Cold Bay

Cold Bay Volcano listing here: No such thing, really. The coordinates given here are for Mt. Frosty, a volcano within the Cold Bay volcanic complex. Not sure how to go about renaming this link, however, as it goes to a "Cold Bay volcano" page.Idocrase 00:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arizona

I am deleting Bonito Lava Flow from the list of volcanoes as it is a lava flow associated with Sunset Crater and not a volcano in its own right. See Geology of Sunset Crater National Monument --Burntnickel 15:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Microformats

I've added the hCard microformat to this page (class="vcard"); effectively wrapping the existing "Geo" microformat (in {{coord}}) with a name field (class="fn org"). Andy Mabbett 15:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Too Many Entries?

I've been adding entries to the Arizona section and it is getting pretty big so I got to thinking, would it make sense to list individual vents and cones belonging to a particular volcanic field with that volcanic field rather than in this category? These would be features of a particular site of volcanism rather than unique volcanoes. Exceptions could be made if there is a compelling reason, if the site is a stratovolcoano or a case like Lassen Peak. Thoughts? --Burntnickel 00:38, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It might be better to just split this page in two alphabetically (A-M, N-Z, or whatever) . Andy Mabbett 14:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Active?

I think it might be nice if the list mentioned whether the volcanoes are still considered active or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.186.127.18 (talk) 00:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's actually a lot harder than it seems. Geologists don't actually classify volcanoes that way. It's more of an "evening news" sort of classification. See Talk:Mount_Hood#Dormant or active.3F for a discussion of whether Mount Hood is active or dormant. —EncMstr (talk) 00:56, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates

{{geodata-check}} The coordinates need the following fixes:

  • Write here

89.60.169.109 (talk) 14:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)I believe the Davidof volcanoe is located on Davidof Island and the coordinates[reply]

51°57'4.37"N 178°19'47.53"E would be more accurate.

Done, but used coordinates from http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/volcinfo.php?volcname=Davidof. BrainMarble (talk) 02:56, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

89.60.169.109 (talk) 15:19, 13 June 2009 (UTC) More likely Mount Kiska is at 52° 5'57.00"N 177°36'16.04"E[reply]

Missouri

Could someone add the St. Francois Mountains to the list for Missouri. The area was volcanic 1 billion years ago. Thank you Magnum Serpentine (talk) 20:00, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
