If Mount Nyiragongo has erupted a mere 3 years ago, wouldn't it be considered active, not dormant? Redxiv 07:43, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC) omac dormant —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.118.143.8 (talk) 08:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
GA Reassessment
This discussion is
- The article is largely uncited. Half of it contains no citations at all.
- From the lead: "Nyiragongo and nearby Nyamuragira are together responsible for 40% of Africa's historical volcanic eruptions." Where did this information come from? It's not mentioned again in the body of the article.
- There has been a request for citation in place since September 2007.
- Why is there no information on the 2007 eruption? What about eruptions before 1977?
- The article should deal consistently with units of measurement. The infobox provides a conversion from metric to imperial, but the article itself does not. "... Nyiragongo's lava flows may race downhill at up to 60 miles per hour (up to 100 km/h)" presents imperial measurements first, whereas the rest of the article favours metric. The spelling of meter is not consistent; sometimes it's "meter" and sometimes it's "metre".
- It is unnecessary and distracting to link common words like "gas", or "fluid".

low viscosity but steep slopes - why?
If the volcano has characteristic low viscosity flows, this typically leads to broad flat cones. Why is this cone steep? 96.252.103.113 (talk) 19:00, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Probably there have been past eruptions with high viscosity flows. --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 01:44, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

What is a lava bench?
The first paragraph refers to lava benches but Wikipedia has no page to explain that term. I've looked it up now, but shouldn't someone create a page? Ed8r (talk) 17:20, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
References in popular culture
Would it be good to include a section for references in pop culture? (Novel and movie Congo, etc.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.155.48 (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
