Talk:Anahim hotspot

GA class within reach?
I'm not much of a rating guy, but can anybody with more background comment on whether Good article status is within reach for this article? What would need to be added/fixed to make it a good candidate? Black Tusk 01:34, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

For an FA...
This article really doesn't need much for either FA or GA:


 * References


 * One or two images

Really a good article.  Meldshal42 Hit me What I've Done 20:35, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Featured article need more than pictures: they need to be comprehensive and well written. Here are some samples:  Mount St. Helens, Mauna Loa, Yosemite National Park, and Geology of the Lassen volcanic area.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 06:35, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There are very significant differences between GA and FA. GA requires that coverage of the subject is broad, whereas FA requires it to be comprehensive. GA requires the prose to be comprehensible, no major grammar or spelling mistakes, and consistent with the major points of the Manual of Style. FA requires the prose to be of a professional standard and to conform fully with the MoS. A lot of work remains to be done before this article would make a plausible FA candidate IMO. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 15:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It's possible to add more infomation and photos of course, but I can't see this article reaching FA anytime soon. An earthquake map would be useful for the seismology section. Black Tusk (talk) 17:29, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, this was more towards becoming a GA. -- Meldshal42  (talk)  13:25, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

GAC
I think I'm going to nominate this article for GA status. Its really quite good. ~ Meldshal42 Hit me What I've Done 20:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Could someone please review the article? ~ Me ldshal  42  17:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

No on WP:Earthquakes
We are not going to go around and add WP:Earthquakes to all articles that we have that are known "earthquake zones". That would literally mean adding hundreds of articles under the WP:Earthquakes umbrella. I don't think we want that. WP:Geology and WP:Vocanoes are fine for this one. Dawnseeker2000


 * You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. You say "we're not interested". Who is not interested? If you are not interested then I suggest you leave the project. I have been a member of WP:Earthquakes since it's foundation. "We're not going to add all the other articles that we have on earthquake zones to WP:Earthquakes, are we"? As of fact we already have from the start. Take a look through Category:Seismic zones. Is the Anahim hotspot a notable seismic zone? Yes and the number of reliable sources confirms this.  Volcano guy  23:37, 14 May 2016 (UTC)


 * VolcanoGuy, I'm not deliberately trying to step on your toes, so please retract that statement. What defines an earthquake zone? If this is one, why are there hundreds of other articles on valleys, basins, trenches, ranges, etc. that are not under the WP:Earthquakes umbrella?. I would say that is because no one sees the necessity to classify them that way or because they have seen that that is a good classification method but haven't wanted to engage in the tagging work.


 * I say, no. It's not that the best way to classify geological regions and let's not include ares that have earthquakes in the project. For this article, there are better, more applicable projects that make more sense. WP:Geology is the parent and WP:Volcanoes is more applicable. If the 2007–2008 Nazko earthquakes swarm of sub 4.0 events were tectonic, then maybe, but using this as a model for inclusion into WP:Earthquakes would mean, for uniformity, we'd have to include probably hundreds of other geological features or regions into the WikiProject. WP:Earthquakes really isn't necessary on this one, nor is it necessary on Basin and Range Province or Puget Sound or Imperial Valley. Let's keep it as simple and uniform as possible.


 * I'm serious, I may come off a little abrasive at times, but there's no malice here. Not trying to step on your toes, and I hope you still don't hold this against me. Dawnseeker2000  00:00, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
 * According to the United States Geological Survey, a seismic zone is:
 * 1. A region on a map in which a common level of seismic design is required. This concept is obsolete.
 * 2. An area of seismicity probably sharing a common cause. Example: "The New Madrid Seismic Zone."
 * 3. A region on a map for which a common areal rate of seismicity is assumed for the purpose of calculating probabilistic ground motions.
 * The Anahim hotspot clearly falls under definition #2 because its seismicity is related to the movement of magma. The hundreds of articles on valleys, basins, trenches, ranges, etc. are not included because most of them do not have content about earthquakes. Articles about faults are within the scope of WP Earthquakes because faults are sources of earthquakes just as hotspots are sources of volcano tectonic earthquakes. Therefore I do not see a good reason why hotspot articles should not be included. Volcanoguy 14:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Whatever you think is best. My only intention a couple of years ago (as I'm sure you probably saw) was to unify how we apply the Wikiproject hierarchy. It's fine if there are exceptions to the changes that were made in 2016. Dawnseeker2000  22:30, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
