I will review this article shortly. MathewTownsend (talk) 01:32, 18 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Tectonic setting
 * "This position that is not yet entirely understood." - something missing here?
 * Meant as an introduction to the second para, moved it there now. Res Mar 22:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * "pointing out that the high density of the chain's seamounts, which often overlap, runs counter to the long trail a hotspot would normally produce" - not clear to me
 * The local area is covered in seamounts small and large, as you can see from the infobox image; as opposed to other chains, which are more widely distributed. In fact I avoided saying "chains" entirely, as it is not one proper, using "group" instead. I've reworded for clarity. Res Mar 22:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * "polysemous" does this mean or relate to Polysemy?
 * Linked it. Res Mar 22:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * 1998
 * average 0.6°C - needs conversion
 * Done. Res Mar 22:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * 2011 eruption
 * Why is a paper linked in the article, instead of a footnote citation?
 * Because it's important enough for it. Res Mar 22:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Ecology
 * "named CASM (Canadian American Seamount Expedition)" - shouldn't it be the other way around? - Canadian American Seamount Expedition (CASM)
 * Done. <b style="color:#333333;">Res</b> Mar 22:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * "between 300 and 550 °C (572 and 1,022 °F) " and "35 °C (95 °F), approximately 30 °C (86 °F) " - do there have to spaces between number and degree here? (I know its a template - so there's no way around that?)
 * Yeah, although it's possible to do without the template, I think this looks fine...<span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><b style="color:#333333;">Res</b> Mar 22:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * General comments
 * I personally don't like curly quotes but there's no rule that I know of.
 * It's a template :S <span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><b style="color:#333333;">Res</b> Mar 22:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Altogether a wonderful article! I made some edits that you are free to change.
 * Temporarily on hold.
