Assignment 1
Content: This article contains some relevant information about Canary hotspots, as it entails a brief introduction providing a basis of what these hotspots are, as well as some recent activity indicated by the bold subtitle. However, there is definitely room for improvement regarding elaborating on the recent activity section and adding information about evolution over time. The most recent information about the Canary hotspots is from 2012, after a series of eruptions occurred, but no information over the last 11 years has been added to this article. In addition, the article does not provide information about the Canary hotspots over time, as it merely mentions its formation 70 million years ago and fast forwards to 2011-2012: information regarding the hotspots' lifespan is critically needed. In terms of graphics, the one provided is lacking, as it is simply a world map with dots representing hotspots, with the Canary hotspot indicated by number 18. To better relay information about the Canary hotspots, graphics like the structure of the canary hotspots, their depth, or their location overtime, may be useful.

Tone: The tone of this article is informative, as the author conveys information about the Canary hotspots to the audience through facts and a diagram.

Sources: Although two references are provided, they are both the same document, which does not show up when the link is clicked. These duplicate sources should be deleted and at least two recent sources should be used to edit this article.

Talk page: Although this article does have some information dating up to 2012, the talk page has been inactive since 2008. I introduced myself in the talk page and stated my goals for this article. Dneal03 (talk) 18:24, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
