Holland's notes[edit]

Hi BT; been browsing S. Holland this morning; on pp. 119-120 he has a fair bit of "new" information on Hoodoo Mountain not already in this article, thought I'd drag your attention to it...Skookum1 (talk) 14:36, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Been trying to find infomation to recreate this page. Hoodoo is unlike the neighbouring peaks in the Boundary Ranges but all what I'm able to find for Hoodoo is geology info. There's quite a bit of infomation about Hoodoo's eruptive history including the formation of its lava cliffs. Black Tusk (talk) 18:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Holland has a fair bit, and note that his own refs are Geological Survey of Canada reports, which maybe are online somewhere....??Skookum1 (talk) 19:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It can probably be found in GSC and other geologic papers. Glacial influences on morphology and eruptive products of Hoodoo Mountain can found here. Black Tusk (talk) 14:11, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am starting to gather infomation and references for a major expansion. Hoodoo Mountain poses a significant threat to the local Iskut River and mining and minerial explorations. I will probably be able to create some images and maps as well. Black Tusk (talk) 15:35, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous people[edit]

I read something a while ago that Hoodoo Mountain has some indigenous history, though can't remember what First Nation it was; it might have been Tahltan. Information about legends, sacredness and so on would probably be ideal to include if any exist. Black Tusk (talk) 17:33, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I looked into this again and it appears I was thinking about the wrong mountain. It's Hoodoo Mountain in Yukon that has some indigenous history, having been the source of obsidian for making artifacts. Volcanoguy 12:33, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Last eruption[edit]

I have seen two different dates given for Hoodoo's last eruption: 7,000 years ago, which is what we currently have in the article, and 9,000 years ago. It would be nice to understand the discrepancy. Black Tusk (talk) 15:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tuya[edit]

Just a note that there is sources on the internet that describe Hoodoo Mountain as a tuya rather then a strato or composite volcano. The confusion over whether to call it a tuya likely stems from the fact that it is roughly flat on top, which gives it a somewhat tuya-like morphology. Another indication to prove it is not a tuya is the fact that Hoodoo Mountain is a long-lived volcano whereas a tuya is short-lived. Hoodoo also contains lava flows, dikes, pyroclastic ejecta, and debris flow deposits, which are present at stratovolcanoes. Black Tusk (talk) 17:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The citation for the 1st paragraph in "Geology" is questionable. The source is bivouac.com but the page on that site makes no mention of the text in the article. Has a wrong source been cited here? Where did the number 7050 in the last eruption come from? A picture for the infobox would be nice. RedWolf (talk) 18:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I added a satellite image. Four portions are from bivouac: It is considered active and could erupt in the future., a massive but gently-sloped volcano, on the north side of the Iskut River, and 74 km (46 mi) northeast of the town of Wrangell. Hoodoo is considered active because it contains seismic activity. If seismic activity exists at a volcano it is still capable of erupting. The website here mentions Hoodoo's last eruption as 7000 years ago. Black Tusk (talk) 19:54, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganizing[edit]

I'm gathering information to expand/update this article for the first time in 12 years. Once that is done I might nominate it for GA and then eventually FA if things go well. Pfly, there are streams at this volcano as well, but not nearly as many as at Level Mountain, which isn't surprising given the fact that Hoodoo Mountain is a much smaller volcano. I created stubs for the Hoodoo and Twin rivers when I last expanded/updated this article 12 years ago. Skookum1 created an article for the Craig River around the same time. There's probably more to add, especially for the Iskut River. Volcanoguy 08:51, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put it on the list! I was planning to make/improve the pages on streams coming from Level Mountain, then the rivers they feed into if need (like Nahlin River), and on down the Taku and Stikine systems. I'll look into the Hoodoo Mountain area. Looks to be around the Iskut-Stikine area, so that should fit nicely into the plan. I've been wanting to improve the Iskut River page especially, since it is a major river for the region and its WP page is basically a stub. ...anyway, sounds good! I'll keep on at my somewhat slow but hopefully fairly steady pace. Pfly (talk) 03:29, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I would make/improve the pages on streams coming from Level Mountain first. It will probably be awhile until I expand/update this article; lots of sources to go through yet lol! Volcanoguy 03:53, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pfly expanding and updating this article didn't take as long as I thought it would. I figured it would have turned into a massive article but there's not as much information as I thought there would be. The article now mentions the Iskut, Stikine, Hoodoo, Twin and Craig rivers. Volcanoguy 16:06, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay! I've been busy and not wikipedia-ing for a week or two, but should be getting back to "slow but somewhat steady" any day now lol. Pfly (talk) 21:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll start this soon. ♦ jaguar 15:31, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the article and am content in giving it an outright pass. It is well written and constructed so that even a non-volcanologist like me can read through it comfortably. The lead summarises the article, the citations are all in check and there are no grammatical errors to boot. I have made a couple of minor amendments with spelling and also unlinked saucer in the Geological studies subsection - I assume there's a proper term for this but couldn't find an article. This article clearly meets the GA criteria and will likely do well at FAC. Good work with this one! ♦ jaguar 19:35, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaguar: Thanks. I don't think saucer had to be unlinked because there doesn't seem to be a landform definition for that word. Hoodoo's summit being compared to an inverted and very shallow saucer is like comparing a shield volcano to a warrior's shield, which is what they are named after.

  • New enough GA. QPQ required. Hook fact is backed up by and present in article with the Smithsonian source. Image is appropriately licensed for Main Page use. No other textual issues spotted...but Volcanoguy, I need a review to pass this nomination. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:10, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
