Mount Vesuvius was one of the Geography and places good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

While going through the article, I noticed that the source claiming that Mount Vesuvius is the most dangerous in the world is about 15 years old. Is this still the most credible source to use for this information? Especially since it was retrieved from 'The Guardian' and most newspapers have some sort of bias to them, intentional or not. Source in question: McGuire, Bill (October 16, 2003). "In the shadow of the volcano". The Guardian. Retrieved May 8, 2010. Ebrasmussen (talk) 00:57, 18 September 2018 (UTC) Priority 1 (top) |

Does anyone have a problem with the removal of the recently added image of the crater? https://www.duhoctrungquoc.vn/wiki/en/File:Mount_Vesuvius_crater.jpg
1. It does not really illustrate either the general structure of the caldera, nor does it show anything specific that would be of interest. 2. I’m not sure if it’s a faithful reproduction of the original photo or if the original has aged poorly (the date stamp shows that the photo was taken in 1994), but the image has a strong magenta bias. This makes it, for lack of a better term, aesthetically displeasing. No offence meant, I just found it particularly visually jarring to scroll down and see two nearby images with such radically different colour balances. SmallMossie (talk) 23:55, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Need to modify the listing of 20th century Vesuvius eruptions. The March-June 1933 eruption is not given. See Zies (1934) - Volcanic activity in 1933. Transactions, American Geophysical Union, p. 246.

"Vesuvius has erupted many times since, and is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted within the last hundred years."
Hello! I could be wrong, but I believe this sentence contradicts the wiki article for Mount Etna, which is also on the European mainland and has erupted multiple times in the past century and quite recently.
Thank you for contributing.

Can someone add a sentence or two about Parthenope (Siren) to the Mythology section please? 2601:647:CD00:DF0:D14E:6DDB:3FA7:8EEE (talk) 02:04, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
In References "[full citation needed]" follows "CIL x.1, 3806" the citation for "An inscription from Capua" in Section #1 Mythology. That appears to be the accepted citation form.

GA from 2006. Numerous uncited material in sections such as the Formation, Casualties, Later Eruptions, National Park, and more amongst other problems. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:51, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
The original source may list the picture as a cart on the Mt.Vesuvius, but the cart literally has ETNA written over it. Most likely is a picture of something similar on Mt.Etna. 82.84.58.225 (talk) 13:26, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
