Talk:Sierra Negra

It would be good for somebody to research mountain heights for Mexico's mountains. They go up and down quite a bit between measurements. Sources as authoritative as the Encyclopedia Brittanica, the INEGI (Mexican National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics, as I remember), mountaineering clubs, National Geographic, and others give rather different numbers at times.

I had a table of height differences once. It might be good to have a special page on the topic. --Lavintzin 01:44, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Height and names
I have undone some edits by 156.3.62.9, even though they may have been good-faith edits. (This user has apparently been banned for repeated edits judged unconstructive.)

Two Nahuatl names for the mountain were given, which are actually somewhat controversial, and a Spanish name was removed (it also is somewhat controversial.) Unsourced altitude figures (quite possibly correct, actually) were substituted for the ones in the text, and the mountain was fixed as the fifth highest in Mexico (which is very likely correct). Anyway, it would be good to nail the altitude and ranking down, but not have it inserted unsourced. I may do something one of these days about the Nahuatl names. --Lavintzin, 8 December 2008


 * User 76.169.244.72 (who has done nothing else so far) reinstated the language previously inserted by 156.3.62.9, again deleting other stuff. I've put it back more or less as it was. I did insert some discussion of the Nahuatl names. I’d rather not get into an edit war with 156.3.62.9/76.169.244.72, but I don’t think his/her edits are the best way to deal with this. --Lavintzin (talk) 15:45, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Is Sierra Negra Extinct?
This link states that Sierra Negra erupted in 2018: https://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=353050 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.60.214 (talk) 19:38, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
