2012 volcanic activity

The volcano began to show signs of activity in February 2012. Steam plumes issued on many days from Ruiz's main crater, and the volcano began to show increased seismicity. Scientists flying over the volcano noted fresh ash on the east flank of the volcano near the crater. The deposits were likely from an eruption on 22 February (probably phreatic). On 23 February a small ash plume was seen rising from the crater.[1] On 31 March 2012, the Nevados National Natural Park authority decided to shut the reserve to visitors, following the increment of the threat level from yellow to orange. This was due to the change of activity registered on the day. The orange level means the volcano could erupt within days or weeks.[citation needed]

On 8 April, meteorological authorities in Colombia increased the alert level of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano from orange to red amid concerns of a possible eruption. The move was prompted by an increase in the seismic activity of the volcano. Particular concern has been raised over the safety of areas downstream from the volcano due to recent heavy rainfall in the area that could facilitate an avalanche in the event of an eruption; however, no evacuation orders have yet been issued. The largest urban centre in the region of concern is Manizales, although the urban centres of Honda, Mariquita, Ambalema, Chinchina, Herveo, Villa Hermosa, Salgar and La Dorada could be affected by an eruption. On April 30, the volcano emitted a 2 kilometer high ash plume.

The volcano erupted in June 30, 2012.[2] According to Carlos Marquez, the director of the National Agency for Disaster and Prevention, the people in the highest danger are those from Caldas and Tolima provinces, where 2,300 people were evacuated. The eruption started at around 5:40 p.m. (local time/22:40 GTM), when the volcano spewed an 8 to 10 km smoke column, which forced the Colombian Civil Aeronautics to suspend commercial flights in the cities of Armenia, Manizales and Pereira. Caldas Governor Guido Echeverri said volcanic ash fell on villages, but there were no reports of casualties, injuries or property damage.[citation needed]

Henrik

I’d like to present you with my first RfA candidate – and a great one at that – Theleftorium. An outstanding contributor, Theleftorium has given us four featured articles (The Simpsons Game, The Simpsons Hit & Run, The Battle for Middle-earth II, and "Lisa the Vegetarian"), two featured lists (Extreme points of Sweden and List of national parks of Sweden), one featured topic (Wikipedia:Featured topics/Simpson family), 100 good articles (see User:Theleftorium/Contributions please!), and 6 good topics. He has listed all of his XFD participation at his 'contributions' page, as well as all of his pretty much solid GA reviews.

At his last RfA, Henrik faced concerns of a misunderstanding of copyright law and policy and dubious sourcing. To address these concerns, Henrik has stopped uploading the loads of non-free content and instead has become a highly active participant at the SCV noticeboard. He has cleaned up most of the articles with source reliability concerns as well. Oh, and he was a finalist of the WikiCup! He is constantly besting himself, it seems!

I strongly believe Henrik has the amount of clue necessary to become an admin, given his spread out work in over 20,000 live edits. He has 54% of those edits in the mainspace too, all of which are highly diverse - including over 190 edits to one of his FAs, Lisa the Vegetarian, and roughly 90 to Ferret legging. He has over 850 contributions to the SCV board, an overwhelming number, that shows he is clearly dedicated to improving his own self while improving the encyclopedia too.


Henrik is an excellent candidate and I believe that he will make an excellent administrator if granted the bit too.

Kudpung:

For my third ever nomination, I present Kudpung. A member of Wikipedia for five years now, but only active since mid-2009, he's a well-rounded editor with interests in content and deletion. Kudpung has contributed to five good articles (writing Malvern, Worcestershire and Malvern water, helping to write Malvern College, and working on Milford Haven and Wellingborough), dealt with translation (taking on the formidable Brontë family article), and began the Worcestershire WikiProject. A much more detailed list of his contributions to the project can be found on his userpage in the "Contribs and Userboxen" section.

Though some of Kudpung's views differ from mine, I cannot help but admire him. It seems that he puts care into every edit he makes and that's a desirable quality in an administrator. He's also got a backbone, and he's not afraid to share his opinion. But he's mature and knows when to contain himself.

Kudpung's comments always seem insightful and he seems to have quite a lot of clue. I usually find them to be well-backed and knowledgeable.

Having some 27,000 edits, Kudpung clearly has the experience to take on the job. He has diversity within that experience, with 37.5% of his edits to article space and 12% to talk, showing an interest in content while being able to discuss problems and suggestions. With more than 100 edits to three of his good articles, it's obvious that he is dedicated and here for the better of the encyclopedia.

It's undeniable that Kudpung's a strong, well-rounded editor. So it seems only logical to me that he'll be the same as an administrator.

Review for Mount Price:

In general:
  • Diction could probably be raised a bit, but that's not a major concern at all.
  • A little more active voice and a little less passive voice. You know, such and such are prepared, is associated... always more powerful and stronger as action verbs.
  • In the lead image, there are three peaks. I'm assuming the huge one to the center-left is Price, then the one next to it is Clinker... what's the third one?
The image in volcanic history is hard to read. Perhaps a slightly larger file would be more useful.
Lead:
  • which extends from the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield in the north to Watts Point in the south. - Any idea of how long this portion is? I know I for one just like using numbers as a reference - not a requirement whatsoever.
  • Is there a specific reason proper and Mount price complex are italicized?
  • If this were to happen, relief efforts would be quickly organized. - I think this is a little too much assumption. There must be a better way to suggest at it, without stating directly that relief would just occur instantly and without a doubt. It may, after all, not be a major eruption, even if there is one.
Geology
  • In contrast to most stratovolcanoes in Canada, Mount Price proper has a nearly symmetrical structure. - Citation likely needed after this statement.
  • The red colour of Mount Price proper is from oxidation of the volcanic rocks.[3] - A thoroughly dull sentence. Better as "Oxidation of the volcanic rock gave it a red color", or something similar.
  • There is also very little seismic evidence that the Juan de Fuca Plate is actively subducting. - I'm not so sure that's true... 1700 isn't so long ago in terms of geology. The area still has decently powerful, if intermittent earthquakes. I think it's actively that's bugging me in particular. Obviously it's still subducting.

Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major fault lines[3] that cover at least 90% of the country.[4] As a result, earthquakes in Iran occur often and are destructive.

Geology and history

The Iranian plateau is subjective to most types of tectonic activity, including active folding and faulting, and volcanic eruptions. It is also well known for its long history of disastrous earthquake activity. Not only have these earthquakes killed thousands but they have also lead to waste of valuable natural resources.[5] Since 1900, at least 126,000 fatalities have resulted from Iranian earthquakes.[5]
