Talk:Tungurahua

message: Can anybody help with reliable sources regarding the first ascent, i currently have two versions, one with stübel only, other with stübel&reiss ?? thanks. Ma xyz 04:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources for first ascent 

message: There is a contradiction. The article claims that Baños (15000 inhabitants) was evacuated and that a total of 3200 people were evacuated. I guess the latter count is obsolete. I have no access to reliable information sources so I prefer not to try to fix that. --FvdP 20:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  2006 eruption contradiction 

message: A lot of people are currently adding details about the latest eruption event at Tungurahua. In my opinion the current content regarding the 2006 eruptions is much too detailed compared to the rest of the article, and most of it is not of encyclopedic long term interest. Probably it would be a better spent effort adding all this information on wikinews, i could not yet find any tungurahua related article there. Ma xyz 21:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: People should be encouraged to do both. Let's collect the info as things happen, and re-organise the stuffs into a concise prose after the dust settles. --PFHLai 04:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok. I added some more encyclopaedic stuff to the article and also section title "Current volcanic activity news". I propose that who contributes any news fragment to the article could add it there (and cite their sources!), as well as news links related to the current activity in the respective section.

replies: text:  In the mean time a wikinews article exists summarising most of the information with news character added to this article. To convert this in a useful encyclopaedic article again I propose to delete the august 16 eruption news section and the related external links in a few days time. In case of further eruptive activity I propose again to better spend effort on creating wikinews articles to which can be linked from here (in the wikinews template section). The advantage of having adding the information to a wikinews article rather than wikipedia is that it will be archived and always available for later research, whereas information with news character in wikipedia cannot stay for long.

thread_title:  2006 eruption news -> rather add on wikinews than wikipedia 

message: New Scientist recently posted a news article "Volcanoes may reveal secrets through 'song'
This article describes some new research where scientist transforms the seismic reading to sound (sonication). This is done to help them detect complex patterns, something our ear is better at than our eyes. The researchers have made different sonications of two active volcanoes Mount Etna and Tungurahua, one using a MIDI keyboard, this version has been made publicly available Tungurahua Sonication. I thought this might add to the article scientific part but not quite sure how to fit it in, so I thought I would ask your opinions.
Sincerely Angelic Logos
::Very interesting. I would propose to first include the information regarding usage of Sonification in Volcanology in the respective article. Then a short sentence in the volcanism section could link there. The link to the sound file should be added to the external links section (together with a note that it is a 9.2MB aif file).

thread_title:  Sonication 

message: this phys.org article suggests a possible flank collapse, which seems to agree with this (diff here) apparently good faith edit that got reverted  - so it looks like that ought to be unreverted tweaked slightly and this article cited instead of deleting it, but I don't wish to start an edit war, so if anyone wishes to do that please go ahead, I'm watching the page and if i remember to check in a month or so I'll get around to it myself if no one objects in the meantime EdwardLane (talk) 23:15, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
