[edit] Coordinates and WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates

Following a suggestion on User talk:D6, I'd like to format the coordinates here with Template:Coor (or rather Template:Coor dm and Template:Coor dms) to provide links to maps. Where there are several formats offered, e.g. the entry for Cordon del Azufre, I'd use just the dms instead of the decimal format. -- User:Docu

Can we also have a link to the subject 'volcano' and vice versa?Thank you.Gammadion 05:39, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Active volcanoes

When editing the article of an active volcano, remember to add [[Category:Active volcanoes]]. The definition of "active" is broad and includes more than those which are presently erupting. (SEWilco 19:44, 17 August 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Devil's Tower

I noticed that someone added Devils Tower National Monument to his page. Being a product of an intrusion rather than eruption, can Devils Tower really be considered a volcano? 青い(Aoi) 08:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] File size

Shouldn't this article be split into two because of size? I opened this article and it couldn't load at all on an old computer... Kookoo275 16:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Opened fine for me. However, the article is getting too long. I agree it should be split based on continent and this becomes a link to them. RedWolf 15:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I have moved Canada's to a separate page. I think the United States also needs to be split but I am a bit uncertain as to the name to use. Either List of volcanoes in the United States or List of volcanoes of the United States. I prefer the former as it sounds better grammatically but the current list also has volcanoes belonging in US territories so why it may be better to use the latter. There is also List of mountains of the United States. RedWolf 17:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Smartest thing would be to have one site for the different continents, then from there you can click down to Europe volcanos, Spanish volcanos, Madrid area volcanos or something similar. This just looks messy and loads quite slow even on new computers.--NoNo 22:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I would split the others based on continent. Eventually, more countries would require their own article once they are more populated. I thought about doing a continent article for Canada and the USA but both lists alone are large enough to warrant their own page already. RedWolf 15:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Split of USA is finished. I used the first name above, but it can be changed easily if others prefer the second. Continents are next (anyone else?)... --Spiffy sperry 18:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
