Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Klyuchevskaya Sopka — The claim that Klyuchevskaya Sopka is the highest mountain of Siberia is incorrect; Belukha Mountain is higher.

Klyuchevskaya Sopka — The claim that no other ascents were recorded until 1931, when several climbers were killed by flying lava on the descent, is inaccurate; there were earlier ascents and the 1931 fatal incident by flying lava is not widely recorded.

Llullaillaco — The entry states Llullaillaco is the 'second-highest active volcano globally' and 'second-highest active volcano in the world, after Ojos del Salado.' This is factually incorrect because Ojos del Salado's activity status is debated, and Monte Pissis is sometim

Mayon — The entry incorrectly states that Mayon was the first national park in the Philippines; the first national park was Mount Arayat National Park, established in 1933.

Misti — The entry incorrectly states that the mummies on Misti form the largest known Inca human sacrifice; the largest known is the Llullaillaco mummies.

Mount Ararat — The prominence claim is incorrect: Mount Ararat is not the third most prominent mountain in West Asia behind Elbrus and Damavand; it is actually the fourth, after Elbrus, Damavand, and Mount Sabalan.

Mount Aso — The entry states that over the past 70 years, only the northernmost crater of Nakadake has been active, but historically the first crater has been the most active and the claim about the northernmost crater is inaccurate.

Mount Aso — The last eruption is listed as 20 October 2021, but Mount Aso also erupted on 14 October 2021 and had subsequent minor activity in 2022 and 2023, making the statement outdated or incomplete.

Mount Baker — The claim that Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens is incorrect; it is after Mount Rainier.

Mount Baker — The claim that the snow and ice volume of Mount Baker exceeds that of all other Cascades volcanoes except Rainier combined is incorrect; it is simply the second largest after Rainier, not exceeding the combined volume of all others.

Mount Damavand — The claim that Mount Damavand is the highest volcano in Asia is incorrect; it is not the highest volcano in Asia.

Mount Damavand — The last eruption date 'Around 5300 BCE' is not definitively established; the most recent eruption is often cited as around 5350 BCE or earlier, with uncertain precise dating.
