text: I think there is a little too little information (other than intricate detail) on soem of these points to make them into bigger paragraphs. I've processed the issues above. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:47, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

text: Did some of these things, , but I think you meant "MONGO"? I've pinged them. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:47, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

text: Seeing as Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Laguna del Maule (volcano)/archive2 is getting moving again, pinging  and  in case there is anything more to say on this one. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:20, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I will resume where I left off shortly Jo-Jo ... probably tomorrow though as I am still trying to sort the issues at WP:URFA/2020.  Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk)  19:25, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

message: * Should this paragraph go before the findings, for context?  The results of the Quelccaya ice core are widely used to reconstruct past climate states ...
*:Good question. My thinking was that the list is about specific values such as isotope ratios, while the climate is secondhand info inferred from the items in the list. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:09, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

replies: text:  Not even sure what idiom it is, because the double cc is so odd there.  SandyGeorgia (Talk)  23:04, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

message: Generally I do better if I simply alter the prose and do random reference checking for things. Is this a form of Peer Review going on now as a prerequiste to a Featured Article nomination?--MONGO (talk) 15:11, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: MONGO, I am barely scratching the surface and would be thrilled to see you dig in. SandyGeorgia (Talk)  15:31, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , yes, it's the prerequisite for a FAC nomination. As  noted above the prose may not be up to par. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:10, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Will try and work on it but might not see much effort till mid week lots going on in real life.--MONGO (talk) 16:20, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Ok..have not given up hope yet...just curious how much I can alter wording? I hate stepping on anyone's toes but I may be a bit drastic in a few areas.--MONGO (talk) 00:40, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I generally check people's edits to my articles, to make sure that they didn't break text-source integrity. Your edits so far seem OK to me. I would use different wording on some points, but then, there is more than one way to write the same topic. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:36, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Is the jury in that the ice cap retreat is solely due to human caused global warming? My understanding is that while this is the defining factor according to the sources, its not the only reason as we have been in a warming state as a trend since 10K years ago. The overall trend has been one of warming since then.--MONGO (talk) 20:06, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

text: The following article attributes a lot of the most recent retreat to a strong El Nino effect in 2015 and reduced precipitation overall since 1970.--MONGO (talk) 20:16, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question, but as the Quelccaya article notes early in the Holocene Quelccaya was smaller than before the Little Ice Age/recently, and the modern retreat was underway since before the 2015 ENSO event (putting aside for a moment whether the 2015 ENSO event was a natural one).  I presume there may be sources here that answer this question; I'll go through them later today. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: So, did much of the expansion - edit is here if someone could check the prose. I am not sure we want to have the details on equilibrium line altitude () included. This source discusses the continuing shrinkage but it doesn't show a drastic change around 2015-2016. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:40, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

message: Specifically ; as noted in the FA candidacy apparently statistical methods for detecting cyclicity are now considered questionable. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:41, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

message: From what I know this attempt to correlate Quelccaya to the Ruwenzori has gained some criticism. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:35, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Questionable theory 

message: Only one source used in the article names it the highest point of Quelccaya, but a lot of sources refer to a highest point of Quelccaya. I've written it so that the name refers to the "summit" of Quelccaya and thus referred the elevation estimates to it. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:00, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
