message: “One of the greatest volcanoes in Iceland,” eh? I’m not sure if this means the biggest, most powerful, tallest, widest, or simply someone’s opinion. Let’s see a reference. Max Naylor 18:23, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: "Many large prehistoric eruptions have occurred southwest of the glacier, of which two after the settlement of Iceland"
If the eruptions were after settlement, they were not prehistoric. Van der Hoorn (talk • contribs) 08:37, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

message: With the recent activity and the various sites almost crowdsourcing the data, how should Wikipedia handle citations? When/If Bárðarbunga goes off the page is going to get a lot of updates very quickly.

message: There seems to be no article for aviation colour code. Do other editors think one would be useful? If so, perhaps a red link might be useful to alert other editors. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:19, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Alternatively, of course, someone could replace what appears to be a non-existent warning system with "USGS warning code." Except that the source says "Aviation Color Codes", so maybe we should stick to that. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:52, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: "Aviation colour code" should be mentioned in aviation safety, it isn't at the time of this writing. walk victor falk talk 21:05, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

message: I flew over the volcano today. I got some great pictures which I'm happy to open source. Should I add one or two to the page? Peterhartree (talk) 20:01, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That would be fantastic. They should also go into the Holuhraun article which currently has no images.  de Bivort 21:08, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

text: OK! I'm quite busy at work today, but I'll try to figure this out tomorrow. I'm sorry if that seems a bit slow - I'm new to Wikipedia, and it seems I need to read the guides fairly carefully before I upload an image. If someone else wants to put them up in the meantime, please feel free - you can get them at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/41812768@N07/sets/72157647247278902/ with a CC Sharealike license.

replies: text:  That's absolutely great! Fantastic! :-) It's very generous of you to release these fine pictures under a free CC license (CC-BY-SA). You really don't need to apologize for "the less than ideal quality", as you wrote on flickr - in my opinion, they're fascinating impressions of the volcano that will be helpful for use not just here, but certainly in many language versions of Wikipedia and for other uses, once they're on Wikimedia Commons. I'm happy to help with the transfer of the flickr album to Commons and am currently in the process of doing so :-) Gestumblindi (talk) 19:31, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

text:  Your pictures are now at :commons:Category:Bárðarbunga as well as at the new category :commons:Category:Holuhraun and can be used for Wikipedia from there :-) - I think both categories are fitting, as it is an eruption of the Bárðarbunga system (though not in the Bárðarbunga caldera itself) in the Holuhraun lava field. Maybe it would be appropriate to make the category "Holuhraun" a subcategory of Bárðarbunga, so the images would only need to be in the Holuhraun category, but I'm not sure whether that would make sense to experts in the field - if someone's reading this who thinks that would be good, feel free to change the categorizing :-) Gestumblindi (talk) 19:43, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

message: The section August 2014 seismic activity and Holuhraun eruption is getting long. Maybe it would be better to create a dedicated article like German Wikipedia's :de:Ausbruch im Bárðarbunga-Vulkansystem 2014? Gestumblindi (talk) 22:16, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Good job, the current phase of the eruption has settled down so no point in repeating the same events each day. I'll continue updating the new article with any significant changes.Chuangzu (talk) 17:34, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

message: go to the katla article and follow the link to a map that shows earthquakes.84.212.111.156 (talk) 23:10, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the holohraun eruption there have been a largish number of quakes at bardabunga, it seems likely that they are predominantly subsidence/blocking/resettling after the aforesaid eruption, with reinflation over a longish timescale, at present I don't think the quakes are significant - and thus the activity is not mentioned in the article. If you can find a reliable source mentioning them with a theoretical explanation of their cause that would be good to include. This link currently says 
"Week overview 3 October - 9 October
Around 300 earthquakes were detected last week by the national seismic network of the Icelandic Meteorological Office. The largest earthquake was M3.8 in Bardarbunga on October 5. Additional three earthquakes over 3.0 were detected last week. They all occurred in Katla volcano on October 5. The largest one of them measured M3.4 and the others measured M3.2 and M3.1. Around 30 earthquakes were detected by Bardarbunga, just over 70 earthquakes in Katla volcano and two by Hekla. "  EdwardLane (talk) 12:20, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
