good at a source review, although I am very detailed and might be a tad annoying, but it is one of the things I enjoy doing. Is that something that is needed now? What other areas would you prefer? It has been way too long since I have done significant service on Wikipedia. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 16:29, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: Yes still needing a source review. Volcanoguy 17:22, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson, Jo-Jo Eumerus, and Pfly: More than four weeks in and just the single general support. Unless this nomination makes significant further progress towards a consensus to promote over the next two or three days I am afraid that it is liable to be archived. Volcanoguy 23:10, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: You can stop reviewing the MEVC article. I'm done with FACs. Volcanoguy 16:49, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They can be frustrating. I was looking at the exchange this morning and found it frustrating for you. I understand. Gog suggested a 48-hour cooling-off period. I think there is a writing style mismatch with the one reviewer, and he pulled out. If you do want me to pick up again, let me know. If you have input on what I've suggested so far, I'm always open to hearing it. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 18:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eewilson: You can continue to review the sources if you want to; it would still be helpful to improve the article. Volcanoguy 02:08, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grungaloo: Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I might nominate Mount Edziza for GA after I expand and rewrite it in case you're interested in reviewing it. The work in progress is in my sandbox for now. Volcanoguy 19:39, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grungaloo: Mount Edziza is now a GAN. Volcanoguy 23:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Volcanoguy!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.

• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
