Name
The name of the mountain is Misti. In Spanish, article El is added almost to all mountains. Don't get confused. Huhsunqu 15:09, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- That doesn't tally with the usage in the article, nor with the capital letter. Regardless of the function of the "El" in Spanish, common usage seems to be to call the mountain "El Misti" in English (only one incoming link points to "Misti" and that one's irrelevant, for instance). The next commonest name seems to be "Misti Volcano", which I don't like at all. --Stemonitis 15:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
The name El Misti does not mean or even imply "the mistful one". "Misti" is a word of Quechua origin meaning something more inline with "the great lord" or "the great one" This is a name that was given to the volcano sometime during the colonial period. The original (aboriginal) name is a disputed matter. It is simply a coincidence that the Quechua word "misti" is similar to the english word "mist". Incidentally, the Spanish word for "mist" is "neblina".

Visibility of the mountains
These impressive mountains, located northeast of Arequipa, are visible almost year-round, but especially during winter (May-September).
Believe me, I live here and the 3 mountains are visible all year. --200.121.82.203 (talk) 23:51, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Abstracts
Questions
A few questions to ask:
- Should the vegetation paragraph be expanded with the information from Rauh 1958 regarding individual species?
- The sacrifices on Misti, how do we connect them to the 1440-1470 eruption?
- Do we include a mention of this thing?
- This source has interesting information on the first inhabitants, but Google search tells me that they might have taken the text from somewhere else.
- Is this discussion of the significance of the meteorological observatory worth mentioning?
- This source, if integrated, might need a careful formulation.
- There is some back-and-forth about the Cobeñas 2012 source.
- Does someone know Oskar E. Busch? He might be a reliable source for mountaineering-related information.
- This book discusses a bit more the etymology, but I can't say whether the author is reliable.
- This book can be used to expand the discussion of mummies if we want to.
Finally, the article currently discusses the specific hazards to Arequipa in a region-wide average; mining INGEMMET could yield information on individual city sectors if we want to, but it would greatly lengthen the article. And a history of human settlement in the area might be nice too. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:20, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Questions #2
- De Silva, S. L., & Francis, P. (1991). Volcanoes of the central Andes (Vol. 220). Berlin: Springer-Verlag. is a pertinent book, but it's unclear how much it adds relative to other sources. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:22, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Valdivia, Juan Gualberto. El Misti, El Chili y el Yanacocha. Editorial UNSA, 1996. may not be pertinent. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:22, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- "Diversidad biológica de la Reserva Nacional de Salinas y Aguada Blanca" needs a reliability check. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:22, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
