Yemen's Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation refers to the island as Jabal al-Tair Island. [1] It's also the most common use of the term across the internet. Of course, I'm just going on what I've been able to find, so I could be wrong. — Viriditas | Talk 05:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
A (cited) Reuters article indicated an earthquake of magnitude 4.3 in September of 2007. This was changed, in the Wikipedia article, to a mention of the "Richter scale." Most seismology data is reported to the general public as "magnitude", but both members of the press and Wikipedia writers like to add the term "Richter scale", which is largely obsolete. Earthquake magnitude is reported as a number indicating "moment magnitude," and it is simply incorrect to call that "Richter scale." If a cited news report or siesmological measurement says "magnitude", DO NOT call it "Richter scale." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 ( talk) 15:59, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Incredible. This article is already appearing in Google results! From nothing a few hours ago to probably the best one-page resource on the island. Congratulations, everyone! -- Dhartung | Talk 10:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Looks more like a Fissure vent on the BBC film. Several 'fountains' of lava in a row at low pressure. Strange to have a Stratovolcano on a divergent boundary...or is it? 160.84.253.241 12:51, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Since most mountain/volcano articles have {{ infobox mountain}} is there any objection to adding it to the article? — Viriditas | Talk 21:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
The following text was unsourced expansion, inappropriately placed in Yemen#2007 volcano eruption:
Placed here in case anyone wants to add and source any part of this. In particular I am unable to find sources for the Alvares Cabral claims. -- Dhartung | Talk 22:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Could someone better skilled at Wiki edits than myself please add the coordinates of the island to this page? It's located at 15°33'0"N, 41°49'0"E (15.55°N, 41.82°E). I noticed a pointer to this page doesn't show up in the Wikipedia overlay for Google Earth. I am hoping this may help. Many thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.169.219.130 ( talk) 05:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I've been trying to locate more recent information on just what the island is doing but I've not been able to find anything more recent than the 8th of December 2007. See: Volcano Blog
Has anyone else had any luck in running information down? Graham1973 ( talk) 00:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
it looks to have stopped based on these
[5]
[6] - second link suggest sattellite info ceased showing hotspots in june 2008. First link shows last eruption as 2008 - suggesting eruption ended in 2008 didn't continue into 2009 - so I've changed the info box. Think that seems correct though this photo
[7] dated as 07NOV08 (in the bottom right) still shows smoke rising from the vent.

One or the other or both? Viriditas ( talk) 02:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Well for a while I thought it might be a
Seamount but apparently not as it's above water level. I've manually removed the lines I inserted based on that original assumption.
