Picture

A

B

C

We have at least three pictures of the ash plume taken on the same day from a similar location. Which one should be used in the article? --Bjarki (talk) 01:15, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Image A did not not meet resolution and quality criteria of Wikimedia when I replaced it. I see there is now a higher-resolution version available. Are you sure it is correctly white-balanced, it looks very bright and yellow, if you compare it to the other two taken under very similar conditions? I also think the framing contains too much ground.

Image C is of very poor quality, with major jpeg artifacts and complete lack of sharpness.

Bottom line IMO is that we should have a newer picture there though, maybe someone has a picture from middle of May? I haven't been down there in good enough weather for a while myself. Boaworm (talk) 10:42, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree on pic C. I did adjust the contrast and saturation of picture A somewhat to get rid of the gray/blueish haze in the air and hopefully better represent the scene as it would be seen through human eyes. I also worked on the plume specifically to get better definition of the details in the smoke. I put the original master version straight from the camera on my user page along with the adjusted one for comparison. There's no shortage of good pictures out there, we could maybe find something with the appropriate CC-licence on flickr. --Bjarki (talk) 15:39, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Both photos are brigher / more yellow than I remembered it from that day. It looks artificial somehow. Of the two, I prefer the master. A friend of mine took this picture on the same day, it also has this darker color that I remembered. Boaworm (talk) 15:48, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Webcam locations

Could an experienced wiki editor please wikify the locations here 2010_eruptions_of_Eyjafjallajökull#Webcams thanks.--Lidos (talk) 19:05, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Like that? —WWoods (talk) 14:21, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Brilliant. Thanks, Wwoods.--Lidos (talk) 14:46, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Amount of water evaporated and discharged?

The chapter Volume of erupted material and magma discharge should include some links to estimates on the amount of water (H2O), SO2 and other gasses, evaporated during the eruption... There is some hint here Gas composition and flux report, linked from Chemical composition linked from Eruption in Eyjafjallajökull on the page of Institute of Earth Sciences, Iceland..., but is not sufficiently quantitative...

Interwiki fix

At this edit: [1], the unicode characters of the interwikis were changed to question marks & now the English article does not link to the article in other languages. Could someone please use a bot a something to help fix that? --Mahmudmasri (talk) 17:57, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 Done: I have fixed it. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 23:40, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
