Talk:Danan (volcano)

Untitled

A bit of additional information put up. I really need to find my notes on Javan volcanoes about the other Danan. And Verbeek's analysis of his samples. Also, does any Dutch speakers know the proper translation of Bootsmanrots? A report soon after the catastrophe calls it 'Black Man's Rock' (I do not remember if it's actually 'Black Man's' or 'Blackman's'), but on at least one later map, it's 'Bosun's Rock'.

<1883 photographs?

If they still exist, then they should be added to this page and/or the Krakatoa page.ZFT (talk) 22:46, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

The best photograph has been on the page for years, but it keeps getting deleted for the poorer quality woodcut. Danan may be seen in the photo in the background as an irregular ridge to the right of the erupting Perbowatan. This is the best shot of Danan known. CFLeon (talk) 00:18, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

• Danan → Danan (volcano)
• Danan (disambiguation) → Danan

– I am really not seeing the primacy of a rather obscure long-destroyed volcano (Krakatoa is famous, the individual cones are little-known) for the meaning of a word that is the name of a reasonable number of still-existing places. BD2412 T 04:30, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

• Agreed. While https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Danan doesn't show that people are clicking the hatnote, overall traffic isn't high and I don't see long-term significance of this part of Krakatoa being overwhelming compared to existing places, people, etc. Worst case, we have people who search for "Danan" click on its entry there and examine the stats later if it becomes overwhelmingly clear that this is the primary topic by usage.

• Support per nomination and Joy [shallot]. There are 13 entries listed upon the Danan (disambiguation) page, with no indication that this Krakatoa cone holds such superlative historical prominence that it dwarfs the combined notability of the remaining 12 entries. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:33, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
• Weak support the volcano has the most views of title just with "Danan" (270) with Danan: The Jungle Fighter having 128, Danan, Ethiopia having 78, Danan (woreda) having 17, Danan (Amran) having 8, Dânan having 8 and Danan, Iran having 5 but Elora Danan has 64,697[[1]].

  You shouldn't be prejudiced towards mononymous usages, readers habitually navigate to articles using surnames and given names as well. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 10:29, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

• support though I'd also propose alternatives such as Danan (Indonesia) or even Danan (Indonesian volcano) in the style of articles like Cerro Azul (Chile volcano). ceranthor 23:00, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
  • I have no objection to an alternative. I think Danan (Indonesia) sounds like a name for a town, so I would prefer Danan (Indonesian volcano) of those two. BD2412 T 00:32, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
