There are three different figures used in the report. Obviously it is covered by varying levels of snow, but does anyone know the official figure?-- JBellis 18:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
The 1755 eruption is covered in detail but what about the others? Seems especially relevant since a Eyjafjallajökull eruption has always triggered Katla to erupt soon after. -- 75.166.179.110 ( talk) 19:50, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
The article does not cite the monstrous claim of the discharge of the 1755 eruption. Where is this factoid from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.187.114 ( talk) 06:37, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Quick check of river discharges:
equals 266,473 m³/s total which is a little less that the external personal link suggested. I have updated the article to remove the external ref but I don't see any purpose in trying to point more directly to the information on the linked pages. I did leave a comment though so others considering adding a cite tag can see what is happening. Efficacious ( talk) 22:33, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
What is the meaning of "Katla"? 156.34.190.118 ( talk) 13:26, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
It means "dragon" apparently. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katla_(dragon) 217.83.200.243 ( talk) 17:51, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
This article has several references to Mýrdalsjökull glacier. But in Icelandic jökull means glacier, so this is saying Mýrdals glacier glacier. The article on Mýrdalsjökull is clear, but this article would benefit from changing references that say "Mýrdalsjökull glacier" to "Mýrdals glacier" (which is the phrasing in the 1911 Britannica as well) or just dropping the word glacier. I would like to balance the caution of dealing with a topical subject (Katla may errupt this year) with the Be Bold principle, so I'll leave this comment up for a few days before making the changes so check for reactions.

This is a usual problem. Actually, a name is not a noun anymore. You see this kind of thing on american maps using spanish names, english maps using german names, and if I remember it right, on maps of Indonesia and New Guinea as well. -- Chris.urs-o ( talk) 07:12, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Apparently there was a minor earthquake swarm.

This news item [1] is of interest, and documents an uptick in earthquake activity. Not quite ready to add this to the article though, lest we start over-reacting, but it seems prudent to watch this for further action. Jus da fax 03:01, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I have removed the claim that there was a dyke emplacement during November as it only had a single source. I would prefer to see a second source confirming that claim before it is added to the page. It would be appropriate to add information about the earthquakes that have happened, but I feel we should stick to the evidence and not provide unconfirmed analysis. If anyone does have a second source, preferably official, to provide confirmation of dyke emplacement, please do undo my edit and add that reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minxette ( talk • contribs) 12:04, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
In 9 July 2011 the possible subglacial eruption of Katla waa confirmed by the Icelandic Meteo Office. It was however a very small eruption, not the one everyone expected. As I live in Iceland, this was widely spoken here, but not in international media. Do you think this should be added to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irpsit ( talk • contribs) 20:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
As of today, English-language RSs in the 2011 section seem to say talk of 2011 "very small" subglacial eruption is speculative & other processes could account for the surface observations. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 15:34, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
it covers all earthquakes on iceland and not just near katla. clicking the map changes to full iceland view and clicking on a certain area centers the map on that area. the text should therefore be changed to reflect that. 84.212.111.156 ( talk) 14:49, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

According to some sources there was a huge eruption between 546 and 549.-- Ezzex ( talk) 09:37, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

I just removed a chunk of the article that primarily talks about Veddie Ash. As you can see there is no article on the matter, so I am unsure how notable it is in relation to volcanos as a whole? If it's readded then it needs expansion, and further explanation/rewriting as the sentences look as if they were cut short at some point. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 14:29, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
