Taapaca

 * Nominator(s): Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:14, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

This article is about a volcano in northern Chile, one of the northernmost volcanoes of that country in fact. Taapaca is a holy mountain for local people and was one for the Inka. The volcano was once considered to be extinct but now we know that it had eruptions until about 2300 years ago. The important local town of Putre lies on its slopes and on top of recent volcanic deposits and thus could be in danger from future eruptive activity. This is my second nomination for FA after Tutupaca; as with that article did a thorough copyedit on Taapaca. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:14, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Comments from Mike Christie
Support. My only reservation is criterion 3, images; the article would benefit from a map, though it's not a significant enough issue for me to withhold support. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I see a map's been added; that's helpful. Even better would be a map showing local topographic features mentioned in the article, but that may not be possible. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 12:10, 3 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Images that are present are appropriately licensed. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:50, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Support and comments from Jim

 * If sector collapses is technical enough to be red-linked to a non-existent article, you should explain what it means in this context.
 * I agree that a diagrammatic map of the locality would be an enhancement
 * You've linked tarapaca which is a disambiguation page head by something you've already said before about the word for eagle. I'm not sure what you are trying to do with that link
 * Otherwise all looks good Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:29, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * In order:
 * I swear, I had promised at some point to write an article about sector collapses. In the absence of an article I've added a parenthetical.
 * There are a number of geological maps, none of which is freely licensed. There is File:Txu-oclc-224571178-se19-10.jpg which is topographical and could be cropped. Otherwise, the only other way would be to ask someone at commons:Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop to see if they can make a map.
 * Um, clarify the issue please? I am not sure I understand.

Will try to get to this in the next few days.  ceran  thor 17:18, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * in case there any follow ups... Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:13, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I had honestly forgotten this was on my todo list. Will get to it ASAP!  ceran  thor 22:08, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Support - Still going through and making some copyedits here and there, but this is pretty much ready.  ceran  thor 19:46, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Sources review
I've been unable to check many refs specifically, because of paywalls and language, but in general the article seems to be based on scholarly sources and I am happy to AGF. A few minor issues:
 * Ref 1: does not give full source title
 * Ref 2: requires retrieval date
 * Ref 3: gives links to two separate web pages. Which, respectively, are the sources for a, b and c?
 * Ref 3: requires retrieval date
 * Ref 9: Link is to abstract only - see note below.
 * Ref 23: requires retrieval date
 * Ref 61: You shouldn't use caps for the source title, even though that's how it is presented in the original. See also Reinhard in the sources list
 * Wegner, W.; Worner, G.; Kronz, A in sources list lacks publisher information
 * General: some of the sources link to abstracts & require purchase or approved login to get access to the source articles. It would be helpful if these were indicated, e.g. by use of subscription templates.

Otherwise, all looks well. Brianboulton (talk) 19:25, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Got most issues. Re paywalled/restricted source articles, I was using an university VPN which isn't paywalled to access them. My account on that VPN has now lapsed, so some sources I need to access in other ways; I've added some "subscription needed" tags. Regarding http://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040366, to be honest I am not entirely certain who the publisher is for that. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:47, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You need a publisher. Surely its the Institute de Recherche pour le Développment? It's on their website. Brianboulton (talk) 19:58, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Added it as "website". Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:03, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Comments Support from Cas Liber
Taking a look.....
 * Is it usual to describe a volcano from teh date of its last eruption? e.g. this is a Holocene volcano but was active before the holocene as well....?
 *  emplacement is an odd word - does it have a specific meaning in geology?
 * In the Name section, the words-as-words are formatted differently. Italics in the first sentence and double quotes in the last sentence

Otherwise looks ok. Nothing standing out on prose or comprehensiveness. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:35, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for commenting. In order:
 * Yes, usually volcanoes are described from the last eruption date, since e.g its hazard level depends on it.
 * If Google Scholar is a reliable source for such information, yes, "emplacement" is usually used to describe this concept.
 * Standardized it.
