File:Roque Cinchado with Teide in 2014 (1).JPG
[edit]I still think it is volcanic degassing, because the rocks at the summit are geothermally altered (colour difference to the other parts of the mountain) exactly under the starting point of the clouds (high temperature area) - and Teide is an active volcano, so degassing would not be out of the question. See eg. also Leirhnjúkur area in Iceland ( File:Leirhnjúkur 19.05.2008 13-07-56.jpg ).Reykholt (talk) 16:25, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Reykholt, thanks for your comment. I am sure that it is not. We climbed the pictured top of the volcano later (exactly fallowing the path where suggested degassing occurred) and they were no signs for volcanic activity (in last years). Also, no smells for volcanic gasses and the final, we actually saw how the normal clouds were approaching to the summit of the volcano and than spreading around summit.
- PS: I am professional volcanologist (alright, focusing about volcanoes on Mars, but still...) and I will be really, really, really, really exited if this was lava degassing. Unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to see active volcano on Tenerife (or elsewhere) :( Even on Iceland with Eyjafjallajökull I was there half year earlier :(( Best regards --Chmee2 (talk) 19:35, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- I see. When you say, you saw Teide otherwise yourself, that is fine with me.
- Otherwise, it's a question of definitions. In my understanding, a volcano is not only active, when it is erupting, but also when there are eg. gasses or hot springs like in Landmannalaugar where you also were (Torfajökull's last eruptions were in the 15th century, Krafla's in the 1980s) or even all volcanoes which have had eruptions in the Holocene. (See also GVP: "How many active volcanoes are there in the world? --- The answer to this common question depends upon use of the word "active." At least 20 volcanoes will probably be erupting as you read these words (Italy's Stromboli, for example, has been erupting for more than a thousand years); roughly 60 erupted each year through the 1990s; 154 in the full decade 1990-1999; about 550 have had historically documented eruptions; about 1300 (and perhaps more than 1500) have erupted in the Holocene (past 10,000 years); and some estimates of young seafloor volcanoes exceed a million. Because dormant intervals between major eruptions at a single volcano may last hundreds to thousands of years, dwarfing the relatively short historical record in many regions, it is misleading to restrict usage of "active volcano" to recorded human memories: we prefer to add another identifying word (e.g. "historically active" or "Holocene volcano", - http://volcano.si.edu/faq.cfm#q3 ). Krýsuvík volcanic system has eg. had its last eruptions in the 13th century, but is regarded as "active" by Thor Thordarson in "Classic Geology in Europe 3. Iceland" (p.14).
- Following these definitions, you have been hiking on active volcanoes. Teide had its last eruptions in 1909 and Torfajökull (Landmannalaugar) is also on the list of Thor Thordarson. And on its list is also included Tindfjöll/Tindfjallajökull in south Iceland, you saw it most certainly, it is north of Eyjafjallajökull. This is a volcanic system, which erupted last even not in the Holocene, but around 50.000 years ago, but it has active geothermal areas at its feet.
- BTW: I saw two volcanic eruptions in Iceland and wrote a not so small part of the article on Eyjafjallajökull and the other on its 2010 eruptions in the German Wikipedia.Reykholt (talk) 21:35, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- Of course, you are right in this. I might chose better term "active volcanic phase of eruption" instead of "active volcano". But my point was, that I was never lucky enough to see how the lava is leaving the subsurface or how is it fragmented as a result of magma degassing or water/magma interaction. Still hope that I will have some luck in some of my next trips :) Best regards --Chmee2 (talk) 10:46, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Naturschutzgebiet Kaiserbachtal am Wilden Kaiser in Kirchdorf
[edit]Hi Chmee2, you created the Category:Naturschutzgebiet Kaiserbachtal am Wilden Kaiser in Kirchdorf. Where did you get this information from? According to the Liste der Naturschutzgebiete in Tirol and the official site http://www.tiroler-schutzgebiete.at there is no Naturschutzgebiet (or any other protected area) of this name or at this location. The area is part of Naturschutzgebiet Kaisergebirge. Best wishes, --Luftschiffhafen (talk) 23:33, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Luftschiffhafen, I got the information from the entrance gate (sorry for low res image, but I deleted the one which I took on site to remember the name) and than from here (and also from here). I tried to googled the name and when I found the name on several sites, I thought it will be the proper one. However, I also noticed that the name is missing in the list of protected areas in Tirol, but I ended with the conclusion, that the list is not up to date :) If I made a mistake, I am sorry. It is not really easy to find out how the protection looks like in Austria. Best regards --Chmee2 (talk) 18:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply, I keep losing track on Commons... I don't know where the sources you mentioned get their information from, and strictly speaking it is not completely wrong. The Kaiserbachtal is indeed a protected area, just that is is part of the much larger Naturschutzgebiet Kaisergebirge. The lists on the German Wikipedia should be pretty up to date, but of course there can always be mistakes and omissions... --Luftschiffhafen (talk) 22:07, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Important message for file movers
[edit]![](http://178.128.105.246/cars-https-upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Commons_File_mover.svg/75px-Commons_File_mover.svg.png)
A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect
user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.
Possible acceptable uses of this ability:
- To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
- To perform file name swaps.
- When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)
Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.
The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect
user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.
