Talk:Volcanism on Io

message: Since it looks like the peer review process appears to be slowing down, perhaps we should take this article to the next step in the process, a Good Article nomination?  Would give the article another pass through another set of reviewers, the GA folks.  --Volcanopele (talk) 20:12, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As was suggested, it might even be worth taking it straight to the FA folks...get the strictest review possible. It isn't necessary to go peer->GA->FA, unless simply by choice. I apologise for not working on the article lately (though it appears you have things well under control)...I just haven't had time to devote to sitting down and working through everything. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 21:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay, I'll post a link to the review to the Geology and Volcano Wikiprojects, then wait a few days to submit it for FAC.  --Volcanopele (talk) 06:15, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Forgive the ignorance if this is a mistake, but shouldn't the article be named Vulcanism on Io? BigHairRef | Talk 02:01, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Spelling in articles tend to reflect the spelling of the majority of the references uses.  In this case, an 'o' is used instead of 'u' in nearly all the references used for this article.  --Volcanopele (talk) 02:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have never before in my life seen the word Volcanism.  It must be a sloppy modern coinage.  Though I note that both spellings have Wikipedia pages that redirect to Volcano. --Llewdor (talk) 19:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For at least two of the references used for this article, the book Volcanism on Io by Ashley Davies, and the chapter "Active volcanism: Effusive eruptions" in Galileo after Io by John Spencer and Rosaly Lopes, the spelling used is Volcanism.  Merriam-Webster.com also uses this spelling and attributes the origin to 1864. Quite frankly, I have rarely seen it spelled vulcanism.  --Volcanopele (talk) 19:45, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I too have rarely seen any other spelling than "volcanism". This spelling also avoids confusion with that thing you do to rubber:  "vulcanization". Rachel Pearce (talk) 23:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

message: What particular formatting problems occur with more than one column? bibliomaniac15 03:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There were issues with the image used in the Plumes section and the references section when more than one column was used.  Now that the Plumes section is much longer, the issue has been resolved, so using more than one column is probably fine now.  --Volcanopele (talk) 03:58, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, now that the images have been rearranged, the technical problems are resolved. However, using two columns does tend to make reading citations that much more difficult for users on smaller screens, and even for higher-resolution monitors, does not appreciably reduce the total room needed to display them. I recommend leaving at single column. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 04:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello,
First, let me congratulate the authors for this good article.  
I'm not a native speaker so it is perhaps obvious, but I failed to understood the usage of the term "outburst eruptions" define in the article (and quoted below): 
“These eruptions, sometimes called "outburst" eruptions from their Earth-based detections, are characterized by their short duration [...]”
Does it means that "outburst eruptions" is only used for detection performed from Earth ? and not from a spacecraft like galileo for example ? Thanks for your help.

replies: text: No, it means that rather than lasting a long time, these eruptions are only known to have short periods of activity. In English, events occurring over short periods of time are called "outbursts", like when someone suddenly starts yelling for a moment, usually for no apparent reason. — Huntster (t @ c) 22:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes and no.  Outbursts were especially bright (in the near-infrared portion of the spectrum) eruptions observed by ground-based observers between the Voyager and Galileo missions.  These are explosion-dominated eruptions, the currently accepted term for this type of volcanic eruption on Io.  So the term "outburst eruption" was used for the ground-based observations, but obviously these same type of eruptions were seen by Galileo (at Thor and Gish Bar, for example).  So basically, "outburst eruptions" is another term used for "explosion-dominated eruption", and it is used in the article to make it clear to readers who might be aware of the subject already that these two terms are equivalent.  In general though, the term "outburst" is generally used for ground-based detections.  As Huntster pointed out, it derives from the informal usage.  --Volcanopele (talk) 22:35, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Since Geology is the study of Earth, wouldnt Volcanology of Io be part of the Iology of Io? I believe "Selenology" is sometimes used for the "geology' of the moon, and "Areology" would be a term for Martian Geology. is this silly, or serious?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:52, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
