Untitled

As evidenced in Herzog's documentary film of the same name (La Soufriere), there were immense signs of an impending eruption in 1977 and the entire island was evacuated before what was seen as an impending disaster. In the film we see the entire island as a ghost town save for some scientists measuring sesmic activity and a handful of locals who have refused to leave, who see no reason to do so and who have accepted their own inevitable death as 'in god's hands'. The film leaves off as the days continue and nothing has happened. Eventually we are told people begin to wander back and take their previous post on the island. Now we know approximately two years later, an eruption did occur. I am just curious to how what was considered so imminent did in fact take much longer to occur and, from a more social/psychological perspective if the statement in the wikipedia article 'there were no casualities' in the 1979 eruption is in fact true. I would guess not. - joshua —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.10.116 (talk) 16:47, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Herzog's film is about a different volcano, La Grande Soufrière. Sparafucil (talk) 10:08, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tempest Anderson images

Hi all, PatHadley here. I'm the Wikipedian-in-Residence at York Museums Trust (project pages). We're just getting started with a major upload of lantern slides by Tempest Anderson, a pioneering vulcanologist based in York. The image category is here: Category:Images from the Tempest Anderson Collection. It needs a little tidying but already has some great images of Mount Pelee, La Soufrière (volcano) and Le-Puy-en-Velay and the surrounding areas. They were taken on trips in 1907, 1902 and 1885 respectively. There will be more than 300 images coming soon (hopefully at higher resolutions!). If you have any questions please let me know. I hope you find them useful! Cheers, PatHadley (talk) 17:02, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

La Soufriere Eruptions

Hello everyone. La Soufriere officially erupted once in the afternoon, not twice. The second eruption was created by a series of volcanic pulses, and can easily be assumed to be different eruptions. However, this is not the case, and it is actually one eruption altogether in the afternoon.Huraff (talk) 22:24, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

La Soufriere Eruptions

Good evening everyone. Just here to suggest the addition of information for the 3rd eruption that occurred at 6:45 ECT. Huraff (talk) 00:47, 10 April 2021 (UTC)'[reply]

Excellent suggestion Huraff, I have added the time suggested. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Jurisdicta (talk) 19:09, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 5 September 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to La Soufrière (Saint Vincent). (non-admin closure) Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 23:22, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

La Soufrière (volcano) → La Soufrière – WP:DPT, WP:SMALLDETAILS, WP:CONCISE. The current (volcano) doesn't really disambiguate anything, and any possible confusion is already handled by the current hatnotes and Soufrière dabpage. 162 etc. (talk) 20:04, 5 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 05:35, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move per nom. Unneeded disambiguation. (note to closer, if closed as move: remember to tag redirect with {{r from unnecessary disambiguation}}) Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 21:37, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:SMALLDETAILS. The disambiguation is not even useful, given that some of the topics it is attempting to disambiguate at the Soufrière dab page are also volcanoes. Hatnotes are the answer here, not parenthetical disambiguation. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:53, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Also, if moved, I think La Soufrière (volcano) should be retargeted to Soufrière#Landforms as {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}.~~ Mdewman6 (talk) 22:54, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If this article is a primary topic for "La Soufrière", then it is a primary topic for "La Soufrière (volcano)". Adding "(volcano)" does not make it more ambiguous. SilverLocust 💬 20:19, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose that's true. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:37, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I think. A volcano is the second thing that goes through any Werner Herzog fan's head, so I don't quite understand the 'unneeded disambiguation' rationale. Sparafucil (talk) 02:28, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps La Soufrière (Saint Vincent) is better. Herzog's film is actually about the volcano in Guadeloupe, which is currently titled La Grande Soufrière. 162 etc. (talk) 04:35, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose original proposal which seems to be ambiguous with La Grande Soufrière, which is sometimes shortened to "La Soufrière". Support La Soufrière (Saint Vincent) as an unambiguous alternative. Jenks24 (talk) 13:44, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
