# Talk:Tilocálar

Parking this source here since while it has some interesting details, it subscribes to the outdated impact crater theory and is terribly spelled to boot. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:27, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

"Tilocálar - the string Tilo is of Atacameno language origin -[2] is" better with commas than hyphens (which should be en-dashes).
Replaced it with a footnote. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
"at about 3,167 metres (10,390 ft) elevation." at an elevation of approximately ...
"of four[3] or two small" odd ref placement, and this curious sentence needs a footnote.
Footnoted this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
"the larger of the two" or four presumably??
Cut the number, as it is the largest irrespective of the number of volcanoes. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
"one 4.3 kilometres (2.7 mi) " adj=on in the convert template here.
"three separate units' what do you mean by units here?
Linked. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Are the dome and crater counting as two of the (maybe) four volcanoes here?
By one version of events, yes. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
"diameter of 400 by 300 metres" diameter is linear, not area.
Replaced with a hyphen. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
"between 50–80 metres" no need for between.
"geographical depression" what's one of those, a valley?
Probably, the sources don't spell it out. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
"compressional tectonic forces" any link?
"magmatism" link.
"Argentina an" comma after Arg.
"emission of ignimbrites and" overlinked.
"Lava flows have..." this is probably the most incomprehensible single sentence I have ever read.  I know this only GAN but some of this jargon needs footnote explanation.
I see, but objectively I don't think that one can describe chemical compositions of rocks without resorting to a lot of jargon. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Ok, well to enable our readers to get a handle on this, add some footnotes as we do at FAC for these terms.  It's not intelligible to most of us, like 99% of us, right now. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 17:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
@The Rambling Man:Footnoted some terms, but we don't actually footnote all such terms - Coropuna and other geology FACses do not footnote chemical terms. Concepts like "phenocryst", yes, which I have now done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:57, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
"differentiation processes" what are they?
"the monogenetic volcanoes.[28]" overlinked.
" argon-argon dating" should be en-dash, not hyphen betwixt the argons.
"of 730000±500000 and 460000±50000 years" comma separators for 1000s
of 3-4. en-dash.
"margin of the Salar de Atacama,[35]" overlinked.
Ref 2, SHOUTING.
Ref 22 needs en-dash in that latitude range.
Ref 29 en-dash.
Same for ref 35.
Ref 36 SHOUTING.
Non-English sources should be tagged with a language parameter.
"Pourrut, Pierre" date format needs to be made consistent.
That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 15:14, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
