Capitalization of article's name edit
This article should move back to 2021 eruption of Semeru or be renamed 2021 Semeru eruption, but the current name does not follow capitalization naming convention, (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization)). For further reference, see Category:21st-century volcanic events regarding naming conventions for this sort of event. I'll gladly make the move myself if there's agreement; please ping me. --Rosiestep (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2021 (UTC) Ping Elijahandskip who made the move. --Rosiestep (talk) 20:17, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- The latter one works for me. Elijahandskip (talk) 20:35, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Possible erroneous reports of lahars as lava flows edit
Given the explosive nature of this eruption, I was initially skeptical of reports of damage caused by lava flows. From a little bit of searching, images and videos claiming to be of lava flows from this volcano actually show lahars (i.e. mudflows). I suspect that this was due to a mistranslation, since Google Translate shows that "lahar" in Indonesian has both "lava" and "volcanic mudflow" as possible translations. I know what I have here qualifies as WP:OR, but I thought it was worth bringing up, since this information. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:36, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Help with citations edit
Hi, I’m a somewhat new wiki user. I was updating the numbers, however, for some reason, [1] citation shows up as something else, so I’m not able to re-use it. And therefore, I had to create 2 citations, which were both the same things. I also kinda messed up the page once or twice but I reverted it. I believe the other one is [3] that is the same. Could someone help? Thanks.

- @Kansatria: Hi. This his how you re-use a ref. At the first instance, put the full details in, but add a name parameter like this:
- <ref name= "NAME">{{citation template}}</ref>
- and at all subsequent uses format it like:
- <ref name= "NAME"/> (ignoring the nowiki tags if you are looking at the source for this talk page).
