Names of the volcano

edit

In addition to Shiveluch and Sheveluch, NASA Earth Observatory uses the name Shivelyuch, as on the nice Landsat photo from April 2026, which I just added to our article.

Someone reverted my add of NASA's preferred name, calling it "weird spelling." Since that's the name that NASA uses, it makes sense to include it in our article. Pete Tillman (talk) 18:17, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yes it is a weird spelling. People who make photos are not experts in the whole complete world geography. A photo caption is hardly a reliable source for Wikipedia. Ho need to propagate nonstandard uncommon names. P.S. in 19th cetnury it was called (Russian: Шевелюч, romanized: Shevelyuch).--Altenmann >talk 18:45, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
P.S. you cited me out of context: I wrote "unref weird spelling". Now I added two more spellings, with adequate refs. --Altenmann >talk 18:54, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
