Misti as seen from Arequipa

... that Misti (pictured) is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world? Source: considerando además que al volcán Misti se le considera el más peligro del Perú y uno de los más peligrosos del mundo, por la gran cantidad de personas que habitan tan cerca al edificio volcánico

5x expanded by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Self-nominated at 11:36, 22 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Misti; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

The full review is to follow (a quick check didn't find red flags), but I wonder if the hook could be revised. The hook is only cited to a single source, so for such a strong claim (which I don't doubt, this is more to avoid an ERRORS situation) I'd like to see a few more sources that also verify it.

Added a QPQ. Sources that verify the "one of the most dangerous" claim include [1][2][3]. Not supporting the exact claim, but this one shows that Arequipa is one of the three closest cities to an active volcano (and its population has since grown) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that should work. Just add them to the article because ideally such a strong claim like "one of the most dangerous in the world" would require multiple citations. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:50, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added one of these sources for now. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:44, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that should be better. Image is okay, article is okay (GA'd on time), hook is cited inline and interesting. I can't understand Spanish so AGF on the sources. QPQ has been done. No close paraphrasing found (Earwig only detected false positives due to the References coming up as hits for some reason).

Korff's The Ascent of Misti

"Korff, S. A. "The Ascent of Misti." The New West Coast Leader 23.1208 (1935): 14-15." is a source with some unique information, but I am not sure if it can be put in Wikipedia's voice. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:39, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

French source

"Boutin, Pierre. "L'éruption du politique au pied d'un volcan inca, le Misti (1460-1470)." Rencontres (2007): 177-194." might have some useful information on the effect of the Misti eruption on Inka Yupanqui, but I can't read French very well. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:12, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

El Comercio-¡Subieron al Misti en Bicicleta!

Does this source actually exist anywhere? And even if it does, what makes it a WP:RS? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:00, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
