Picking this up! Will ping you when I have a full review. grungaloo (talk) 21:26, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey Volcanoguy, another great article! I only have one comment below, but it's just a suggestion and not something to hold up GA promotion for. The prose is clear and consistent, the references check out (thanks for using page numbers!), it has good coverage of the details, good images, and no evidence of any edit warring. Congrats on another GA! grungaloo (talk) 20:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- "An eruption recurrence interval of 379 years has been calculated for the MEVC by dividing 11,000 by the number of demonstrable Holocene eruptions. " - I'd suggest a minor rewrite or adding a footnote to clarify that it's 11,000 years and why 11,000 years is used (as opposed to some other number).
Pre-FAC review[edit]
Volcanoguy - sorry I'm just now getting to this - life got busy.
- "The MEVC has a volume of 670 cubic kilometres (160 cubic miles) " - I'm assuming this is of post-eruptive material, but it wouldn't hurt to explicitly state this as it is not very common to see geographic areas measured in volume
- "Volcanism of the MEVC took place during five magmatic cycles" - I'd rephrase this a bit - the use of the past tense here indicates that all volcanism at the MEVC is over, but as the article notes, the fifth cycle might still be going on
I may just be completely misunderstanding this, but I'm not seeing how the dates for the periods of the first magmatic cycle work. If the Little Iskut conformably overlies the Raspberry formation, then how does it work that the dates for the Raspbery formation extend essentially for the entire range for the first magmatic cycle, including up to 1.8 my after the Little Iskut formation?- so further on in the article I learn that they're possible coeval or nearly contemporaneous. I think it would be best to mention that fact in the introductory paragraph for that first magmatic section- I've moved that sentence to the introductory paragraph and reworded it a bit to "Eruptions of the Little Iskut period immediately followed or may have been coeval with those of the Raspberry period due to the lack of an erosion surface between the two formations."

- "As the lava domes continued to grow their slopes became oversteepened, " - is this grammatical? Something seems off here to me
Ready for the second magmatic cycle, will continue soon. Hog Farm Talk 17:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- "The lava flows buried lag gravels" - I think you'll need a link or a short gloss for what "lag gravels" area
- Linked "lag" to lag deposit. Volcanoguy 14:08, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- "Potassium–argon dating has yielded ages of 0.31 ± 0.07 million years for Kakiddi mugearite" - but the article says earlier that the Ice Peak formation was the only one to involve mugearite?
- Are the any estimates for volume of eruptive material for the fith magmatic cycle?
I think this will be good to go for FAC once the above are addressed. Let me know when you nominate it and I'll likely support; apologies for this taking so long. Hog Farm Talk 02:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Hog Farm: No need to apologize I don't plan on nominating this article for FA yet, but I have nominated the Big Raven Formation article if you want to take a look at it. Volcanoguy 16:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
