Huaynaputina (pictured) is a volcano in southern Peru. Lying in the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, it was formed by the subduction of the oceanic Nazca Plate under the continental South American Plate. Huaynaputina is a group of small volcanic craters within an amphitheatre-shaped structure. During the last 11,700 years, the Holocene, Huaynaputina has erupted several times, most significantly on 19 February 1600 – the largest eruption ever recorded in South America. This killed at least 1,000 people and buried the surrounding area under 2 metres (7 ft) of volcanic rock. The eruption caused cold temperatures in parts of Europe, Asia and the Americas, and may have played a role in the onset of the Little Ice Age. The volcano has not erupted since 1600. The Peruvian Geophysical Institute announced in 2017 that Huaynaputina would be monitored by the Southern Volcanological Observatory, and seismic observation began in 2019. (Full article...)

Hi Jo-Jo Eumerus and congratulations. A draft blurb for this article is above. Thoughts, comments and edits from you or from anyone else interested are welcome. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:22, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Gog the Mild:I've rewritten it a little. If I may ask, this should only run on a 19th of February (I am not sure if 2600 or 2100 would be the ideal year...)Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:02, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Jo-Jo Eumerus, that looks good to me, thanks. If you want to reserve a date, you should get it up on potential TFAs. Feb 1 2100 sounds good. Otherwise it is liable to get scheduled for TFA for a more random date. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:12, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- @WP:TFA coordinators See, I didn't know that one could schedule a TFA 79 years ahead. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:58, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

- Ha, we are so well organised (: Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:09, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- We could even schedule it for every ten years or so until 2600. The TFA coordinators are all powerful. Mah-wa-ha-haa! Gog the Mild (talk) 14:27, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Jo-Jo Eumerus, on a serious note, I am scheduling August and have it pencilled in for the 4th. I note that it isn't in "potentials", so is that OK, or should I scratch it? Gog the Mild (talk) 12:23, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Gog the Mild:Eh, I'd scratch it. It has nothing to do with August, really. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:26, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
