Talk:Mount Unzen

message: I'm having trouble understanding the following:
The first phreatic eruptions began in November 1990, and after inflation of the summit area, fresh lava began to emerge on June 20 1990.
This sentance seems to be slightly contradictory. The sentance is either written in the wrong order or the dates are wrong. KirbyMeister 01:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Confusing dates 

message: At the beginning it says 44 people were killed. In the middle of the article it says 43. Which one is it? Robin Chen 06:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears sources say "either 41 or 42 people" died in the incident, see for instance the well-sourced Harry Glicken article. Yes, User:Robin Chen, this article would be improved by making this more clear. CapnZapp (talk) 05:41, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Question

message: I was surprised to find there was no mention on the mass murder of Japanese christians that took place on mount Unzen (17th century?). I am not well informed about the subject, so I don't feel qualified to write about it, but it seems that it would be worth mentioning. Here are some random references I found, though not of academic quality. No reference of the event in the Japanese wiki of Mount Unzen (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9B%B2%E4%BB%99%E5%B2%B3) at this writing.
"The Martyrs of Unzen (29 Christians drowned to death in the Shimabara river or scalded to death in the sulphur springs of Unzen)"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Japan
"Did you know? In the early 17th century, when the then rulers began their crackdown on Christianity, many Christian converts were thrown into the boiling Unzen Hell. "
http://www.ngs-kenkanren.com/eng/cs3.html
"During the depression of Jigoku (1627-1632) conducted by Shigemasa Matsukura, many Christians were killed. Though it is impossible now to indicate the exact place in which many Christians suffered martyrdom, two monumental stones were placed in "Oito-jigoku" to honor the martyrs."

Clearly related to The Shimabara Rebellion
"The Shimabara Rebellion (島原の乱 Shimabara no ran) was an uprising largely involving Japanese peasants, most of them Catholic Christians, in 1637–1638 during the Edo period."

replies: text: I was also surprised, not only by that lack of history, but also the lack of any mention that links Mt. Unzen to the sulfur springs in the area, the hot spring baths, and the associated resorts. If an editor can find some good sources and add the missing information, the article and readers would surely benefit. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
