Interior of Incapillo Incapillo is a Pleistocene-age caldera – a depression formed by the collapse of a volcano – in La Rioja Province, Argentina. It is part of the southernmost volcanic centre in the Andean Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ). Subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate is responsible for most of the volcanism in the CVZ. Volcanism commenced in the Incapillo region 6.5 million years ago, forming the high volcanic edifices of Monte Pissis, Cerro Bonete Chico and Sierra de Veladero. Incapillo is known to have erupted the Incapillo ignimbrite 0.52 ± 0.03 and 0.51 ± 0.04 million years ago; this has a total volume of about 20.4 cubic kilometres (4.9 cu mi). A caldera with dimensions of 5 by 6 kilometres (3.1 mi × 3.7 mi) formed during the eruptions. Later volcanism generated more lava domes within the caldera and a debris flow in the Sierra de Veladero. The lake within the caldera may overlie an area of ongoing hydrothermal activity. (Full article...) Recently featured: Ronald Reagan Marasmius rotula The Ecstatic

The green kingfisher (Chloroceryle americana) is a species of bird in the kingfisher family, Alcedinidae. It is found from in the southern United States, south through Central America, and in every mainland South American country except for Chile. The green kingfisher is about 20 cm (7.9 in) long and weighs about 35 to 40 g (1.2 to 1.4 oz), with females being larger and heavier than males. It has various vocalisations, including one described as resembling "the striking of two pebbles together" and another as "a harsh, buzzy scold". This male green kingfisher, a member of the C. a. americana subspecies, was spotted close to the Cristalino River in Pantanal, Brazil. Photograph credit: Charles J.

June 12: Independence day in Philipines should link to Araw ng Kalayaan, rather than to Independence Day, which lists all independence days for all countries. Quacks Like a Duck 15:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it should be Independence Day (Philippines). --Howard the Duck 12:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

In the aftermath of the bombing of Yugoslavia and the Kosovo War, the NATO-led Kosovo Force entered Kosovo with a mandate of establishing a secure environment for the recently self-proclaimed, independent and partially recognized country.

This is nonsense of the highest order. Kosovo is not an independent country, and even if it were, it surely was not in 1999, and even if Kosovo were an independent country in 1999, KFOR didn't have a mandate to establish a secure environment for it.

KFOR's mandate was defined in the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244. I suggest the following, highly neutral, wording:

In the aftermath of the bombing of Yugoslavia and the Kosovo War, the NATO-led Kosovo Force entered Kosovo with a mandate of implementing the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244.
