[edit] date in article on Mount Pinatubo

text says "after 500 years of dormancy", however i feel this should be "after 460 years of dormancy"

[edit] Novarupta vs. Mt. Pinatubo

The referenced Mount Pinatubo eruption was not the largest of the 20th century. Some references have it as the second largest or the third largest. Please see the discussion at Talk:Novarupta. --Burntnickel 21:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

In the infobox last eruption date field there is a link to the Smithsonian Global Volcanism site that is appearing as a reference (a number is brackets). This is confusing as this is not the same as the same numbered reference in the main body text and it does not appear in the list of references. I'm not sure what the prefered solution to this problem is. Should the link be removed, made and independant reference or what? --Burntnickel 12:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Made into its own reference --- it's pretty easy: I did it. hike395 13:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that. I wan't sure how to go about it. --Burntnickel 14:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First Magmatic Eruptions: Which is Correct?

In the last paragraph of the "1991 Awakening" section, it clearly states: "The first magmatic eruptions occurred on June 3". However, this is contradicted two sections later in the first paragraph of the "Eruptions Build to a Climax" section, where it states: "On June 7th, the first magmatic eruptions took place". I would correct this information myself, if I knew which one was true. Anyone have any ideas? Curlyiain 15:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Large amounts of new material redacted

The large amount of quoted PD material isn't appropriate to be simply stuck on the end of the article. I moved it to Talk:Mount Pinatubo/new material until we can integrate it back into the article. hike395 05:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
