  • Coverage and factuality: 6
Covers things well but is not properly referenced
  • Writing style: 9
Well written except for a few small areas
  • Structure: 7
Tiny "Before 1883" section and oddly placed "Earlier eruptions" (merge the two?) - some reordering needed
  • Aesthetics: 8
Some nice images and generally well done, but could do with at least one more image (an overhead map comparison?)
  • Overall: 7

Badly needs references and could do with restructuring. violet/riga 23:24, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Coverage and factuality: 8
Covers things nicely, but contains a contradiction as to whether the eruption was heard or felt in Australia (difference between lead and section of article). Has one listed ref at bottom, a few in text, needs more, but better than some.
  • Writing style: 9
A few odd phrases (as far distant as), and a few jargon words not explained. Spelling, grammar okay. Keeps interest.
  • Structure: 9
Proper table in well-sized lead. Good use of infobox, images and sectioning. Could do with slightly more images.
  • Aesthetics: 9
Nice images and table style and generally attractive.
  • Overall: 9
Good overal, but needs a copyedit and a fix of the references. - Mgm|(talk) 23:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
