The Decade Volcanoes are those which have been identified as the most worthy of intensive study, given their history of violent eruptions and proximity to large populations. I've worked on all these articles, making sure they have references and images, and have also made a WikiReader (see WP:WR) from this content, so thought I would give it a run past here.

Looks great! I'll support if you can add references to Mount Etna, Teide and Mount Vesuvius. Also, the "related images" at Mauna Loa ought to be included in the body of the article (and some of them are of dubious value, I think). Tuf-Kat 22:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks! Have done as suggested with Mauna Loa, and will add references shortly to the relevant articles. Worldtraveller 19:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Unfortunately I find myself without the time at the moment to dig up references where required. I'll be able to address this point in a few weeks time - if I can leave this nomination here pending until then that would be great, but I can easily renominate when I have worked on the articles if the nomination is remove in the meantime.

I agree with Tuf-Kat, but would add that the main article (Decade Volcanoes) could possibly do with some too. Secondly, should it not be Decade Volcano? Great work to all involved in these articles. violet/riga (t) 18:48, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, it certainly does need references, and I will add some asap. As for its title, I have no strong preference although I created the article at the plural form as it made more sense to me in the way I wrote the text. Worldtraveller 19:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I know there's a general policy (or guideline?) that articles should be at their singular - it's probably in the naming conventions somewhere, but it's not anything I'd quibble about. violet/riga (t) 19:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
For the most part this looks good. There are some things off though. A huge one is that not all the articles link to each other. Perhaps a template would be good here. Also, some have multiple external links sections which should be merged. Other than that the content looks good, and this should become a featured topic.
- Thanks very much for the comment. The articles are linked by all being in Category:Decade Volcanoes, and I have to say I think that a template would be a bit redundant with that, though I would not object to adding one if you feel that it would benefit the series. I'll have a look for the multiple links sections and sort that one. Worldtraveller 21:01, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Links to merapi needs to be disambiguated. Also, all templates should be made identical, especially if these are to be linked through a template. SeeWikipedia:WikiProject Mountains#Templates. Circeus 20:53, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It'd be kind of nice to know what International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry is. At least some kind of stub article talking about a bit of it. Seems kind of strange to have it right off in the main article.
