Your plan on editing this article is good. I agree that citations need to be added to several places, and the formality of certain sections could be improved.

White Smokers:

I suggest rephrasing the sentence suggesting that white smokers are lower-temperature because they are "probably" more distant from their heat source - from my research (similar content), it seems like this is a generally accepted reason. The "probably" isn't needed.

Biology of Hydrothermal Vents:

This section needs citations. Consider looking at Extremophile or User:RMWilkens/Ocean chemistry for sources.

Overall, the main issue I see with this article is lack of citations. You should be able to fix this and keep a lot of the original content, so long as you can find sources to back it up. Good work so far!
