Talk:Mount Pinatubo

message: I think these two ought to be mentioned somewhere in this article. The Wikipedia page on the Krafft's states that their footage helped convince authorities that eruption was imminent and evacuation necessary. Certainly they saved many lives and the same year sacrificed their own in that line of work. Would surely be disrespectful not to mention this somewhere.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.187.112 (talk) 14:57, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

message: The referenced Mount Pinatubo eruption was not the largest of the 20th century.  Some references have it as the second largest or the third largest.  Please see the discussion at Talk:Novarupta. --Burntnickel 21:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Novarupta vs. Mt. Pinatubo

message: In the infobox last eruption date field there is a link to the Smithsonian Global Volcanism site that is appearing as a reference (a number is brackets).  This is confusing as this is not the same as the same numbered reference in the main body text and it does not appear in the list of references.  I'm not sure what the prefered solution to this problem is.  Should the link be removed, made and independant reference or what? --Burntnickel 12:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Infobox

message: In the last paragraph of the "1991 Awakening" section, it clearly states: "The first magmatic eruptions occurred on June 3". However, this is contradicted two sections later in the first paragraph of the "Eruptions Build to a Climax" section, where it states: "On June 7th, the first magmatic eruptions took place". I would correct this information myself, if I knew which one was true. Anyone have any ideas?

message: The article says that Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano. What is it doing now? Is it just smoking? --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 00:01, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: active doesn't mean currently erupting. I've added a link to help clarify this. Its last eruption was in 1993; the bit of the infobox that said this was broken. -- Avenue (talk) 02:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: So does active mean that it has erupted recently and could erupt again? --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 19:40, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Here are monthly summaries of its activity since 1991. Since 1995, the concerns have been over lahars more than eruptions, but yes, it could well erupt sometime in the future. -- Avenue (talk) 22:44, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Erupting? 

message: "Although the 1991 eruption was one of the largest and most violent of the 20th century, it was weaker than any of the historical eruptions uncovered by geologists. There is some evidence that eruptions at Pinatubo are getting weaker over time, but this is by no means conclusively established."
The c. 1450 eruption was even weaker, with VEI of 5! See Global Volcanism Programme.

thread_title: Innaccurate

message: According to the article, "in the year following the Pinatubo eruption, the moon was hardly visible at all during eclipses, due to much greater absorption of sunlight by dust in the atmosphere," however in a previous section it is mentioned that sunlight was attenuated by only 10 percent. Such a decrease can readily be identified by instrumentation, but is hard to notice otherwise. If the moon was indeed hardly visible, this is more likely due to aerosol scattering, not absorption. I also think this bit requires a source. Odedee (talk) 21:50, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The appearance of lunar eclipses 

message: According to the "Activity since 1991" section, "Since 1991, Pinatubo has remained active, with twenty activity events reported in 1992, three in 1993, four in 1994, two in 1995, and one each in 1996 and 2002." 
But, under "The area since 1991", "Since 1992, the volcano has been dormant."
Maybe it's fine, I have no clue -- I only bring it up because those two statements together confused me while reading this article.

replies: text: I think that sounds reasonable, since the Armero tragedy and the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens both have their own articles. --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 21:25, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Oppose.  Most of the article is about the 1991 eruption.  Separating it would reduce the remnant to little more than start level. Gubernatoria (talk) 06:07, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

message: "This led to a decrease in northern hemisphere average temperatures of 0.5–0.6 °C (0.9–1.1 °F), and a global fall of about 0.4 °C (0.7 °F)."
I think it needs to be made clearer what measure of global temperature is being used here. A fall of this magnitude is not visible in either the CRU or GISS global temperature datasets:
CRU temperatures: http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/temp/jonescru/graphics/glnhsh.png - figure from http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/temp/jonescru/jones.html

message: These group of mountains which is part of the Zambales Mountain Range is verified by my references as just Cabusilan Mountains not Tri-Cabusilan Mountains.   I am following the rules of verifiability per WP:Verifiability and WP:Verifiability, not truth.  I could present ten more references to support just Cabusilan.  Here, try using Google Books search for Cabusilan.  Try searching for 'Tri-Cabusilan' and it will only give you books sourced from Wikipedia!  Please stop spreading misinformation by using Wikipedia.  Please read why verifiability is important.  If Cabusilan is again changed to Tri-Cabusilan, then that would be considered as vandalism and reverted right away. Thanks. - Briarfallen (talk) 10:05, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Regarding Aeta people some things seem to be wrong:
* The Aeata live all over Luzon, not only around the Pinatubo, while other closely related tribes like the Ati live on other islands.
* Aetas like other indigenous people in the Philippines have been driven from the lowlands to the mountainsides by the malayo-polynesian immigrants, thousands of years before the arrival of the spaniards.
* The Aetas around Pinatubo have been living there since thousands of years as well, at least according to the already linked article. Which is interesting, as it means that Aetas have been living there during previous eruptions already.
* Spanish conquestadores in the Philippines had near to no contact to the indigenous people they christened "Negritos". They fought or dealt with Malayo-Polynesian Datus who were in power of coasts and lowlands.
The majority of the today Filipinos, unlike Mexicans or Argentinians, are not of spanish descent, they are Malayo-Polynesians. This seems to be an underlying misunderstanding in this article.
