The Receiver Lab Telescope on Sairecabur

... that Sairecabur volcano once may have been over 7,000 metres (23,000 ft) high and today has the world's highest telescope (pictured)?

Although the article seems to have been lengthened sufficiently, recently enough to qualify, and with no obviously discernible copyvios, I noticed that the telescope in question is actually not the highest one in the world. It seems that the University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory holds that distinction, being roughly 100 meters higher in elevation. The easiest fix as I see it would be simply to change that section of the hook to "...and today has the world's highest submillimeter telescope..." Other than that issue, the hook seems fine but not particularly attention grabbing. Perhaps include the fact that the 7,000 meter elevation would have made it one of the tallest volcanoes on Earth?

@GrinandGregBearit: The first fix (addition of "submillimetre") is indeed necessary; for some reason I had forgotten to check the Purico Complex volcanoes. I am a bit wary of an overly long hook when using "one of the tallest volcanoes on Earth?". Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Jo-Jo Eumerus: Right you are. (I hadn't taken submillimeter into account when thinking about hook character length) Once you've got the hook reworded, I'll gladly sign off of the DYK.GrinandGregBearit (talk) 06:21, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
  Alright, squeezing it a little:
  - ALT1: ... that Sairecabur volcano has the world's highest submillimetre telescope (pictured) and may have been one of the world's highest volcanoes with over 7,000 metres height?
  @GrinandGregBearit: One question would be if people will read the "over 7,000 metres" as a definitive fact. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:16, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
  - ALT1 looks fine to me. If you are worried about people misreading the height component we can cut the "one of the world's highest volcanoes" part (just toss it in the relevant section of the article maybe), but I think anyone who actually clicks on the article shouldn't have too much trouble figuring out the difference. If you want to trim it down to be pretty much the same as the original just with the inclusion of submillimetre, that'll work too. Both solve my only real qualm and the highest volcano part can be found in the article so I think this one is good to go.GrinandGregBearit (talk) 17:51, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
