Hi Cptpierce. I noticed this edit to Minoan eruption. I think the article needs to be renamed, but the problem is that many academic peer-reviewed references use Minoan eruption to refer to the Santorini eruption that devastated the Minoan civilization. You added the name Cycladic eruption. If this is a good name, please provide references for it, then we need to rename the whole article. I'm hoping you can help out.
