Timing

"Remnants of magma intrusions as young as 7 billion years old can be found at the lake", this has to be wrong as Earth doesn't have rock formations that old. Is it a typo for million? ϢereSpielChequers 00:38, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to presume based on the surrounding context and the obvious that "million" is meant. Fixed accordingly. Juliancolton (talk) 02:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you both, that was indeed supposed to be 7 million. ceranthor 03:15, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

million years ago

We have both "mya" (linked) and "million years ago" in the article. Should we stick with one or the other? Graham Colm (talk) 18:46, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"poorly glaciated mountains"

What does "poorly glaciated" mean? Is it simply a standard expression I haven't heard before (in which case a link might help)? Does it mean that the result of the glaciation is atypical? Does it mean that the glacier was atypical? I'm partly curious and partly concerned about the whether the term would be understood by readers.--Northernhenge (talk) 18:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Western Chile

"This most active section of the Andes runs through central and western Chile,"

Western Chile seems like a rather strange concept. Which part of Chile is western Chile ? Anyway, this volcano or caldera is shown on the map as being on or close to the Argentinian frontier. Surely that is eastern Chile ?Eregli bob (talk) 03:13, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Loma Seca Tuff

stumbled onto this, not sure if it's any use - or even if it has been cited already? EdwardLane (talk) 21:14, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's been cited already, as "Hildreth".Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 21:23, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing could be improved, not up to FA quality.

In my opinion, the referencing in this article could really use some work. For starters, the inline SFN references aren't linked using a proper template, leading to it not being very clear what publication is being referenced. Also, there is a mix of SFNs and full citations within inline references, which is inconsistent. I think the prose is good enough, but the referencing (including the Bibliography, which has inconsistent cite journal citations in terms of name and date formats) is not nearly up to FA quality.

I have added this article to FARGIVEN.

I don't think that not using the reference templates makes the citation style broken or inconsistent. I did standardize the name and date format a bit. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:07, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Parking for future reference this list of potential sources. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
BhamBoi: Linking short notes is not a requirement. It is also common to use a consistent format of using inline references for websites, and short notes for journal articles, but some of the journal articles are missed here, and should be converted to short notes. That would require a minor amount of work. None of that is enough to warrant a WP:FARGIVEN. On the other hand, if there is a failure of comprehensiveness per the list of sources given by Jo-Jo, that would be. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:57, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
