Talk:El Hierro

message: The exact location of the meridian on the island is not specified. It seems to be implied that the meridian corresponds to  the westernmost point, but it's not said explicitly. The island is around 20' (25 km) wide - statements such as "the actual island of El Hierro itself is in fact 20° 23' 9" west of Paris", specifying longitudes down to arc seconds, don't make sense unless we're talking about a specific point on the island. --Itinerant1 (talk) 10:05, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  The name "El Hierro" 

message: There probably ought to be something in the article about this - I've only got the one source but it does reference other sources that can be used to expand the article 
Here's my version that can probably get pasted straight in but whilst the source is generally pretty good, some of it seems quite bold not to have a second reference. EdwardLane (talk) 08:22, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Couple of images here and here that show the plot for the earthquake swarm - made by a chap called Lurking who frequents the bigthink eruptions blog. If someone can interpret it that would be cool EdwardLane (talk) 13:35, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Earthquake Swarm 

message: :Ok photos this one with the ramon margalef ship for scale and this one definately showing multiple underwater vents causing plumes of bubbly water], small rafts of (trachyte based it is said) pumice. And at least 1 photo showing small geyser out of the sea, so looks like this is going to be a surtseyean style eruption today/tomorrow. Mostly intelligent debate on this blog and this blog if you're interested. I'm trying to spot anything from a 'reliable' source to update the article. EdwardLane (talk) 08:06, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Eruption Underway

message: according to this 
El Hierro was designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in the year 2000, with 60% of its territory protected to preserve its natural and cultural diversity.
I presume part of it to do with the critically endangered Lizard - but I don't see mention of Unesco and this image of the lizard 
 is not being used either in this article.
Seems like that should be updated if there are reliable citeable sources.  EdwardLane (talk) 10:16, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unesco site 

message: comment here suggests that the rocks date between 0.8 and 1.2 million years, not 100 m years.
It sounds very plausible, and the comment sounds like the person knows what they are talking about but need to find a good source so we can update the article. EdwardLane (talk) 09:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Frankly I would not trust any claim made by McGuire as he seeks financing from sources outside the normal sources for scientific research. His favorite source is believe it or not insurance companies who sell insurance policies to people by scaring them. As the best research seems to indicate that the Cumbre Vieja will NOT fail for at least 10000 years, McGuire's claim that failure is imminent is without foundation! If he said that tomorrow the Sun would rise in the west I would seek independent confirmation before I would accept his claims!! A person who is paid by insurers has sold his scientific soul to the financial devil.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.97.27 (talk) 15:13, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

message: The naming of a new volcano called 'Bob' as part of the current activity has been referenced to a blog. I don't think that we should be using this name until and unless it is picked by a more authoritative source. Mikenorton (talk) 23:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

message: This edit was removed, citing unreliable source. Probably right, but also lacking wp:Balance. This blog post from the same group (Flocard et al) shows data of mainly diesel as source of electricity, with renewables being a smaller part, ie. not sustainable. This appears to be reliable data to support this article. TGCP (talk) 19:38, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
