I have just done a large rewrite of Cerro Blanco (volcano), to give it pagenumbers and installing the most recent literature. As the new text has almost nothing in common with the old one beyond the lead section, I'd like to get input on whether the new text still qualifies as a Good Article under the criteria. In particular, the paragraphing and the comments I've placed in the source need reviewing. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:13, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I read through it and it seems pretty good. A few comments:

Some more pictures would be nice, but I assume we don't have any. Found it a little hard to find it on the infobox picture. Wonder if it could be marked or circled.
Aye, there aren't that many freely licenced files of the volcano as it's so remote. I'll see if I can annotate the image somehow. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Feel it could do with some more wikilinks to some specialist terms. Tephra and caldera is only linked in the lead and ignimbrite is linked in the lead and then well after a few mentions. Even things like Country rock could benefit from a link. I see now I am at the end that you have added notes about these in the article.
I've moved one of the notes up. Changed the linking for ignimbrite and added a link for country rock. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The geography section starts with The caldera while the next section says Cerro Blanco ... consists of four nested calderas. So which is the caldera mentioned in the first section? If my understanding is correct I think it would be better to just say volcano or use its name.
Yeah, it's confusing because many sources apparently are not aware of the existence of more than one caldera. I swapped "The volcano" in. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
They are formed But only one is mentioned so not sure how they fits in.
That's because "they" refers to the caldera walls, not the caldera. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A site southeast of the Robledo caldera is known as Robledo. This seems vague to me. What is meant by site?
The map is not really clear on this point. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A map would be nice. It gets confusing following all the similar names.
One of the most spectacular aeolian landscapes of Earth is found at Cerro Blanco Of Earth seems a bit unnecessary and makes this appear quite peacocky.

where a field of large ripples covers an area of 8 square kilometres this lost me
Rewritten, is it clearer now? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
while a role of the bedrock structure or the size of the material is controversial This is sort of left hanging. Does it need some further
I dunno, there is apparently disagreement between two researchers. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why a link to commons is wedged between two paragraphs?
Probably an artifact of how that section was written. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
have been recorded in July What year?
It doesn't appear to be a specific year. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
which only crops out close to is that right grammatically?
Rewrote this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
and is also known as the first cycle ignimbrite. Don't quite follow. Is this what this was called, is it a common name for am event or is it something else. It doesn't seem to tie in with the start of the sentence
It's the name used in several sources. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
there is no agreement whether the Robledo Caldera is the source and the volcano-tectonic depression northeast of Cerro Blanco has been proposed as a source These clauses don't quite fit as worded
I've split that sentence. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A major future eruption would put local communities to the south at risk. The body almost says the opposite, that the area is sparsely populated.
The body also says Also, pyroclastic flows could through narrow valleys reach the Bolsón de Fiambalá valley 50 kilometres (31 mi) south of Cerro Blanco, where many people live. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not quite sure what note k is getting at. Are you saying it is a different Cerro Blanco?
The reason why I mention it is because it has the same name and is in a geographically correct position - a point reinforced by Penck 1920 (OCLC 27914696). However, nobody more recent has drawn a connection between this event and Cerro Blanco, which is why I put it in a note. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not all required in a Good Article and all pretty minor. AIRcorn (talk) 08:24, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aircorn: Replied. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems good to me. Will wait to see if anyone else has any comments. If no one else does I will keep it listed. AIRcorn (talk) 05:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
