Question about source
In the Historical and Social Consequences section, Paragragh 3.
I question the verifiability of source no. 88,Dodds and Liddy 2011, stating that: "The price for corn increased in Britain, France and Italy." Since the Samalas eruption was in 1257, corn had not been introduced into Europe yet. The page in Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

I've been looking at the sources provided - https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/joc.891 and https://web.archive.org/web/20060701152210/http://volcano.si.edu/world/largeeruptions.cfm - and it seems like many of the data in the table are unsupported or omitted. I think that we could make a table on the basis of Oppenheimer 2003, but not one on the basis of the GVP listing as it'd be either cherry-picked or way too long. Or we use a more recent source, such as the "VEI7" source in the article. Opinions? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:56, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
