  • "The seamount erupted in March 1962" needs to be stated in the body.
    Er, it is - the pumice raft was erupted a few days before 14th March 1962. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's still not entirely clear. I guess in probably erupted a few days before, what you're trying to say is "It certainly erupted, but it's not clear exactly when; probably a few days before", so please rephrase to make that clear. RoySmith (talk) 16:24, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I've recast this one. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:25, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The interactive map doesn't add anything useful. The hemisphere image at the top works well to show the reader where the shoal is; the map however is just a featureless blue field that doesn't add anything. I'd delete it.
    Hmm, not sure how to remove the map and the hemisphere image shows Zavodovski, not Protector Shoal. Removed that image instead. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know how to remove the map either, but it really is useless. Perhaps you could ask on the infobox talk page? The hemisphere image was exactly the right thing; you should put it back. RoySmith (talk) 16:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, the hemisphere map is simply wrong as Protector Shoal is located at some distance from Zavodovski, outside of the red circle. So I won't readd it. But I'll ask on the infobox map. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:25, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • You mostly use metric as the primary unit and convert to imperial, but reverse this for the Height field. Pick one way and be consistent.
    Done. ~~

  • Not a WP:GACR, but I recommend adding alt text to all images per MOS:ALT.
  • No issues spotted with copyright.
  • Article is appropriately cited to what appear to be reliable sources.
  • Images all appear to be appropriately licenced.
  • No other issues spotted with WP:GACR

OK, this passes now. I still want to get the map to show up properly in the infobox (see thread on Template talk:Infobox seamount), but I can't justify holding up GA approval over that. This is a nice article about an interesting subject, thanks for submitting it. RoySmith (talk) 15:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
