Hi. My apologies for taking so long to get to this, but I took a look atMisti as you requested. I think it can still use some copyediting. For example, I'm looking atHuman geography:
Old roads heading from Arequipa to Chivay run along the northern/western foot of Misti, and those to Juliaca along the southern/eastern foot.[16] Inca roads from the Arequipa area passed by the volcano.[17].
It's not clear what you mean by "Old roads" and "Inca roads". Do you mean roads that exist now but were built a long time ago, or roads that no longer exist? I'm guessing the Inca roads no longer exist, but the "Old roads" do, in which case it makes sense to clarify that. Maybe something like:
Old roads heading from Arequipa to Chivay still run along the northern/western foot of Misti, and those to Juliaca along the southern/eastern foot.[16] In addition, there is still evidence of Inca roads from the Arequipa area which once passed by the volcano but are no longer in use.[17]
There are numerous dams on the Rio Chili, including the Aguada Blanca Dam and reservoir north of the volcano,[18] El Fraile and Hidroeléctrica Charcani I, II, III, IV, V and VI;[19] their hydroelectric power plants supply electricity to Arequipa.[20]
It's not clear if all of these dams are north of the volcano, or just the Aguada Blanca. Assuming the latter, maybe (filling in some information from Google Maps and possibly messing up the citations):
There are numerous dams on the Rio Chili which supply hydroelectric power to Arequipa.[20] These include Aguada Blanca dam and reservoir to the northeast,[18] as well as the El Fraile and Hidroeléctrica Charcani I, II, III, IV, V and VI dams further downstream[19]
In general, I believe in the "each paragraph should cover one topic" rule, but sometimes it makes more sense to combine a couple of related topics into a single paragraph if keeping them apart would make two awkwardly short ones. I think that's the case here, so I'd run this together with the next one, so:
Old roads heading from Arequipa to Chivay still run along the northern/western foot of Misti, and those to Juliaca along the southern/eastern foot.[16] In addition, there is still evidence of Inca roads from the Arequipa area which once passed by the volcano but are no longer usable.[17] There are numerous dams on the Rio Chili which supply hydroelectric power to Arequipa;[20] these include Aguada Blanca dam and reservoir to the northeast,[18] as well as the El Fraile and Hidroeléctrica Charcani I, II, III, IV, V and VI dams further downstream.[19]
Italian geographer Gustavo Cumin [it] noted that three small man-made structures of unknown origin in the crater were known since 1677 AD.[21] Inca ceremonial platforms on the summit associated with human sacrifices were probably destroyed by human activity around 1900,[22] although a ceremonial area was reported in 2024.[23]
I'd reword to avoid the awkward "of unknown origin ... were known". Maybe "... Cumin noted (in what year?) that three small man-made structures in the crater were known since 1677, but could not identify their origin." Did Cumin also report the ceremonial platforms at the summit, or was that somebody else? And I'd say "although another ceremonial area was reported in 2024" to make the distinction clear between this and the previously discussed ones.
In the last paragraph, where you sayThe volcano was also evaluated as a potential site for an astronomical observatory
, was that also Bailey, or somebody else? You then sayThe Misti observatory was in its time the highest permanently inhabited location on Earth
. It's not clear if we're still talking about the same "potential site for an astronomical observatory" or something else.
The selection of the volcano was motivated by the clear, calm atmosphere at Misti
more to the point, as with all astronomical observatories on mountain tops, what makes it a great spot is that it is above most of the atmosphere.
when the Observatory decided
Observatories are inanimate objects and thus incapable of deciding anything. The staff decided, or the scientists in charge of it decided, or some such.
Anyway, that's it for that section. I hope this was useful for you.RoySmith(talk)17:09, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
