Hi,

Please refer to your paragraph on the article Volcanic Plugs:

''In [[Australia]], the [[Stanley, Tasmania|The Nut]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.discovertasmania.com/activities__and__attractions/popular_attractions/the_nut,_stanley |title=The Nut, Stanley |work=Discover Tasmania |publisher=[[Government of Tasmania]] |year=2011 |accessdate=30 June 2013 }}</ref> in [[Tasmania]] is a further example; along with [[Mount Warning]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.geomaps.com.au/scripts/mountwarning.php |work=Geological sites of NSW |title=Wollumbin/Mt Warning Shield Volcano |publisher=Cartoscope Pty Limited |date= |accessdate=30 June 2013 }}</ref> and a number of peaks in the [[Greater Blue Mountains Area]], including [[Mount Banks]], [[Mount Hay (New South Wales)|Mount Hay]], [[Mount Wilson, New South Wales|Mount Wilson]], [[Mount Irvine, New South Wales|Mount Irvine]], and [[Mount Tomah, New South Wales|Mount Tomah]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.geomaps.com.au/scripts/bluemountainsoverview.php |work=Geological sites of NSW |title=Blue Mountains Overview |publisher=Cartoscope Pty Limited |date= |accessdate=30 June 2013 }}</ref>
''
You are correct in describing [[Mount Warning]] and the Nut as volcanic plugs. They are vertical volcanic relics. However, the basalt remnants of the Blue Mountains mentioned are not plugs. [[Blue Mountains Basalts|But relics of a horizontal volcanic lava flow]]. With respect, I think this may be an error which needs to be adjusted. The reference you quoted "Blue Mountains Overview" names these basalt areas as flows, not plugs. Please check the geological texts. A plug is a remnant of a volcanic neck. But a lava flow is a related but different thing. kind regards, [[User:Filikovalo|Filikovalo]] ([[User talk:Filikovalo|talk]]) 09:37, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Really nice work at List of birds of King Island (Tasmania). Your creative approach has payed off. There is a whole series (hundreds) of "List of birds of ..." lists that could be treated this way. I'm looking at your work to see what would be involved in doing that other places.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  16:51, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
