Some anon changed all the adj. forms to 'Ioan', claiming this was the form in the technical lit. I've never seen this, but if there is a ref, we could add it as an alternate. kwami 14:06, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
some people use the word ioan for people from ioia USA —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.206.77.234 ( talk) 20:23, August 20, 2007 (UTC)
"Ionian" is used to refer to a resident of the historical Greek city of Iona. I think it is Ioan. Ioia, USA is a small American town without a Wikipedia article. "Wikipedia is not for something you and your friends made up." 207.210.130.120 ( talk) 13:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Could we get a photo or two from the New Horizon craft in this article? There were a couple in a recent issue of astronomy with an interesting view of one of the volcanic plumes. 207.210.130.120 ( talk) 13:44, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
The Milwaukee Sentinel, Pasadena, Calif.--UPI, Jupiter moon shows color, erosion signs, Mar. 6, 1979, page 2: " . . . an orange world on the moon known as Io. Peaks, pits, plains and channels looked as if they were carved by water. . . . a sphere of varying shades of orange and yellow, with broad white blotches."
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Io highest resolution true color.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 8, 2013. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2013-09-08. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 00:49, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
The problem sentence is the last sentence in the lead: "Further observations have been made by Cassini–Huygens in 2000 and New Horizons in 2007, as well as from Earth-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope as technology has advanced."
Strictly speaking this sentence is not grammatically incorrect, but I highly doubt the current meaning is correct. The sentence's current meaning is that scientists made observations from Earth-based telescopes and the HST because technology has advanced (emphasis mine). I think this is clearly wrong. The intended meaning should be, scientists were able to make observations from Earth-based telescopes and the HST because technology has advanced (again, emphasis mine). If my interpretation of the sentence's intended meaning is correct, then the sentence should have '... as technology advanced' at the end as opposed to '... as technology has advanced'. At the moment the word 'as' is synonymous with 'because'; on the other hand if the word 'has' is deleted then 'as' is used as a conjunction.
I'm going to delete the word 'has' because I highly doubt the current sentence is worded right. Banedon ( talk) 08:09, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
Every time this is mentioned in the lede, someone edits it out. It is extremely significant, that after our moon, it (with Europa) was the first to be found ! -- EvenGreenerFish ( talk) 12:42, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Have just come across this image. Is there a place for it here? Perhaps replacing File:PIA01129_Interior_of_Io.jpg in the Structure interior section. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo) talk 01:39, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
The article on the moon Amalthea states that from its surface, Jupiter would take up 46.5° of the sky. How big (angular width) would Jupiter appear from Io? — Loadmaster ( talk) 19:37, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Shouldn't this moon be called 'Geoss', as that's where an 'Ionian' would be from? Also the name 'Geoss' fits with the denomination of the Solar System, although I can't verify it. JS091793BRIGHTFIELD ( talk) 13:18, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
There's a spectacular video of an eruption here: [1]. If the rights are available, can this be uploaded? Spikebrennan 15:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
It's a NASA image, so it's public. I'll have a go at swapping it for the still image of Tvashtar. Serendipodous 17:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Why does the caption for this image say "spewing material 330 km into space" in apparent contradiction with the first paragraph of the volcanism section which states: "material (like ash) are blown up to 200 km (120 mi) into space." So which is it? — Preceding

Is the number given, 421,700 km, actually the distance from Jupiter or is it actually the radius of the orbit? If you subtract the radius of Jupiter, this makes the moon at a distance of 352000 km from Jupiter. This seems very close to me. Are you sure the radius you have listed is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.225.129.13 ( talk) 14:52, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
In section Orbit and rotation, a gif is shown. Generated thumbnails of GIFs are restricted depending on the size of the original GIF. The page shows animated gif for me. It seems that the restriction was updated. Are there other ways the thumbnails can be generated? For a mobile version of the page, perhaps? If the proper animated thumbnail is generated for all versions of the article page, the "(click for animation)" note could be removed. — andrybak ( talk) 11:42, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
"Io played a significant role in the development of astronomy in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was discovered in January 1610 by Galileo Galilei, along with the other Galilean satellites." says part of the opening paragraph. No, this piece is about the four Gaililean satelites, not just Io and should not be in this article at all, let alone the leading paragraph. The Io article should be about what is significant about Io, of which there is plenty.

The comment: "Unlike volcanoes on Earth, Ionian volcanoes emit sulfur or possibly sulfur dioxide." is odd, because volcanoes on Earth often emit sulfur dioxide. Occasionally they even emit actual sulfur.
Hi, I am working to encourage implementation of the goals of the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. Part of that is to make sure articles cite their sources. This is particularly important for featured articles, since they are a prominent part of Wikipedia. The Fact and Reference Check Project has more information. Thank you, and please leave me a message when you have added a few references to the article. - Taxman 17:43, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
On Jeopardy today there was a clue where the answer (question) was "What is IO?" but the guy said "What is EO?" and they accepted it. This made me wonder if there was another pronunciation. I looked around and found this PBS webpage that says the 4 moons are "Eo, Europa, Ganameta, and Callisto". Is Eo an alternate spelling? What's the deal? -- 1 July 2005 06:01 (UTC)
