I will be reviewing this.  ceran  thor 17:02, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Lead
 * "Antofalla itself is a remote volcano, close to the town of Antofalla, Catamarca." - these are contradictory, no?
 * "It is part of the volcanic segment of the Andes in Argentina" - I would link to the Andean Volcanic Belt and the Andes itself here
 * "Antofalla volcano is located in a region with basins-and-ranges-like topography" - this is probably unclear to a lay reader... suggest rewriting for clarity
 * Fixed these things. I left "basin-and-range" in since the literal meaning is close enough there. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Name
 * "The name may be derived from anta, anti, antu, which mean "metal" (especially "copper") in the indigenous language Quechua.[3] " - "means", not "mean"
 * Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Geography and structure
 * "Antofalla is part of the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, which runs along the border between Argentina and Chile[1] and whose main expression occurs in the Western Cordillera.[11] " - don't think "whose" is correct here
 * If there's no data available for Cerro Bajo-Cerro Onas, you should clarify that or potentially leave it out
 * "These volcanic centres overlap with each other,[25] are all much smaller than the main Antofalla volcano and little eroded" - "little eroded" reads awkwardly; maybe rewrite this sentence
 * "Cerro Onas is constructed by an ignimbrite and ignimbrites occur elsewhere in the complex[27] including a recent one in the Quebrada de las Cuevas area,[28] and between Cerro de la Aguada and Cerro Cajeros lies the Cerro la Botijuela obsidian dome.[27]" - run-on; rewrite for clarity and split into two sentences
 * I thought that "whose" was correct; what would be another term? Regarding Bajo-Onas, the source is an incomplete map which does not give labels for this peak beyond their name. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Geology
 * "Volcanism does not occur along the entire length of the subduction zone; north of 15° and south of 28° a flatter subduction is associated with the absence of volcanic activity.[11] " - "a flatter subduction" - what does this mean? If you're indicating that the angles of decline/incline are different, you should be more explicit in what makes the difference I think
 * "A further volcanic zone, the Austral Volcanic Zone, is caused by the subduction of the Antarctic Plate beneath the South America Plate.[12]" - might be worth indicating its location as opposed to the other zones, rather than just saying "a further ... zone"
 * "The whole region is tectonically controlled by various lineaments which direct the ascent of magma and the location of basins" - "tectonically controlled"?
 * "some of these lineaments exist since the Precambrian" - grammar
 * Don't like the bulleted segment under composition. That should be converted into prose.
 * Mostly done; some of the lineaments are still active so using present tense is warranted, and I don't think that one can easily force the bulleted list into prose form; it's better in list form as it's four distinct occurrences. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Eruptive history
 * Worth it to explain what mafic and felsic mean to a lay reader.
 * Added two explanatory notes. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Climbing
 * Any more info on this? This section is bare.
 * The only source I know of for such a thing is John Biggar, which may have WP:SPS problems. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

More comments on references and images to follow once these are addressed.  ceran  thor 15:48, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Responded to a couple of points and actioned others. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Fine. More reference comments below.  ceran  thor 23:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * References
 * For ref 5, " Moreno 2012, p. 104,105.", why not just make it pp. 104 to 105? Same with refs 50, 56, 57, and 66?
 * Ref 17 needs an access date
 * for consistency, any references with all caps should be changed so that they match the others
 * same with the sources that are all caps as the above note
 * why are certain refs with more than three authors listed as et al. but others have all the authors listed?
 * why are certain journal articles given individual page references but in other cases you cite the entire journal article as one source?
 * for ref 65, surely you don't mean to give a range from p. 938–938?
 * Seem reliable and comprehensive
 * Copyvio tool checks out

Good work. I can pass this once these are addressed!  ceran  thor 23:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * All done, but the GVP template does not seem to accept access dates. The number of authors displayed thing seems to be an sfn problem. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:37, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I think they become et al. once you reach four authors or more. Nonetheless, my other concerns have been addressed, so I will go ahead and pass this. Nice work.  ceran  thor 22:33, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
