Blairmorite
Hello Volcanoguy. I don't have an image of blairmorite, but I know someone who does. I'll contact him and ask if he would contribute it. Georgialh (talk) 01:54, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * thanks. Are you aware of information regarding the source/origin of volcanism that created the Crowsnest Formation?  Volcano guy  02:14, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Reply
I haven't been able to find much in the literature about the petrogenesis of the Crowsnest Volcanics (CNV), which really surprises me, given that the mineralogy is so unusual and volcanic rocks are so rare in Alberta. The Bowerman article was the one of the best ones that I found.

I was one of the co-authors on a short article re the CNV for CSPG Reservoir (I don't know if it's appeared yet; I've been in the field all summer and have been pretty much out of touch). Here's an excerpt: "The Crowsnest Volcanics were laid down in a series of eruptions during Albian time. Radiometric dates range from about 93 to 101 Ma . Goble et al. (1999) concluded that alkaline intrusive rocks at Commerce Peak to the south near the Flathead River may have been associated with the Crowsnest eruptions, and Amajor (1985) concluded that the Crowsnest eruptions and/or vents close to them were probably the source of bentonites in the Viking Formation (subsequent radiometric dating shows a compatible date of 100 Ma for these regional marker beds). Palinspastic reconstructions indicate that the eruptions probably occurred in what is now the Cranbrook area.  It's estimated that the volcanics originally covered an area of about 1800 km2 and their volume exceeded 209 km3.  By comparison the damage area of the 1980 Mount St Helens blast was 600 km2."

I'd like to get down to check out the Commerce Mountain outcrops some time, but it's a bit remote with access via sometimes-active logging roads. Maybe next spring.Georgialh (talk) 03:53, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * by the way, I have created an article for blairmorite. I am not sure if you are aware but I also started the Northern Alberta kimberlite province, Birch Mountains kimberlite field, Buffalo Head Hills kimberlite field and Mountain Lake cluster articles. Lately I have been working on British Columbia's Itcha Range.  Volcano guy  05:15, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * it is also worthy to note I could not find much information about the origin(s) of the Northern Alberta kimberlites either. Perhaps volcanic rocks in Alberta have not been studied much because of their rarity?  Volcano guy  10:24, 8 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, Alberta is indeed impoverished when it comes to volcanics. There's the CNV, the kimberlites, and maybe we can count the Purcell Sill. Other than that, there are beds of volcanic ash ranging in age from Early Cretaceous to Quaternary (e.g., the Mazama ash), but that's about it. You would think that the rarity would inspire Alberta's geology students to be fighting for the privilege of working on them, but I suspect that there's no funding for such things.


 * As for blairmorite, I'm told that igneous rocks are supposed to be named for their minerals rather than for places, so blairmorite should properly be called analcimite. I haven't checked into that, though. And when asking around about the CNV I triggered a small dispute as to whether there are any actual "trachytic flows" in the CNV, or whether it's all pyroclastics. The question remains unresolved.


 * I'll see what I can dig up on the Alberta kimberlites.  Georgialh (talk) 03:06, 9 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Re the ash beds: there are articles for the Mazama Ash and Bridge River Ash. The Winagami sill complex also has an article.


 * I remember reading igneous rocks are supposed to be named for their minerals but is that an official policy? Are there any disputes over that policy? The name blairmorite for an analcime-rich volcanic rock goes back to the early 1900s. Also, kimberlite is named after the town of Kimberley in South Africa.  Volcano guy  05:39, 9 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Now that I think about it, that can't be an official policy. There are too many igneous rock names to use mineralogy alone. Johannsen (1933) lists more than 1,200 names. I'll put his definition of blairmorite up on the blairmorite page. He says it was named by someone named Knight, and to see Johannsen vol IV, p. 256-260 for a full description, but I only have a partial photocopy of his Appendix III: Definitions of Rocks. I'll try to get to the Univ library one of these days and look it up.


 * Most igneous rocks have been named for places where they occur, like syenite (Syene, Egypt). Charnockite is named for the tomb of Job Charnock. So blairmorite should be legit, even though someone did take me to task for using it a while ago. Georgialh (talk) 03:28, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * another problem naming igneous rocks for their minerals is that most igneous rocks do not have their own unique minerals.  Volcano guy  05:53, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Hydrothermal vents
Hey Volcanoguy. The reason for removing the "parenthesis" was purely out of simplification and I did not feel that this was an issue. Adding parenthesis is an act of noting the subtle differences on disambiguation pages or qualifying articles based on existing and/or competitive subdivisions. Removing the parenthesis from the article does not make it less a common name, whereas the short format Magic Mountain or Lost City does show ambiguousness: the name change just removes the ambiguity created by the Wikipedia markup. As much as it is common to use parenthesis to qualify on disambiguation pages, it is not necessarily needed on article pages. The original article already used "Hydrothermal Vent" in its title, I just removed extraneous text. Any search for "Magic Mountain" would have returned a disambiguation page showing the obvious links, and any search for Magic Mountain Hydrothermal Vent, would go directly there without the parenthesis. If you feel that it is overstepping, I invite you to revert, I will not insist (I'm not a purest). Thanks. ruben jc ZEORYMER  (talk) 14:48, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * there is a difference between "Magic Mountain" and "Magic Mountain Hydrothermal Field". What I am trying to say is that it is more commonly referred to as just "Magic Mountain", not "Magic Mountain Hydrothermal Field". "Magic Mountain" is a disambiguation page and the Magic Mountain field is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC so that is why "(hydrothermal field)" was added in the title.  Volcano guy  15:03, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Your right in addressing that there is a difference between "Magic Mountain" and "Magic Mountain Hydrothermal Field", but not in the way you stated. Regardless, as I stated, this is not an issue. As they say "be bold". I invite you to revert those changes. ruben jc ZEORYMER  (talk) 15:31, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Scientific notation
Hi, you left a plea for help at the Math Wikiproject page which should have been directed to the Reference desk/Mathematics since it didn't really involve the math articles. But to answer your question - you are dealing with Scientific notation, very common in the physical sciences and engineering. For your specific example, ~10-4 km3yr-1, the twiddle (~) means approximately, 10-4 = 0.0001 (see the article), and km3yr-1 gives the units which in this case are cubic kilometers per year (it is a rate of flow, so expressed as a volume per some time period). I haven't seen the -1 exponent used in a units expression very often, but that is a stylistic convention. I would have expected to see it written as km3/yr. I hope this helps. Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 04:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm just a bit puzzled since I am not used to seeing things like that. You can find the paragraph I quoted here on pages 1284 and 1285. It says "the eruption rate increased markedly (e.g., ~10–4 km3 yr–1) when volcanism began at Level Mountain at 15 Ma." Okay. After that it states "when Mount Edziza began to erupt (ca. 7 Ma), rates of magmatism for the northern Cordilleran volcanic province increased to ~3 × 10–4 km3 yr–1." I'm guessing this is a greater measurement since they say the magmatism rate increased. But how much of a difference is that to ~10–4 km3 yr–1? Then after that it says the "rates of magmatism have remained relatively constant at 10–4 km3 yr–1", which is similar to what is given for when volcanism began at Level Mountain. I say similar because they don't give the twiddle (~) for that rate. Then it says "current rates of magmatism for the northern Cordilleran volcanic province are much less than those estimated for Hawaii (10–1–10–3 km3 yr–1; Shaw, 1987) or the Cascade volcanic arc (0.2–6 km3 yr–1; Sherrod and Smith, 1990)." How much of a difference are the Hawaii and Cascade Arc magmatism rates to the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province rates of 10–4 km3 yr–1 and ~3 × 10–4 km3 yr–1?  Volcano guy  05:28, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

After Edziza erupted the flow rate increased to 0.0003 km3/yr (300% of what it was before). The Hawaii estimate is given as a range from 0.1 to 0.001 km3/yr (are you sure you copied that correctly? Ranges are usually given from smaller to larger values, and this isn't) and the Cascade arc ranges from 0.2 to 6.0 km3/yr. The Hawaii values range from 1000 to 10 times those of Cordilleran, while the Cascade values are 2000 to 60,000 times as large. All these values are approximate estimates, so I wouldn't put much store in the fact that some of them are reported without the twiddle. Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 18:35, 10 January 2015 (UTC)


 * sorry for the long response time; I have been busy collecting information to rewrite the Level Mountain article. Yes the Hawaiian values were copied correctly, don't know why the range is given from larger to smaller values.  Volcano guy  08:53, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Category:Mountains under 1000 metres
Hi Volcanoguy, I see you reverted again my attempt to clarify this category (which I created a while back) with a lower limit. So where do you see the lower height limit for a mountain? 900 m? 500 m? 300 m? 100 m? 10 m? 1 m? Clearly the lower we set it the more 'bumps' get included. But IMHO we should try and base it on some standard in the English-speaking world. The US doesn't have one, Britain and Ireland do. I'm not sure about Canada, Australia or South Africa, etc. Alternatively, if we can't agree where the limit is, confusion will reign and we may as well delete it. Thoughts? --Bermicourt (talk) 07:37, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * That is the point there is no universally accepted definition of a mountain. The UK and Ireland may have a definition for what a mountain is in their country but that definition is not the same worldwide. So you have landforms below 600 metres outside of Ireland and the UK called mountains as well. I don't know what the problem is to just include landforms that are called mountains. I am keeping a WP:NPOV view here as the category should be used fairly without bias.  Volcano guy  08:20, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The point which the text acknowledged clearly. And since there is no universal definition, there can be no such thing as a NPOV - wherever we decide the lower cutoff is will be our POV. In my case, I have based it on the only official definition I can find, backed up by a Dictionary of Geography source; you've just fixed it at 1 m, since no cutoff means anything counts. So several hills were included in the category that even failed the old US definition of a mountain being 1,000 feet and others were part of "Foo Hills", so clearly not considered mountains either. There's not much point having a category if people can't see what's "in" and what's "out" of it. --Bermicourt (talk) 20:36, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I am still in disagreement with you. If a geographic feature is known as a mountain it's a mountain, simple as that. As a result such things belong in mountain categories, including Category:Mountains under 1000 metres. You are defining what a mountain is based on an Ireland/UK definition, which is a bit on the POV side since you are not representing a worldwide view on the issue. If there is no universal definition for something you are not supposed to use a definition that is only for two countries in Europe. To tell you the truth there are geographic features called hills that have elevations greater than 600 metres as well. What are you going to do there?  Volcano guy  14:21, 15 July 2015 (UTC)


 * If a mountain is known "by whom" as a mountain? Is the Teckberg a mountain? The Täfelberg? The Wilseder Berg? And having listened to your argument, I've moved on from using the UK/Irish definition guideline universally and changed the guideline to absolutely reflect a worldwide view - inviting other editors to suggest refinements. Of course, you will always get the occasional hill called "Foo Mountain" and occasional mountain called "Foo Hill" but then a Bombay Duck is not a duck... --Bermicourt (talk) 14:37, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry I should have said that I also replied to your comments on the talk page of the category - you may not have seen my latest form of words which are genuinely trying to be inclusive of different national perspectives. Bermicourt (talk) 14:41, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Region_code editing with AWB
Thank you so much for stepping in and finishing the task! I can only do about 300 at a sitting, and then my eyes go cross. (Perhaps you did a smarter thing -- you're only doing the replacement, while I turned on genfixes).

Looks like we'll be done very soon! Congratulations!

I'll soon be taking a wikibreak for the end of the year, so in case you finish and I'm not around:
 * 1) User:Hike395/MtnComboBox should be ready to go.
 * 2) Copy User:Hike395/MtnComboBox to Template:Infobox mountain/sandbox and check out Template:Infobox mountain/testcases for any errors
 * 3) Copy User:Hike395/MtnComboBox to Template:Infobox mountain range/sandbox and check out Template:Infobox mountain range/testcases
 * 4) If everything looks ok, replace the contents of Template:Infobox mountain up until the with  User:Hike395/MtnComboBox. This requires template-editor rights or higher -- if you don't have that, glue the stuff after the MtnComboBox code, and do an edit request at Template talk:Infobox mountain
 * 5) Then, turn Template:Infobox mountain range into a redirect to Template:Infobox mountain
 * 6) Done, drink a Molson! :-)

Thanks again for finishing this! —hike395 (talk) 02:41, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem. I copy and pasted MtnComboBox to both mountain and mountain range sandboxes but I am having trouble replacing the contents of Template:Infobox mountain.  Volcano guy  03:05, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think that's because you're not a template-editor. But I am! Let me do steps 4 and 5, and then we'll be done and we can both have a Molson!! —hike395 (talk) 03:35, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ Woo hoo! Let me know if you see any problems. —hike395 (talk) 03:55, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I updated Level Mountain this month if you need an example of a massif.  Volcano guy  05:09, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Anahim Volcanic Belt
Hello Volcanoguy, see my answer and question here. Sémhur 19:49, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

My apologies
For my mistake on the Nazko earthquake article. I got mixed up and marked the wrong reference. If you take a look at reference number seven here 2007–2008 Nazko earthquakes it goes to this 404 message. So I don't mess thing up any further could you take a look and see if you can fix it or at least apply a "dead link" tag. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 20:11, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I added the "dead link" tag to the proper reference as I don't have time to try and fix it right now.  Volcano guy  20:13, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks V. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 23:15, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Warden Peak and other Vancouver island volcanos
Back in 2008, you created the article Warden Peak as well as other articles of Vancouver island mountains. An IP just removed statements that the peak (as well as other Vancouver Island mountains) was a volcanic plug. I checked the reference and did not see any mention of volcanic origin. Just an FYI. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 06:47, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I just reverted the IP's edits to Haddington Island and Twin Peaks. As far as I am aware of their claim that there are no volcanoes on Vancouver Island is false. According to reliable sources Twin Peaks and Haddington Island are part of the Alert Bay Volcanic Belt, which formed as a result of volcanism along the Cascadia subduction zone.

Mountains and volcanoes in Canada
Hi Volcanoguy, I know this is very much your specialist area, so whilst I made comments earlier (forgot to log in so it was just a pair of IP edits) on the garibaldi range talk page, perhaps I should clarify it and ask you, whether anything needs doing, or if I've just got the wrong end of the stick :) I saw a video of a landslide on Mount Currie that someone said was actually associated with the 'pemberton caldera' which attracted my attention as I wanted to debunk their assertion that this might be an upcoming mass wastage eruption trigger. So a quick wikipedia search led me to the following articles

Mount Currie (British Columbia), Pemberton Volcanic Belt, Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, Coast Mountains, Garibaldi Ranges,Pacific Ranges and a few hot spring articles including Boulder Creek (Lillooet River) which seems likely connected to the same Pemberton volcanic belt

Now the Mount Currie article says it is the northernmost of the Garibaldi range, but that article doesn't mention Mount Currie, nor does the Garibaldi ranges article mention the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt - which seems like an ommission - but perhaps they just have similar names and are adjacent I've misunderstood? A few of the other articles look like they could have blue links added that point to the volcanic article. I'm tempted to just start on that but I don't want to accidentally step on your toes there at all EdwardLane (talk) 21:50, 5 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm not really understanding what you're trying to tell me. All the articles you linked are for different features. The Garibaldi Ranges and the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt have similar names but they're both different geologically. There are some volcanoes in the Garibaldi Ranges that are part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt (e.g. Mount Garibaldi, Mount Price, The Black Tusk) but the Garibaldi Ranges are mostly made of older uplifted non-volcanic rocks. This also goes for the Pacific Ranges and Coast Mountains. It's the same thing with the Andes and the Andean Volcanic Belt; a geological feature overlapping with a geographical feature.


 * As far as I know Mount Currie is not volcanic and I have never heard of the "pemberton caldera", nor do I know of a caldera near Pemberton. The Garibaldi and Pemberton belts are two different but related features, although their northern limits overlap each other. The Boulder Creek article clearly states the hot springs are related to volcanism of the Mount Meager massif, which is part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt. I hope I cleared some things up for you. See the Canadian Cascade Arc article for more.  Volcano guy  03:11, 6 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks - that clarified the picture in my head somewhat - I feel the garibaldi range article (along with most articles about mountains) could probably do with a paragraph saying something much like this block quote from the cascade volcanoes article) "Although taking its name from the Cascade Range, this term is a geologic grouping rather than a geographic one, and the Cascade Volcanoes extend north into the Coast Mountains, past the Fraser River which is the northward limit of the Cascade Range proper."


 * Which serves to link the geography to the underlying geology - perhaps (in this case) something along the lines of 'the Garibaldi Ranges, and the overlapping Garibaldi Volcanic Belt both take their names from the volcano Mount Garibaldi, but the Garibaldi Ranges are mostly made of older uplifted non-volcanic rocks, ......  and then I don't know enough to finish that paragraph -   are all the volcanics from the volcanic belt inside the geographically described garibaldi range, presumably the belt is caused by back arc volcanism so they mostly run parallel and to the east of the subducted/uplifted rocks? - or do they extend outside that area? hope that makes sense - I get mightily confused when trying to look at a mountain and finding that there is no detail about the geology, unless I hunt around a bunch of other articles nearby. EdwardLane (talk) 13:30, 16 September 2016 (UTC)


 * No, the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt has a greater extent than the Garibaldi Ranges. Compare File:Vancouver Island-relief GaribaldiRanges.png red outline with File:Garibaldi Volcanic Belt-en.svg. You will see the "Mount Garibaldi area" is the only portion of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt inside the geographical boundaries of the Garibaldi Ranges. The Garibaldi Belt itself is a volcanic arc; back-arc volcanism is represented by the Chilcotin Group.  Volcano guy  16:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Dike swarm
Hi! You created this article years ago, and I wanted to confirm that a correction I just made is right. I think when you wrote "Madalena Radial Dike Swarm (southeastern Wyoming)", you really meant "Magdalena radial dike swarm (central New Mexico)". "Madalena" really puzzled me for a while, as there seemed to be nothing I could find with that name in Wyoming. Could you confirm that the Magdalena dike swarm was really the one you meant? Thanks for checking. — Gorthian (talk) 21:38, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. To be honest I can't remember. When I created the dike swarm article I just did a quick Google search for "dike swarm" and "dyke swarm" then added the ones I found in the examples section.  Volcano guy  00:31, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's fair. I think my correction (also based on a Google search) can stand, then. Thanks! — Gorthian (talk) 00:41, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
Hi, WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile!

Bell-Irving volcanic district
Heya. Not sure how active you are these days, but I remember you wrote a bunch of stuff about British Columbia volcanism and are obviously way more knowledgeable than me on the topic. Well, I was writing a page for the Bell-Irving River, a tributary of the Nass River, and in researching I came across this article: Overview of the volcanology of the Bell-Irving volcanic district, northwestern Bowser Basin, British Columbia: new examples of mafic alpine glaciovolcanism from the northern Cordilleran volcanic province, and thought of you. Apparently this volcanic district was only discovered and researched recently, mainly 2002-2004 I think.

Anyway, I mentioned it briefly in my river article but thought I'd pass it on to you, in case you don't already know about it. The topic is mostly way over my head, but cool. Cheers. Pfly (talk) 04:24, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. I had forgotten about this until I came across the Bell-Irving volcanoes in a book recently while searching for information to rewrite the Hoodoo Mountain article. There should be more than enough information to warrant the Bell-Irving volcanic district an article. Hope you are doing well, I don't see you on Wikipedia much anymore. Volcanoguy 04:58, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Heh, I had forgotten about it too. It's true my Wikipedia work dropped off quite dramatically some years ago, but I am doing well! Now and then I get the bug and do a flurry of edits and stuff, but it rarely lasts long and has mostly been about early contact-era PNW maritime history and less about geography where we might cross paths more. Nonetheless I have a long list of things to do here, articles to make, etc, and will likely be around for a long time, if less actively than I once was. In any case, I hope you are doing well too. Nice to say hi. Sounds like the border may open soon. I hadn't been to BC for too long even before Covid and there's a million places I want to visit. I'll try not to be part of the inevitable wave of American tourists overwhelming BC after the border opens. Here in Seattle we're already overwhelmed by tourists from all over the US. For some reason it seems everyone is eager to get out and travel right now, lol. Brace yourselves. Pfly (talk) 02:19, 24 July 2021 (UTC)


 * You've become less active and I've become more active lol. What a strange coincidence. Wikipedia has been keeping me busy this year, having made over 6,000 edits thus far. I'm still working on stuff about British Columbia volcanism. Level Mountain was brought up to FA class this month and I'm hoping to do the same for Mount Price and Hoodoo Mountain. I also started an article for the Bell-Irving volcanic district after remembering when you brought it up here on my talk page. Do you plan on becoming more active again? It seems that lots of users I worked with in the past have either left Wikipedia or their activity level has dropped off dramatically. Volcanoguy 04:42, 24 July 2021 (UTC)


 * That's awesome that you're doing so much. I looked at some of the articles you've been working on, high quality stuff. I was never able to do all the work required to reach FA, at least not on my own—I helped with Columbia River and got to see how the process works from the inside. On my own, I got Maritime fur trade up to "good", and that was itself a lot of work. In fact, it kinda burnt me out for a while. I'm much better at starting articles lol. I have a long list of redlinks that I plan to make pages for. I seem to be an expert procrastinator and have acquired several other time-consuming "hobbies" lately, but I do want to do more to improve Wikipedia. After all, this place is even more important now as a way for people to get information than it was ten years ago, and there is still a ton of stuff that ought to be better. And it is still the only major website free from corporate, commercial control. The community's freely-given, democratic, collaborative, consensus-based, good faith assumed approach is like the early 90s dream of what the Internet could be. It's pretty amazing that it works and has stayed true to its principles. ...damn, you've made me want to get more active. I think I'll go look at those redlinks... :-) Pfly (talk) 22:21, 24 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm generally not this active; the average number of edits I make per year is about 1,000. My lowest edit count was 333 when I became a Wikipedia user in 2006. Yes I have written many GAs as well. If I remember correctly, I started writing GAs first then FAs afterwards for more of a challenge lol. Writing GAs and FAs burn me out for a while as well. In fact, Level Mountain was the first article I brought to FA since 2010. By the way, you do not have to ping me on my own talk page; I receive notifications automatically when a user comments here. :-) Volcanoguy 17:32, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia-integrated academic journal
Hi,

I'm messaging to ask whether you might be interested in being an editor for the WikiJournal of Science (www.WikiJSci.org)? It's a journal modelled on the successful Wikipedia-integrated medical journal (www.WikiJMed.org). The editorial board is covers a range of fields and expertise.

It couples the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the encyclopedia. It is therefore an excellent way to achieve public engagement, outreach and impact public understanding of science (articles often get >100,000 views per year).

Peer-reviewed articles are dual-published both as standard academic PDFs, as well as directly into Wikipedia. This improves the scientific accuracy of the encyclopedia, and rewards academics with citable, indexed publications. It also provides much greater reach than is normally achieved through traditional scholarly publishing.

Based on my experiences, time commitment is pretty flexible. An editor would generally devote 2-10 hours per month to inviting suitable submissions and organise their external peer review:
 * Identify fully missing Wikipedia topics and invite academics to write broad review articles on them (e.g. this)
 * Identify important, but poorly covered topics and invite experts to update or overhaul them (e.g. this)
 * Invite authors of good Wikipedia pages to put their articles through external peer review (like this)
 * Possibly implement some figure or gallery review articles (e.g this and this)

Hopefully it will help to get experts, academics and professionals to contribute content to the encyclopedia via a more familiar and cv-rewarding academic journal format.

Anyway, let me know if it's the sort of thing that might interest you. PS. A relevant article in Science.

Duluth Complex
Hello Volcanoguy. Thanks for the refinement of categories-- they are not something to which I pay much attention.

A question: I have often seen the North Shore Volcanics dealt with together with the Duluth Complex, likely because of their temporal and geographic proximity. And North Shore Volcanic Group redirects to Duluth Complex. I hope the text is sufficiently clear, but suggestions and edits would be welcome. Regards, Kablammo (talk) 14:37, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I just realized who you are-- Hello again! It's been a while since our paths crossed.  Kablammo (talk) 14:44, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * maybe the volcanic categories can be placed in the North Shore Volcanic Group redirect? <i style="color: red;">Volcano</i><i style="color: black;">guy</i> 14:47, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I suspect the Category folks would not like that, but I don't know. As I mentioned above, I don't do much there-- it seems that there are way too many categories. Kablammo (talk) 03:13, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

James King seamount
Hi. I am currently working on an article about James C. King. I found out that James King seamount is named after him. I was wondering if there is anything about this seamount on enwiki, or some other wikipedia. There are some refs about it like this, and that. But I am not sure if they are WP:RS as I am not much familiar with this field. Also pinging.

 * Thanks. I'm curious as to why prominence is shown in the infobox when there is no prominence field filled. <i style="color: red;">Volcano</i><i style="color: black;">guy</i> 13:56, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I can't figure that out either — I'm not particularly knowledgeable about how infobox mountain is coded, since it's not my area of expertise. One thing you could try is to post a question at Template talk:Infobox mountain to see if people who are more actively involved in using and adjusting that template can help you figure it out. Or Village pump (technical), if the template talk page has too much of a history of having questions go unanswered. Bearcat (talk) 14:06, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I figured it out. Turns out I had to click "Wikidata item" in the left sidebar then remove the prominence. <i style="color: red;">Volcano</i><i style="color: black;">guy</i> 14:33, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Is this how I would get a message to Volcanoguy??
I apologize if this is not the correct way to do things, but the byzantine ways of communication here are. . . well, byzantine. This is regarding the Cayley massif mK-MK issue.

Dr. Gregory Retzlaff

Postscript: I want to append to my above message rather than change. Is there a way to private message someone rather than editing their talk page??

OK, so I guess this is the way to communicate. I just want to let you know what happened with this daniel0wellby guy. BTW, I have a physics PhD (Univ of Sask) with lots of experience in cryogenic systems, and even worked at TRIUMF at UBC.

Cruising through the Cayley massif article I noticed the gradient in MegaKelvin/meter. Obviously wrong, and I figured a m<->M confusion on someone's part. I thought it would be a trivial first edit for me. An hour later, daniel0wellby 1) changes it back to Mega (even though the references shows milli) and Mega should be obviously ludicrous, and 2) then chastises me for not having references for my change. I was a bit cheesed off, saw no way to message anyone, blundered across the tearoom and slightly vented. Then I notice that this Daniel guy is a loose cannon on Wikipedia, check his talk page. After my banishment, I changed it back to Mega since everyone seemed to think Danny was a good boy. A true storm in a teacup. Anyway, since you seem to be the power that is on the Cayley article and BC geology in general, I wanted you to know what transpired. If Daniel does not realize a thermal gradient of MegaKelvin/meter in a mountain is not ludicrous, he should not be editing these types of articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.125.246.81 (talk) 07:24, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 1997 Cap-Rouge earthquake


The article 1997 Cap-Rouge earthquake has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: WikiProject Earthquakes is not documenting insignificant events like this one, either as standalone articles or as list entries. Our efforts are instead being focused on creating complete, interesting, and encyclopedic articles that require significant coverage. This one fails multiple aspects of WP:EVENT and our own notability guidelines because of the following concerns:


 * One heart attack (not directly related)
 * No papers from the scientific community

This USGS entry for the event tells part of the story:


 * M 4.8 - St. Lawrence Valley region, Quebec, Canada – United States Geological Survey

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * No, just curiosity as I can't find many sources who use that term. JoJo Eumerus mobile (main talk) 07:38, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It may have something to do with the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany, which was at one time called the Deutsche Seewarte and possibly was a result of soundings taken during the German Meteor expedition - complete OR on my part of course.

Hi Volcanoguy, I noticed that you corrected an error that I made on several hot springs articles where I mistakenly added WikiProject Volcanoes to the talk page(s). In the future, if you see that I have made a mistake (esp. if it is one I made more than once!) please reach out to me on my talk page, and I will gladly correct my errors.

Fogo Seamounts
Hello. I was looking at the articles you made about the Fogo Seamounts. I noticed the seamounts have a reference to a Canadian city with roughly the same area in km². I personally don't think this is the best way to convey that kind of information, because it's almost impossible to 'imagine' the area of a city. This is for a large part so because the official area of a city is almost always quite "random": a city with a huge urban area can officialy be quite small; while some very small cities can officially be enormous in size.

You could give multiple completely different sizes for "Calgary" with none of them per se being wrong – it depends purely on interpretation (official land area, urban area, wider metro area, downtown area etc.?). In my opinion it would therefore be far more logical to compare a seamount to a 100% clearly defined geographical enitity such as a country, province or island. To give an example: instead of Birma Seamount being as large as Calgary, I would say that Birma Seamount is as large as Singapore.

What is your opinion about this?

Friendly greetings, Ycleymans (talk) 21:45, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I am not aware of any reliable sources that compare these seamounts to 100% clearly defined geographical entities so I cannot make such comparisons; doing so would fall under WP:OR. <i style="color: red;">Volcano</i><i style="color: black;">guy</i> 00:01, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
