Hello Volcanoguy - You might want to reconsider the deletion you did. Most visitors to Spahats Falls also go to the Clearwater Valley Overlook, since the 2 viewpoints are so close. Most people drive, but there is also a trail from the falls viewing platform along the top of the cliffs to the overlook, as I noted in the 'Trails' section. Secondly, you could rename the article 'Spahats Falls' since nobody calls it 'Spahats Creek Falls'. That is its official name in the BCGNIS but road signage, BC Parks signage and both Wells Gray Park books use the shorter version. Your choice - since you created the article.

The Mount Cayley volcanic field is a remote north-south trending volcanic zone on the Coast of British Columbia that stretches 31 km (19 mi) from the Pemberton Icefield to the Squamish River. The field is located in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It forms the central segment of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, the Canadian portion of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which extends from Northern California to southwestern British Columbia. Most of the Cayley volcanoes were formed during periods of volcanism under sheets of glacial ice throughout the last glacial period. These subglacial eruptions formed steep, flat-topped volcanoes and subglacial lava domes, most of which have been entirely exposed by deglaciation. However, at least two volcanoes predate the last glacial period and both are highly eroded. The field gets its name from Mount Cayley, the largest and most persistent volcano, located at the southern end of the Powder Mountain Icefield. This icefield covers much of the central portion of the volcanic field and is one of the several glacial fields in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. Eruptions along the length of the field began between 1.6 and 5.3 million years ago. At least 23 eruptions have occurred throughout its eruptive history. This volcanic activity ranged from effusive to explosive, with magma compositions ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic. ( more...)

Hello Volcanoguy - I have made revisions to this article which you have done some work on. As this contradicts your work, can you check Goward/Hickson's book and, although it's a conflict of interest to suggest it, my book? Both discuss the formation of Pyramid Mountain. I have added these references as the article has had a citation for no references since 2009. Hickson calls Pyramid a tuya and defines it differently than Wikipedia's article on a tuya. Other nearby tuyas are McLeod Hill and Fifty-Two Ridge on Battle Mountain. I'll be interested in your comments. Roland Neave ( talk) 05:21, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello Volcanoguy, I was just looking at Mount Nyiragongo I see in the history that you listed the volcano as VEI 1 - so I thought I'd best drop you a line, as my very rough calculation from the figures in the article suggested higher. I wondered where you got the info?
The article says "about 20 km north of the town of Goma and Lake Kivu" and "Lava streamed from three spatter cones at the end of the fissure and flowed in a stream 200 to 1000 m wide and up to 2 m deep through Goma." For my rough calculation I took an average 600m ((200m+1000m)/2)wide and assumed an average depth of 1m (2m+0/2) for 20km So .6 x 20 x .001 = 0.012 cubic km, which would put it over .01 cubic meters so it would be vei 3 (not vei 1).
But this reference [2] for the 1977 eruption says "An estimated volume of 50,000 cubic m of lava was expelled by the phreatomagmatic eruption which immediatelyfollowed the collapse of the inner parts of the crater." and possibly significant this reference for the 2002 eruption [3] says "He said he made his prediction after observing that there was 10 times more lava in the volcano's crater than in 1977"
So if that was an accurate assessment that would be approx 500,000 cubic m (so 0.5 km cubed taking it all the way up to VEI-4)
Anyway just thought I'd ask what you thought :) EdwardLane ( talk) 21:49, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Swearing at a fellow editor is not appropriate behaviour on Wikipedia. See WP:CIV for the policy. As for McDougall Lake, I have been there and can assure you that it is not dammed by Kostal lava. It is correct that the lava reached the south end of the lake just west of its outlet and pushed the course of File Creek eastward. The lake is very deep and its basin was scoured by glaciers long before the Kostal eruption. Since you reverted my edit on this matter, I suggest you go to McDougall Lake and look at it yourself – easiest way is to charter a float plane out of 100 Mile House. In the meantime, please add some proper citations to this article. I put in a 'citation needed' on June 13 and you deleted that without providing any. Roland Neave ( talk) 04:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

The 2007–2008 Nazko earthquakes were a series of small earthquakes measuring less than 4.0 on the Richter magnitude scale. They took place in the sparsely populated Nazko area of the Central Interior of British Columbia starting on Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Their epicenters were near the upper Baezaeko River, 30 km (19 mi) west of Nazko Cone, a small tree-covered cinder cone that last erupted about 7,200 years ago. The swarm of earthquakes is unique in that it is the only notable concentration of seismicity in the Canadian Cordillera away from the British Columbia Coast. No damages or casualties resulted from the Nazko earthquakes, which were too small to be felt by people, but local seismographs recorded them. The earthquake swarm occurred at the eastern end of a known volcanic zone called the Anahim Volcanic Belt. This is an east-west trending 600 km (370 mi) long line of volcanoes that extends from just north of Vancouver Island to near the small city of Quesnel. ( more...)
Hello. I've been studying volcanoes for around 5 years too. And I am furthermore the author of at least two scientific papers on volcanoes. Thus, you should not try to have your opinion prevail by pretending that your knowledge about them is necessarily better than mine. The fact is that Category:Ornithology is currently in Category:Birds, Category:Sociology in Category:Society, Category:Narratology in Category:Storytelling, etc. Consequently, there is no reason why, as far as I think, Category:Volcanology should not be in Category:Volcanism.

Hi. I'll start by echoing the plaudits for your User page.
Now, about linking, and this edit. I think you were following wp:overlink, without allowing for wp:repeatlink.
The latter suggests it's ok to repeat a link if the repetition is in an image's caption.
Personally, I feel that a caption with no link looks bland, and adding a link helps a reader to follow up on an unknown aspect, without them having to scan the article for the one link.
As an example, earth, a wp:Featured Article, has links from every image, some of which are repeated.
To end on an upbeat note, kudos to you for your vast work on volcanoes. Best wishes, Trafford09 ( talk) 07:59, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
OK - thanks. Trafford09 ( talk) 18:07, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
Well, I'm no authority, and any opinion I've formed is based on the links I mentioned earlier.
But it seems that it's up to personal choice, whether to use links in captions. My own view, for what it's worth, is that links in captions do very little harm, and yet they both brighten up the caption and provide a useful link for a curious reader, without the reader searching for a link in the article text. I'd agree with you that the case for the same link in 2 captions is a bit weaker.
Good luck with the next FA article. Regards, Trafford09 ( talk) 12:11, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I was indeed wondering which article you were next improving. I've taken an initial look at it - hope you don't mind - and I like the links you've got there from the captions. I've made a couple of minor changes - trivial ones. Best of luck with your future work. Trafford09 ( talk) 22:24, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
Well, nice of you to ask me, but I'm afraid I'm no expert on making an article an FA one - I bow to your own experience! No doubt there's a FA Checklist somewhere, on what things one should check.
I'm a novice in geology and volcanoes. To my layman's eyes, the article seems a little technical (e.g. rock types & volcanic terms), even allowing for its subject matter. This is of course alleviated by many helpful links.
It'd be nice if there were a linked article to explain Assemblage (geology) - but I found none.
A repeated phrase that jarred a little with me was "xyz was erupted". Apart from volcanoes, in everyday British English usage, the verb is only intransitive. So, I'm used to something erupting, but not "being erupted".
But I saw nothing else I could improve. I didn't check the references.
Hope your efforts pay off! Trafford09 ( talk) 00:19, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. Oh - I've posed a collaborative question at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Volcanoes#Assemblage, so we may get some geological help there, and end up with something we could link into XYZ Assemblage articles. Cheers, Trafford09 ( talk) 10:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

I mentioned this on Talk:Garibaldi Volcanic Belt but I thought it would be good to mention it here as well. Later I will change this redirect to an article for a number of reasons: the Canadian Cascade Arc and Garibaldi Volcanic Belt are not necessary the same thing. The Canadian Cascade Arc is a broader and older feature, consisting of at least four subduction zone-related belts. The Chilcotin Group is a product of back-arc volcanism, the Alert Bay Volcanic Belt was formed by fore-arc volcanism, and the Garibaldi and Pemberton belts are main-arc features. Much of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt consists of intrusions (e.g. Salal Creek Pluton, Rogers Creek Pluton, Chilliwack batholith, Mount Barr Plutonic Complex), but after doing research it turns out that these intrusions are generally thought to be the roots of deeply eroded Oligocene-Miocene volcanoes. I found a geology paper that mentions the Salal Creek Pluton, stating that it is possible similar episodes of volcanic activity to that of Mount Meager occurred during the emplacement of the Salal Creek Pluton and the present level of erosion has exposed the upper level of intrusive rocks and volcanics have been eroded away. However, the Salal Creek Pluton (10 km wide) covers a much larger area than Mount Meager (4 km wide). The Salal Creek Pluton may have generated a massive volcanic dome 8 million years ago, but rapid erosion to a depth of about 1 km has exposed the underlying pluton.

I'm trying to get people who are willing to help me out with a pet project I've begun but realised that it will be extremely hard for me to even make a small dent in. First of all, I got your name from the list of active members on the wikiproject for mining articles. Please disregard this, if you're not interested.
So, here's what I'm trying to do and what you could do to help me. I noticed that there were very few articles that list mines. I've tried (to the best of my abilities) to create a sub-page that lists all of the probable articles for lists of mines that I could think of, you can review this here.
Basically, I need help. Suggestions on different lists to add, I need lists created, if the lede I've been using should be changed, I'd like community consensus on the standard layout (I've been going with listing articles like List of gold mines by country and List of mines in the United States by output. If someone would like to make templates for these articles.
Please, don't feel obligated. I came to you, and others like you because of your implied interest in mining articles. List articles are not exactly in everyone's taste. If you are completely uninterested, but think you might know someone who might be, please let them know about it. I could use all the help I can get.

Greetings! I have been making my way around some of the earthquake articles that we have and expanding some here and there. The 1663 Charlevoix earthquake was one that you had created that was built up with the help of another editor. I came across this 1918 Canadian earthquake article that you also started. On the other coast this time, and a little more current; only a century old or so :)
Well, I did get a start on it, but thought that since it is a rather low key event (minimal damage, magnitude 7 or less, and no deaths) I should check with other folks first on whether the article should be kept. To get a feel for what others think I am going to do an AfD on it. I can only go by the guidelines that were put together as to whether it "meets the minimums" or not and want to do this to prevent getting surprised down the road. Would rather get it out of the way before expanding any more since the article is sort of right on the cusp of being notable. I just don't know if it should be merged into one of the other Vancouver Island earthquake articles or if it can stand alone. There's other earthquakes in that area that we don't have articles on yet too, so again, just want to get ideas, not necessarily get rid of it. In a few edits I have added about another paragraph or so. Please do chime in on the AfD. Dawnseeker2000 01:04, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

I would recommend going through the Good Article process before attempting FA. I had the same lack of participation with Coeur Alaska, Inc. v. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, both at WP:MINING, and at WP:SCOTUS (although I just notified the projects, didn't request feedback at peer review). Coeur failed FA, based on lack of information on some things. I thought it was good enough, but I was wrong (shows what I know about the FAC). As it is now, I think that it could pass GA fairly easy, with not a whole lot of changes, but I don't know what scope FA would look for articles about mines, the main reason I never attempted to bring one up to that level. -- kelapstick( bainuu) 01:05, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

"People from City" categories are not applied solely on the basis of where a person was born. Rather, a person can be categorized as being from any place where they lived for long enough to merit it being mentioned in the article at all — if a person lived in 10 different cities over the course of their lives, then they can go in all ten "People from City" categories and not just the one for where they were actually born. And under no circumstances does a person ever go directly in a "City" category, so if you really insist that he not be categorized as "people from" those cities, then he does not go in either Category:Greater Sudbury or Category:Timmins instead. And, in fact, you missed the even more crucial detail that O'Connor was a mayor of Sudbury during his time living there, meaning he actually belongs in Category:Mayors of Sudbury, Ontario.

ResMar, while I was doing some research I found information here about a bentonite layer in eastern Ontario, southern Quebec and New York called the Russell Bed, which apparently formed by volcanic activity about 451 million years ago. There are also several small diatremes in the Finger Lakes region according to this. I just wanted to inform you about these things because I remember you mentioning "too bad there arn't any volcanoes in New York" in 2010. Volcano guy 21:19, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Volcanoguy! When you posted your map request last year I was interested but didn’t have the time or energy to pursue it; now I’d like to help with the geological map, if I can. (Sorry, I don’t know how to make a map that’s compatible with the location templates, although that’s one of many things I want to look into some day …) Anyway, I’ve downloaded the article you linked to, but I’m not clear on exactly what you’d like done. Do you still want the satellite/air-photo background, or a plain outline/plan map? (I think the latter would be clearer WRT the geological info.) Do you want to show the principal surface-hydrographic features? (They, with the ON/PQ border, might help a reader establish the location.) Please let me know what you can recover of your thoughts from back then, either here or on my Talk page.— Odysseus1479 ( talk) 05:28, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Here's the start of my review. I'll try to finish sometime this week, but it's going to be crazy likely every day. I see you already made a few changes, so disregard my comments if they no longer apply.
Hi VolcanoGuy, I presume shield volcanoes are on your watchlist already, but in case they are not I thought I'd let you know I've made a talk page edit there suggesting a tweak to the definition on that page - I'm not keen on the the draft I suggested that much - especially given the comment further up the talk page about the rhyolite shield volcano, so I think that still needs some reworking.

Hi VG, hope all's well. I am curious as to why Mount Meager hasn't been renominated at FAC; I certainly think it has the potential to pass and doubt that it won't get enough attention like the last run. Is there another reason you haven't renominated? ceran thor 22:05, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

You probably have other things to do but can you recommend some active editors who might be interested. We need some real experts to assist with these as they're very important topics.

Good day,
I've spent this summer surveying Lava Lake B.C. with an imaging sidescan sonar. One of the interesting discoveries was that while the lava dam extended to a depth of 80 ft below the current surface, the depth of the lake exceed 186 ft. Conclusion is that this lake was there prior to the Tseax event of the 18th cent, though the lake was certainly deepened by this event. Given that I can see a river bed at 20 ft deep in the Southern part of the lake, it would seem that the increase in depth is between 20 and 80 ft.
I hope this will be sufficient to allow you to correct the Wiki article which states the lake was formed by the eruption, as it surely was not.
Best Regards, Bill

No. The source clearly gives the summit elevation of the Chaîne des Puys, i.e Puy de Dôme itself, as 1,464, not 840m. But the reliablity of 1,464 in the source is questionable seeing as every map of the area gives 1,465. (Try the Michelin map for size.) Given that, I would be suspect of any dates given by the site, but in any case, "Western Puy de Dôme" is not Puy de Dôme itself. Emeraude ( talk) 09:23, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
I accept the date of the last eruption can be contentious, as it is for any volcano that erupted before recorded history. The latest research seems to suggest 10,700 years ago. (D. Miallier, Pierre Boivin, C. Deniel, A. Gourgaud, P. Lanos, M. Sforna, Thierry Pilleyre "The ultimate summit eruption of Puy de Dôme volcano (Chaine des Puys, French Massif Central) about 10,700 years ago", Comptes Rendus Géosciences 342 (2010) 847-854) I suggest that's a reliable and up-to-date source that ought to be used.
However, when I say that Puy de Dôme has an elevation of 1,465m asl I am right, the GVP source is wrong and so are you if you use it! Your figure of 484 is pure fantasy! Are you denying that Puy de Dôme is the highest point of the Chaîne des Puys? Have you taken the very simple step of looking at a map to check? You might also check the following:

Hello Volcanoguy - You might want to reconsider the deletion you did. Most visitors to Spahats Falls also go to the Clearwater Valley Overlook, since the 2 viewpoints are so close. Most people drive, but there is also a trail from the falls viewing platform along the top of the cliffs to the overlook, as I noted in the 'Trails' section. Secondly, you could rename the article 'Spahats Falls' since nobody calls it 'Spahats Creek Falls'. That is its official name in the BCGNIS but road signage, BC Parks signage and both Wells Gray Park books use the shorter version. Your choice - since you created the article.

The Mount Cayley volcanic field is a remote north-south trending volcanic zone on the Coast of British Columbia that stretches 31 km (19 mi) from the Pemberton Icefield to the Squamish River. The field is located in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It forms the central segment of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, the Canadian portion of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which extends from Northern California to southwestern British Columbia. Most of the Cayley volcanoes were formed during periods of volcanism under sheets of glacial ice throughout the last glacial period. These subglacial eruptions formed steep, flat-topped volcanoes and subglacial lava domes, most of which have been entirely exposed by deglaciation. However, at least two volcanoes predate the last glacial period and both are highly eroded. The field gets its name from Mount Cayley, the largest and most persistent volcano, located at the southern end of the Powder Mountain Icefield. This icefield covers much of the central portion of the volcanic field and is one of the several glacial fields in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. Eruptions along the length of the field began between 1.6 and 5.3 million years ago. At least 23 eruptions have occurred throughout its eruptive history. This volcanic activity ranged from effusive to explosive, with magma compositions ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic. ( more...)
It's always possible that it is yet another mysterious vulcanology term, but could you check whether the three occurrences of 'seconed' might really be supposed to be 'second'? There were four occurrences originally, but someone must have changed one of those. Shenme ( talk) 02:28, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

The fact was ... that Heart Peaks in northern British Columbia, Canada, is the third largest volcano in the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hello Volcanoguy - I have made revisions to this article which you have done some work on. As this contradicts your work, can you check Goward/Hickson's book and, although it's a conflict of interest to suggest it, my book? Both discuss the formation of Pyramid Mountain. I have added these references as the article has had a citation for no references since 2009. Hickson calls Pyramid a tuya and defines it differently than Wikipedia's article on a tuya. Other nearby tuyas are McLeod Hill and Fifty-Two Ridge on Battle Mountain. I'll be interested in your comments. Roland Neave ( talk) 05:21, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello Volcanoguy, I was just looking at Mount Nyiragongo I see in the history that you listed the volcano as VEI 1 - so I thought I'd best drop you a line, as my very rough calculation from the figures in the article suggested higher. I wondered where you got the info?
The article says "about 20 km north of the town of Goma and Lake Kivu" and "Lava streamed from three spatter cones at the end of the fissure and flowed in a stream 200 to 1000 m wide and up to 2 m deep through Goma." For my rough calculation I took an average 600m ((200m+1000m)/2)wide and assumed an average depth of 1m (2m+0/2) for 20km So .6 x 20 x .001 = 0.012 cubic km, which would put it over .01 cubic meters so it would be vei 3 (not vei 1).
But this reference [2] for the 1977 eruption says "An estimated volume of 50,000 cubic m of lava was expelled by the phreatomagmatic eruption which immediatelyfollowed the collapse of the inner parts of the crater." and possibly significant this reference for the 2002 eruption [3] says "He said he made his prediction after observing that there was 10 times more lava in the volcano's crater than in 1977"
So if that was an accurate assessment that would be approx 500,000 cubic m (so 0.5 km cubed taking it all the way up to VEI-4)
Anyway just thought I'd ask what you thought :) EdwardLane ( talk) 21:49, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Swearing at a fellow editor is not appropriate behaviour on Wikipedia. See WP:CIV for the policy. As for McDougall Lake, I have been there and can assure you that it is not dammed by Kostal lava. It is correct that the lava reached the south end of the lake just west of its outlet and pushed the course of File Creek eastward. The lake is very deep and its basin was scoured by glaciers long before the Kostal eruption. Since you reverted my edit on this matter, I suggest you go to McDougall Lake and look at it yourself – easiest way is to charter a float plane out of 100 Mile House. In the meantime, please add some proper citations to this article. I put in a 'citation needed' on June 13 and you deleted that without providing any. Roland Neave ( talk) 04:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

guy 14:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)I have just created a stub article W.J.B. Greenwood Provincial Park. The park web site mentions volcanic features including dikes. However, the park preliminary management statement does not seem to indicate this. Thought you might know more, and might add text to the article, if appropriate. (Also, as an aside, in case you had not come across these resources, I have stumbled upon historic mining claim maps at the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry; this is the alphabetical index. They are useful for me for determining geographic locations in Ontario, in particular old townships that may today be only geographic townships. I have used them as references most recently at Rib Lake (Ontario) and Latchford, Ontario. Perhaps they might be useful for you for geological reasons.) -- papageno ( talk) 18:11, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

The 2007–2008 Nazko earthquakes were a series of small earthquakes measuring less than 4.0 on the Richter magnitude scale. They took place in the sparsely populated Nazko area of the Central Interior of British Columbia starting on Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Their epicenters were near the upper Baezaeko River, 30 km (19 mi) west of Nazko Cone, a small tree-covered cinder cone that last erupted about 7,200 years ago. The swarm of earthquakes is unique in that it is the only notable concentration of seismicity in the Canadian Cordillera away from the British Columbia Coast. No damages or casualties resulted from the Nazko earthquakes, which were too small to be felt by people, but local seismographs recorded them. The earthquake swarm occurred at the eastern end of a known volcanic zone called the Anahim Volcanic Belt. This is an east-west trending 600 km (370 mi) long line of volcanoes that extends from just north of Vancouver Island to near the small city of Quesnel. ( more...)
Hello. I've been studying volcanoes for around 5 years too. And I am furthermore the author of at least two scientific papers on volcanoes. Thus, you should not try to have your opinion prevail by pretending that your knowledge about them is necessarily better than mine. The fact is that Category:Ornithology is currently in Category:Birds, Category:Sociology in Category:Society, Category:Narratology in Category:Storytelling, etc. Consequently, there is no reason why, as far as I think, Category:Volcanology should not be in Category:Volcanism. You should really revert your edits or quit the project as intended. Thierry Caro ( talk) 05:17, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I'll start by echoing the plaudits for your User page.
Now, about linking, and this edit. I think you were following wp:overlink, without allowing for wp:repeatlink.
The latter suggests it's ok to repeat a link if the repetition is in an image's caption.
Personally, I feel that a caption with no link looks bland, and adding a link helps a reader to follow up on an unknown aspect, without them having to scan the article for the one link.
As an example, earth, a wp:Featured Article, has links from every image, some of which are repeated.
To end on an upbeat note, kudos to you for your vast work on volcanoes. Best wishes, Trafford09 ( talk) 07:59, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
OK - thanks. Trafford09 ( talk) 18:07, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
Well, I'm no authority, and any opinion I've formed is based on the links I mentioned earlier.
But it seems that it's up to personal choice, whether to use links in captions. My own view, for what it's worth, is that links in captions do very little harm, and yet they both brighten up the caption and provide a useful link for a curious reader, without the reader searching for a link in the article text. I'd agree with you that the case for the same link in 2 captions is a bit weaker.
Good luck with the next FA article. Regards, Trafford09 ( talk) 12:11, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I was indeed wondering which article you were next improving. I've taken an initial look at it - hope you don't mind - and I like the links you've got there from the captions. I've made a couple of minor changes - trivial ones. Best of luck with your future work. Trafford09 ( talk) 22:24, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
Well, nice of you to ask me, but I'm afraid I'm no expert on making an article an FA one - I bow to your own experience! No doubt there's a FA Checklist somewhere, on what things one should check.
I'm a novice in geology and volcanoes. To my layman's eyes, the article seems a little technical (e.g. rock types & volcanic terms), even allowing for its subject matter. This is of course alleviated by many helpful links.
It'd be nice if there were a linked article to explain Assemblage (geology) - but I found none.
A repeated phrase that jarred a little with me was "xyz was erupted". Apart from volcanoes, in everyday British English usage, the verb is only intransitive. So, I'm used to something erupting, but not "being erupted".
But I saw nothing else I could improve. I didn't check the references.
Hope your efforts pay off! Trafford09 ( talk) 00:19, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. Oh - I've posed a collaborative question at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Volcanoes#Assemblage, so we may get some geological help there, and end up with something we could link into XYZ Assemblage articles. Cheers, Trafford09 ( talk) 10:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

I mentioned this on Talk:Garibaldi Volcanic Belt but I thought it would be good to mention it here as well. Later I will change this redirect to an article for a number of reasons: the Canadian Cascade Arc and Garibaldi Volcanic Belt are not necessary the same thing. The Canadian Cascade Arc is a broader and older feature, consisting of at least four subduction zone-related belts. The Chilcotin Group is a product of back-arc volcanism, the Alert Bay Volcanic Belt was formed by fore-arc volcanism, and the Garibaldi and Pemberton belts are main-arc features. Much of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt consists of intrusions (e.g. Salal Creek Pluton, Rogers Creek Pluton, Chilliwack batholith, Mount Barr Plutonic Complex), but after doing research it turns out that these intrusions are generally thought to be the roots of deeply eroded Oligocene-Miocene volcanoes. I found a geology paper that mentions the Salal Creek Pluton, stating that it is possible similar episodes of volcanic activity to that of Mount Meager occurred during the emplacement of the Salal Creek Pluton and the present level of erosion has exposed the upper level of intrusive rocks and volcanics have been eroded away. However, the Salal Creek Pluton (10 km wide) covers a much larger area than Mount Meager (4 km wide). The Salal Creek Pluton may have generated a massive volcanic dome 8 million years ago, but rapid erosion to a depth of about 1 km has exposed the underlying pluton.

I'm trying to get people who are willing to help me out with a pet project I've begun but realised that it will be extremely hard for me to even make a small dent in. First of all, I got your name from the list of active members on the wikiproject for mining articles. Please disregard this, if you're not interested.
So, here's what I'm trying to do and what you could do to help me. I noticed that there were very few articles that list mines. I've tried (to the best of my abilities) to create a sub-page that lists all of the probable articles for lists of mines that I could think of, you can review this here.
Basically, I need help. Suggestions on different lists to add, I need lists created, if the lede I've been using should be changed, I'd like community consensus on the standard layout (I've been going with listing articles like List of gold mines by country and List of mines in the United States by output. If someone would like to make templates for these articles.
Please, don't feel obligated. I came to you, and others like you because of your implied interest in mining articles. List articles are not exactly in everyone's taste. If you are completely uninterested, but think you might know someone who might be, please let them know about it. I could use all the help I can get.
Oh, and if you happen to create any new articles on mines, please add them to any of my recently created lists. Sorry for this being so wordy, have a good day and happy editing! Ncboy2010 ( talk) 22:30, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Greetings! I have been making my way around some of the earthquake articles that we have and expanding some here and there. The 1663 Charlevoix earthquake was one that you had created that was built up with the help of another editor. I came across this 1918 Canadian earthquake article that you also started. On the other coast this time, and a little more current; only a century old or so :)
Well, I did get a start on it, but thought that since it is a rather low key event (minimal damage, magnitude 7 or less, and no deaths) I should check with other folks first on whether the article should be kept. To get a feel for what others think I am going to do an AfD on it. I can only go by the guidelines that were put together as to whether it "meets the minimums" or not and want to do this to prevent getting surprised down the road. Would rather get it out of the way before expanding any more since the article is sort of right on the cusp of being notable. I just don't know if it should be merged into one of the other Vancouver Island earthquake articles or if it can stand alone. There's other earthquakes in that area that we don't have articles on yet too, so again, just want to get ideas, not necessarily get rid of it. In a few edits I have added about another paragraph or so. Please do chime in on the AfD. Dawnseeker2000 01:04, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 1918 Vancouver Island earthquake is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1918 Vancouver Island earthquake until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Dawnseeker2000 01:07, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

I would recommend going through the Good Article process before attempting FA. I had the same lack of participation with Coeur Alaska, Inc. v. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, both at WP:MINING, and at WP:SCOTUS (although I just notified the projects, didn't request feedback at peer review). Coeur failed FA, based on lack of information on some things. I thought it was good enough, but I was wrong (shows what I know about the FAC). As it is now, I think that it could pass GA fairly easy, with not a whole lot of changes, but I don't know what scope FA would look for articles about mines, the main reason I never attempted to bring one up to that level. -- kelapstick( bainuu) 01:05, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

"People from City" categories are not applied solely on the basis of where a person was born. Rather, a person can be categorized as being from any place where they lived for long enough to merit it being mentioned in the article at all — if a person lived in 10 different cities over the course of their lives, then they can go in all ten "People from City" categories and not just the one for where they were actually born. And under no circumstances does a person ever go directly in a "City" category, so if you really insist that he not be categorized as "people from" those cities, then he does not go in either Category:Greater Sudbury or Category:Timmins instead. And, in fact, you missed the even more crucial detail that O'Connor was a mayor of Sudbury during his time living there, meaning he actually belongs in Category:Mayors of Sudbury, Ontario.

Hello, Volcanoguy! When you posted your map request last year I was interested but didn’t have the time or energy to pursue it; now I’d like to help with the geological map, if I can. (Sorry, I don’t know how to make a map that’s compatible with the location templates, although that’s one of many things I want to look into some day …) Anyway, I’ve downloaded the article you linked to, but I’m not clear on exactly what you’d like done. Do you still want the satellite/air-photo background, or a plain outline/plan map? (I think the latter would be clearer WRT the geological info.) Do you want to show the principal surface-hydrographic features? (They, with the ON/PQ border, might help a reader establish the location.)

Stop moving categories out of process. I've just found a ton of "volcanism" categories that you've moved without discussion, and in many categories despite "keep" results at CFDs. It's going to take me a ton of work to restore them, and people who persist in moving categories out of process (especially those who have been around for several years and thus know better) will be blocked. Nyttend ( talk) 14:08, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Volcanoguy, I realize this is frustrating you, but slightly inaccurate categorization is by no means something to get yourself upset over! Relax a little bit, submit a CFD, and we will see what happens from there. No need to get yourself worked up over something so trivial, my friend. :) ceran thor 19:36, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Hey Volcanoguy; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Canadian Cascade Arc, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brandywine Falls ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

How comes the progress? ceran thor 15:11, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I'm planning on articles on Geology of the Pacific Ocean and Topography of the Pacific Ocean. You probably have other things to do but can you recommend some active editors who might be interested. We need some real experts to assist with these as they're very important topics. After doing we'll write condensed summaries in the main article.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Good day,
I've spent this summer surveying Lava Lake B.C. with an imaging sidescan sonar. One of the interesting discoveries was that while the lava dam extended to a depth of 80 ft below the current surface, the depth of the lake exceed 186 ft. Conclusion is that this lake was there prior to the Tseax event of the 18th cent, though the lake was certainly deepened by this event. Given that I can see a river bed at 20 ft deep in the Southern part of the lake, it would seem that the increase in depth is between 20 and 80 ft.
I hope this will be sufficient to allow you to correct the Wiki article which states the lake was formed by the eruption, as it surely was not.
Best Regards, Bill

Here is the link for the Anima Nipissing River at the Geographical Names Board of Canada (GNBoC), which gives the mouth coordinates (it's always mouth coordinates for river entries). I find the source coordinates by looking at the Atlas of Canada topographic map manually; not always obvious! One can link to a topogrpahic map of the area of the geographic entity from that entry's GNBoC page. And this is the general link to look up something at the GNBoC. -- papageno ( talk) 18:26, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

No. The source clearly gives the summit elevation of the Chaîne des Puys, i.e Puy de Dôme itself, as 1,464, not 840m. But the reliablity of 1,464 in the source is questionable seeing as every map of the area gives 1,465. (Try the Michelin map for size.) Given that, I would be suspect of any dates given by the site, but in any case, "Western Puy de Dôme" is not Puy de Dôme itself. Emeraude ( talk) 09:23, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
I accept the date of the last eruption can be contentious, as it is for any volcano that erupted before recorded history. The latest research seems to suggest 10,700 years ago. (D. Miallier, Pierre Boivin, C. Deniel, A. Gourgaud, P. Lanos, M. Sforna, Thierry Pilleyre "The ultimate summit eruption of Puy de Dôme volcano (Chaine des Puys, French Massif Central) about 10,700 years ago", Comptes Rendus Géosciences 342 (2010) 847-854) I suggest that's a reliable and up-to-date source that ought to be used.
However, when I say that Puy de Dôme has an elevation of 1,465m asl I am right, the GVP source is wrong and so are you if you use it! Your figure of 484 is pure fantasy! Are you denying that Puy de Dôme is the highest point of the Chaîne des Puys? Have you taken the very simple step of looking at a map to check? You might also check the following:

I've submitted a request on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files to fix the attribution on this picture of Dragon Cliffs that you uploaded. I'm the photographer of the image, and the Flickr source from which you got it isn't the original source. Someone else put it on Flickr, not me. If the attribution can be fixed, it can stay with a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-commercial license (i.e. the Non-Commercial part needs to be added). Only archives of my original page exist, such as [5], but you can read the original, pre-Creative-Commons terms at the bottom, dating from way back in 1996. If you could help fix this, it would be appreciated. 140.184.130.215 ( talk) 21:59, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
