This page has a detailed summary of the history and progress of WikiProject Volcanoes. Hopefully, this archive of information will be useful to both this WikiProject and to others. It seems prudent to write it down before it is otherwise inevitably forgotten, or buried deep within edit histories.

[edit] Timeline

• March 17, 2007: Project created at 7:00 UTC. Three hours later, the first two participants joined.
• March 17, 2007: Tagging of articles with the {{Volcano}} template begins. During the tagging process, numerous improvements were also being made to many articles, along with cleanup of any talk pages which needed it. Although manual tagging is tedious, the opportunity it affords for viewing the landscape within a WikiProject's scope and beginning the process of making needed improvements is one major advantage over bot-assisted tagging.
• March 19, 2007: Over 370 articles tagged.
• March 20, 2007: Over 500 articles tagged.
• March 21, 2007: Over 750 articles tagged. Comprehensive cleanup of the subcategories in Category:Volcanoes started.
• March 22, 2007: Section on "Featured articles" added to project page. Category cleanup to eliminate redundant "Category:Volcanoes by region".
• March 24, 2007: Over 1000 articles tagged. More category cleanup, to remove the few volcanoes which were in Category:Craters.

Now that the initial assessment phase has been completed, future updates will rely on the automated bot run which occurs every other day. Results will be added here on a less frequent basis, perhaps weekly or when significant changes have occurred.
