Talk:Broken Top

Some comments on the article
Ceranthor asked for commentary on the article on the talk page, so I shall give; partial review only since it's the holidays:
 * The article says that the mountain is 9,177 feet high, but this source says it's 9,175 and the source in the article approximates it at 2,800 metres. I know that the height of mountains is not generally an exact thing.
 * Do you want me to add a footnote clarifying disagreement on the exact elevation? Unsure what you're suggesting.


 * Might be perhaps a personal preference, but wildfires aren't exactly uncommon and giving recent ones such detailed description may be a little undue.
 * It's only three sentences; is that really too detailed?


 * I think the convert template could be told to not convert km3 into such exact measures of mi3.
 * Will fix that.


 * The Tumalo paragraph does cite a source which does not mention Vesuvius, which is still mentioned in the paragraph.
 * Will fix that.

 * On the positive aspects, it seems the article has sound prose (although I have never been very good at it, so take with a pinch of salt).
 * Replied to your initial comments.  ceran  thor 19:51, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The ones that I said I'd fix have been addressed, I think.  ceran  thor 19:57, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Realized I hadn't pinged you; sorry for that.  ceran  thor 22:15, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I am not certain what to do about the elevation information. When I write on Andean volcanoes I often see several different heights and no clue as to which is more reliable - thus I write it out as "X or Y high". USAmerican volcanoes are usually much better documented so there may be a source that carries more weight than others, but I wouldn't know.

 * Ah, I see your point. I think that Hildreth, coming from the United States Geological Survey, would be more reliable than a website, which AFAIK I avoid because it doesn't seem like a totally reliable source. That being said, I can definitely add a footnote to clarify that there is some disagreement about the elevation.  ceran  thor 22:30, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
