Not Enough

This article is very small. Not enough information is provided to the readers. Should include more detail about what type of volcano it is and its history. It would be interesting to also see information how active it is now and why it was named Tequila Volcan. --Lizvillaloboss (talk) 23:41, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Extremely Broad

Information was too broad, not going into depth in certain key factors such as what a Stratovolcano or Composite Volcano is, history of the volcano, relevant information regarding the surrounding area, or geological features such as the volcano's relationship to the areas plate boundary. Another area that will need updating will be the cited sources; no source is peered reviewed. Alexsosaaa (talk) 22:53, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Needs More Information

This article is short and broad. There is room for more information such as the impact of the last eruption of the volcano, the geological details that caused it, and what are the surrounding communities around the volcano. More details and references should be added to this article. Oceaneyes02 (talk) 00:28, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Sources & Citations

Here are some additional sources that you may want to add to your references. There is little information on Tequila Volcano, but there are some interesting facts that you can find about it. You may talk about these facts and perhaps when you do more research you may find more information regarding the Tequila Volcano. Looking at Tequila Volcano's surroundings is not a bad idea either, you may gain historical information of what had happen around it. KawaiiKoreaboo (talk) 04:50, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Neither of these are reviewed sources and thus are not credible. One is essentially a travel blog, the other has a few facts about the mountain but with no citation for where that information came from. HydrogeologyProf (talk) 00:20, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

- To get a better sense of what the "Tequila Volcano" really is, the article needs to go into more depth of what a Stratovolcano is, and how it forms.

Neither of these websites are peer-reviewed sources. I'll accept the Oregon State website, since it is academic, but Basic Planet is not a credible source. HydrogeologyProf (talk) 00:14, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

- As a a side note and transition into what would be the next topic in the article (history of the Tequila Volcano), I would briefly touch upon the history of other stratovolcanoes in order to get that sense of intensity with this volcano and compare it to others.

You can do so much with this article because the information there is not much at all. The citations on this talk page would be very helpful for you to use. It would make the article much more interesting to have more images of the volcano, the area around it, and people's relations to the area. Some important ideas you should consider including could be: geography near Tequila Volcano (climate, land type...etc), origin of the name "Tequila", frequency of eruption, location on the map (which cities/towns it is close by), what type of volcano it is, how dangerous it is, and how people have dealt with its existence, all IN MORE DETAIL. Creating separate sections will make it easier for people to read and find specific information they are looking for. Miramarble95 (talk) 20:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Melissa's Peer Edit

This article has very little information. So I do think it is a good idea that you explain what a stratovolcano is. Can add some geography other than the volcanoes, can include some climate information so we have a better understanding of the area. But you did a good job of finding sources that can help improve your article because is is very general information that was given. Add some of the eruption activity to help educate us a little more. I like how you talked about plate boundaries because that is a huge part to your volcano. I like how you mentioned the current information about the volcano, whether it still poses a threat or not. You can discuss what that means exactly for the volcano and the area in which it lies. All the information you are adding is helpful but talk a little more about the area in which it lies in so we get more of a sense of what we are dealing with.

The article is very broad and has little information meaning you can add a lot of good information to give the reader more background on your topic. I think its great that the article gives the information of where there volcano lies but it can be helpful to add more information about the geography. This would allow the reader to have more background information on the volcano leading us towards knowing specific facts about the volcano itself. The way the article starts by explaining what the tequila volcano is is a great because it allows the reader to know what the rest of the article will be about but I think that it would be helpful if a bit more information is added. Its helpful that it mentions what kind of volcano it is, maybe you can just connect it back to where you mention its not dangerous and explain why for the fact that those type of volcanoes (composite) aren't as dangerous and maybe just add a little information of composite volcanoes to give the reader background on the kind of volcano and the way it connect to the volcano you are talking about in the article.

Peer Edit

I SEE THAT THERE IS AN IDEA. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO EXPLAIN HOW THE VOLCANO EMERGED, ITS FORMATION, WHERE IS LOCATED, WHAT KIND OF VOLCANO IS, WAS IT DAUGEROUS? I'LL RECOMEND TO DO MORE RESEARCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS LITTLE INFORMATION.

Peer Review

You have a very attracting bold title, calls my attention because when you read Tequila Volcano it sounds very interesting and appealing. Although, I do believe a different title could be helpful, a title that will let readers know exactly what a tequila volcano is or mention where it is located perhaps. If i were to make any changes to this article I would most definitely add more information to the article about this location, mention interesting facts to keep readers interested, perhaps upload a picture so readers have an idea of what this looks like. The picture that is already there has multiple information and its very helpful which I like but as mentioned a picture of the actual volcano would be great. Also, including more credible resources maybe some resources that would have more information regarding this article would be great. Overall, keep the work up guys and give some interesting facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pup shilo (talk • contribs) 23:08, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

The article is very short, therefore more information should be added about stratovolcanoes. Your post is very organized and easy to understand. There are a few grammatical errors but overall great post! Sara916 (talk) 06:06, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review and Suggestions

Like many other users have stated, the article needs more detailed information regarding the volcano. It also need sections that describe the various important aspects of the volcano and pictures. All the information in the article needs to be cited with credible and reliable sources. There is a lot that can be done to make this article more informative and interesting. Good luck.

Review

Your post has great information and is very detailed. I would just check your grammar and se if there are any words missing or if you can change words. For example, in this sentence "Stratovolcanoes, also referred to as Composite Volcanoes, are the "iconically" conical-shaped volcanoes, found most commonly along subduction zones, Stratovolcanoes are composed of steeply dipping layers of lava, hardened ash, and other material that erupted from the main vent such as tephra and pumice" I would insert the word "...volcanoes, and are most commonly found along subduction zones" and then change the comma to a period.
