Confusing dates[edit]

I'm having trouble understanding the following:

The first phreatic eruptions began in November 1990, and after inflation of the summit area, fresh lava began to emerge on June 20 1990.

This sentance seems to be slightly contradictory. The sentance is either written in the wrong order or the dates are wrong. KirbyMeister 01:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed according to chronology at http://hakone.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/unzen/chr-1.htm. HTH, Jim_Lockhart 02:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

contradictory death toll[edit]

At the beginning it says 44 people were killed. In the middle of the article it says 43. Which one is it? Robin Chen 06:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It appears sources say "either 41 or 42 people" died in the incident, see for instance the well-sourced Harry Glicken article. Yes, User:Robin Chen, this article would be improved by making this more clear. CapnZapp (talk) 05:41, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

When was the first reported eruption? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.169.41.33 (talk) 14:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Reassessment[edit]

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Mount Unzen/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of October 12, 2008, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

With not even a single inline citation, this article fails 2b of the good article criteria.

There is an external link in the first paragraph of 1990-1995. External links should only appear in the External links section.

The article should be consistent about the spelling of meters/metres.

"Currently its highest peaks are Fugendake (普賢岳) at 2,502.365 meters and Heisei Shinzan (平成新山) at 1486.235 meters." Seems like an excessive and unnecessary level of precision.

Christian Massacre[edit]

I was surprised to find there was no mention on the mass murder of Japanese christians that took place on mount Unzen (17th century?). I am not well informed about the subject, so I don't feel qualified to write about it, but it seems that it would be worth mentioning. Here are some random references I found, though not of academic quality. No reference of the event in the Japanese wiki of Mount Unzen (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9B%B2%E4%BB%99%E5%B2%B3) at this writing.

"The Martyrs of Unzen (29 Christians drowned to death in the Shimabara river or scalded to death in the sulphur springs of Unzen)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Japan

"Did you know? In the early 17th century, when the then rulers began their crackdown on Christianity, many Christian converts were thrown into the boiling Unzen Hell. " http://www.ngs-kenkanren.com/eng/cs3.html

"During the depression of Jigoku (1627-1632) conducted by Shigemasa Matsukura, many Christians were killed. Though it is impossible now to indicate the exact place in which many Christians suffered martyrdom, two monumental stones were placed in "Oito-jigoku" to honor the martyrs." http://www.unzen.org/e_ver/history.html

Clearly related to The Shimabara Rebellion "The Shimabara Rebellion (島原の乱 Shimabara no ran) was an uprising largely involving Japanese peasants, most of them Catholic Christians, in 1637–1638 during the Edo period." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimabara_Rebellion

I was also surprised, not only by that lack of history, but also the lack of any mention that links Mt. Unzen to the sulfur springs in the area, the hot spring baths, and the associated resorts. If an editor can find some good sources and add the missing information, the article and readers would surely benefit. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
