Putana (volcano)

 * ... that a plume of gas rises from fumaroles on Putana (pictured) volcano? Source: Persistently active degassing from the Putana summit has produced a 100-m- to 500-m-high plume since the 19th century
 * ALT1 ... that the volcano Putana is one of the highest places where motor vehicles have been used? Source: Rudolph, William E. (1952). "Sulphur in Chile". Geographical Review. 42 (4): 562–590. doi:10.2307/211839.
 * Reviewed: Sovan Chatterjee
 * Comment: The "highest place where motor vehicles were used" may also make a good hook, but I can't find any other discussion of this assertion

5x expanded by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Self-nominated at 15:50, 11 June 2017 (UTC).

There seems to be an error with DYKCheck so I can't check expansion at the moment: it says the prose size is "0 characters (0 words)". In addition, the article is currently classified as a stub. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:36, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, that counter is bugged at the moment. At WP:DYK there should be other counters however. I dunno why it is marked as "stub" there but it certainly isn't correct. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:41, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I think it's almost ready, I would pass it right now (I manually had to check using online word counters, but it appears that the article got far more thana 5x expansion), but I think you could add an additional hook about the volcano being "one of the highest places where motor vehicles are used".

 * The source is relatively old and this seems like the sort of record that could have been outdone later. So I was not confident that it was suited for a hook. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:50, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * In any case, I've added it anyway as a second hook due to it being quite interesting; it's up to the promoter which hook will be used. Otherwise, this is a pass as there are no other problems in the article (writing, sourcing, QPQ). Symbol confirmed.svg Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:45, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * By the way, the article is currently classified (not tagged) as a stub. Please edit the talk page and reclassify the article as Start-class. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:29, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
