  • Comment: Imma request a copyedit as well. Note that the article was expanded in an user sandbox whose history was then merged into the main article, this may generate weird results on tools.

5x expanded by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Self-nominated at 22:31, 27 February 2016 (UTC).

  • This substantial article is a five-fold expansion and has been nominated in the correct time frame. Approving ALT1 which has an inline citation to an offline source. Not approving ALT0 because the position is confusing; the article mentions "2,000 years ago for the eastern lava flows" and later "The youngest date reported for one of these lava flows is 1,100 ± 100 years ago." The image is appropriately licensed and the article is neutral. Few of the sources are available to me for checking copyright issues. I did find this site, but I think it has copied Wikipedia rather than the other way round. Its curious that all the words are capitalised in it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:34, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
    @Cwmhiraeth: I've rectified the contradiction in the article re: the dates of the Eastern flows.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
