South Arch volcanic field
[edit]- ... that the weight of the volcanoes of Hawaii is causing Earth's crust to buckle, generating volcanoes under the sea?
Created by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Self-nominated at 11:04, 1 June 2019 (UTC).
- New enough (nom on first day in main space), long enough (3x min size). Well referenced with multiple citations in each paragraph. No other policy issues suspected. Hook is short enough and interesting. I do not have access to the hook source (link opens cover page) so will AGF. Minor citation problem - the hook relates to the entire first sentence under "Geology" but that sentence has a cite in the middle. Please move citation to the end if that is correct (or provide another cite for the rest of the sentence). [The second sentence under "Geomorphology" also has a cite after the first clause which looks out of place.]
Please clear up minor citation issue, and need QPQ review. MB 21:17, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- @MB:The dual sourcing is deliberate; the first source supports some extra details that the second one doesn't mention. QPQ is here. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:53, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- But there is still no citation for "where the crust has broken up, allowing magma to rise to the surface". If that is from the same source as the following sentence, please repeat it so the sentence upon which the hook is based is explicitly cited.
- And I still don't understand the citation in the Geomorphology section: "It consists of[1] several metres thick[3] lava flows". [3] cites that they are several meters thick, but [1] is just after a fragment that says nothing by itself. MB 15:13, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- @MB: Ah, that problem with references. I've added another one. Regarding the second problem, that's because [1] states that the field is formed by lava flows but only [3] states their thickness. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:24, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Hook sufficiently cited, QPQ done, good to go.
- As far as the "second problem", I think the [1] after "it consists of" is unnecessary, but there is another [1] at the end of that sentence which would cover everything back to the previous [3] including "lava flows", so it still looks redundant. MB 15:30, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
