I have removed the Good Article status from this article, as even a cursory glance indicates a lot of (probably minor) issues which should have been spotted and corrected before this was promoted. I have noted some findings, which are not an exhaustive list, at

Well, it seems to have taken the reviewer at most half an hour, as they were still busy with another GA review at 13.54 on 10 October, and started and passed this GA review in one go at 14.26 the same day. That's rather fast to judge a 100 kB article with 206 references...

Jo-Jo Eumerus, how would you like to proceed here? Possibilities include fixing the identified issues (and perhaps doing a review for more), and then renominating, or treating this as a reversion and putting the nomination back into the pool of unreviewed nominations to look for a new and competent reviewer (this latter way it retains its seniority). Please let me know your preference. I'll drop a note on the reviewer's page letting them know about the reversion and suggesting that they gain more experience in creating and improving articles before they do another review, given what they missed in this one.

@
BlueMoonset: I was thinking of renominating this, but as
Khajidha noted there are some prose problems that I cannot easily resolve on my own. I could ask for copyediting, but where? (In addition, now that I checked GS a bit more, there are some newer sources I may need to review). So I am thinking of renominating the article, but not immediately.

Took a stab at updating it and compiled some unused sources on my talk page. @
Nikkimaria: Well, the article was already copyedited before I nominated it for GA for the first time, so I am not sure if a second pass would necessarily catch all problems that persisted.

Jo-Jo Eumerus, I didn't look at how long it had run when I posted back in October. Looking at it now, it had nearly nine hours on the front page, and as the lead hook at that, which to me is definitely too long to warrant a new run. It's longer than an article would get if we were doing three sets a day, and very close to the two sets length (and we were running two sets earlier in the year). Sorry this isn't better news.

This is about
Giormark2's
. I am not sure that we can count a single plume as an "eruption"; Lascar is one of these volcanoes that emit plumes all the time, and even if we do, we should probably describe it instead of just saying "eruption". FWIW,
GVP doesn't say "eruption" and
SERNAGEOMIN merely bumped their warning levels a bit.

@
Jo-Jo Eumerus: According to an
article by the US National Parks service, Volcanic plumes of ash and/or rock may count as a phreatic eruption should it be caused by "steam explosions due to the superheating of groundwater by a magmatic source". However, I could not find any reliable sources regarding the cause of the recent plumes yet, so I will agree with you to mention it as a plume or simply as "increased volcanic activity" for now.
