Disagree with speedy deletion

I disagree with the speedy deletion nomination of this page. The tag is completely wrong- this is not a non-notable group of people, at all, it is a description of the different types of volcanic eruptions. There is no reason to delete this page, unless it is original research, which I do not believe it is. It needs sources, wikifying and sections, but the content of the article and its style of writing is sound. I will now contact the page author to ask them about sources.

this article adds nothing

to the information already available in Volcano. Paul 16:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have not read the article from start to end, but I cannot see this information anywhere. Could you be more precise? Where is it explained in the Volcano article? J Milburn 16:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

I am currently in the process of rewriting the article, so that it is not a copyright violation, in my sandbox. Please do not delete it in the mean time. J Milburn 17:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. J Milburn 17:24, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

much better

Good work - thanks for cleaning it up. Paul 17:28, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hawaiian eruption

In compiling information from various places on Wikipedia to improve Hawaiian eruption beyond stub status, I removed the description of Hawaiian eruptions from this page because it appeared to be WP:COPYVIO from a book called Geology Super Review. Further research, however, appears to reveal that the original source of the text was a U.S. government publication. So I'll restore the text but add a link to the above USGS glossary. Sorry for the confusion. PubliusFL 20:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All information was originally copied from the link at the bottom by a new editor, and then edited by me to stop it being a copyvio. I'll move the external link to the references section. J Milburn 20:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is the difference?

It is not clear what is the the difference between Plinian and Vesuvian types of eruptions. Aren't these two names of one type? After all, the Plinian was named after the Mount Vesuvius eruption first description by Pliny the Younger.

I agree with the unsigned comment. I've read they were actually named for Pliny the Elder who died during the 79 eruption. I'm removing Vesuvian from the list. Anynobody 09:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
