Naming convention for mount eruptions.

Halo everyone, recently I moved 1257 Samalas eruption to 1257 eruption of Mount Samalas because I read two other similarly titled 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora and 1883 eruption of Krakatoa and I thought "<year> eruption of <mount name>" was the correct naming convention. But after @Jo-Jo Eumerus: notified me, I started to search around and found there was really no naming convention for the mount eruptions. So here's a list of some titles that I found, and would like to ask you guys what's the best convention for these titles.

• 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull
• 2011 Nabro eruption
• 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens
• Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 - this is an exception case
• 2011 eruption of Grímsvötn
• 2014–2015 eruption of Bárðarbunga
• 2018 lower Puna eruption
• 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera
• 2014–15 eruption of Fogo
• 946 eruption of Paektu Mountain
• 2011–12 El Hierro eruption
• 2010 eruptions of Mount Merapi
• 1888 eruption of Mount Bandai
• 2017–2018 eruptions of Mount Agung
• 2011 Puyehue-Cordón Caulle eruption
• 2012 Kermadec Islands eruption
• 2014 Mount Ontake eruption
• 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo
• 1955 Hawaiian submarine eruption
• 1912 Novarupta eruption
• 2014 Kelud eruption
• 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz
• 2018 Volcán de Fuego eruption
• 1452/1453 Kuwae eruption

PS: I agree to whatever convention you guys come up with, including reverting back to 1257 Samalas eruption. Thanks. Bennylin (talk) 20:38, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

For what it's worth I endorse the name "1257 Samalas eruption" for that article per the WP:COMMONNAME arguments elucidated on User talk:Bennylin#1257 eruption of Mount Samalas. That said, as further expanded there in some topics the "X eruption of Y" name is more common; I wonder if this is a case of Wikipedia feeding back on how people call an event.

Discussion of an Argentine speleology source at the reliable sources noticeboard

There is a discussion on the reliability of an Argentine speleology publication from Carlos Benedetto of the Instituto Argentino de Investigaciones Espeleológicas (IN.A.E.) at the reliable sources noticeboard. If you are interested, please participate at WP:RSN § Argentine speleology source. — Newslinger talk 09:58, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

List of volcanic settlements

List of volcanic settlements (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Old, orphaned article from 2013 without a single source. Apparently created in Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 May 3#Category:Volcanic settlements, hence the lack of a source. I've never seen any source that classifies cities by This category does not include settlements merely threatened by volcanic activity but which are located at a distance away, and not located on the volcanic structure itself, although sources that discuss settlements threatened by volcanoes certainly exist. Some noteworthy omissions such as Honolulu (Honolulu Volcanic Series), too. I am thinking this should be deleted as WP:OR; anyone?

(Pinging participants in the category discussion: @Od Mishehu, The Bushranger, Gilgamesh, Avenue, and Ucucha:) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:44, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

There is a regular "Cities on Volcanoes" conference (https://www.citiesonvolcanoes10.com/), but that also focusses on cities threatened by volcanoes, not just built on top of them. Maybe it would be worth refocussing the list on settlements threatened by volcanoes? We have a volcanic hazards article, but it says little about settlements, and nothing about particular cities. --Avenue (talk) 02:55, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
