FAR commentary

 * Notified: WikiProject Volcanoes, WikiProject Iceland

OK, I saw that there is some activity on WP:Volcanoes, so might be a good time to spruce up the referencing. It has a total of 7 inline refs and an ugly tag that I cannot remove at the top. Should be relatively straightforward. I will tag (i.e. criterion 1c) and notify parties. Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:42, 13 May 2009 (UTC)


 * One of those nice volcano infoboxes would look cool. Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:58, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done, although the infobox is actually from WP:MOUNTAINS. -- Avenue (talk) 18:20, 13 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Image problems
 * File:Heimaey before 1973.jpg isn't by the USGS. That's why when the USGS uses it, it say "Courtesy of Sólarfilma" in the caption. The copyright rests with the Icelandic company.
 * File:Early stages of the 1973 eruption of Eldfell.jpg and File:Lava flow advances into Heimaey.jpg are by the late Svienn Eirikksen. The copyrights should rest with his estate, not with the USGS. DrKiernan (talk) 12:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I'd add some concerns about accuracy and comprehensiveness, although these are hopefully fairly minor. For instance, the "third of all the basaltic lava" statistic seems wrong, concerns about placename translations expressed on the talk page have not been addressed, and the volcanological content seems a bit light. -- Avenue (talk) 01:56, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concern are citations. Also note the recent change to WP:WIAFA (1c) requiring "high-quality" sources.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! '') 02:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delist, per FA criteria concerns. Cirt (talk) 05:09, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delist, unaddressed FA criteria issues. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 20:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delist inadequate citations; four entire sections are unreferenced. Maralia (talk) 22:25, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delist per Maralia MacMedtalk stalk 22:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delist (reluctantly) due to referencing issues, which is a shame. I can't address those and I'd hoped someone who knew the topic could save it. What do others think of the prose? Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:52, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
