ALT1 ... that plants grow around volcanic gas vents on Candlemas Island?

5x expanded by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Self-nominated at 09:14, 19 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Candlemas Island; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

More of a comment than a review, but isn't the hook just a bit too technical? It assumes that the reader is familiar with fumarolic vents, which probably isn't true for most people. Maybe a different direction is needed here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:23, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are there really zero CC photos of the fumaroles & other life on the island?[edit]

The article is quite devoid of the flora & fauna described by the article. This is odd. Looked over in Wikimedia, in the Categories for such photo records, and did not find any. Really unusual. If scientist and naturalists have described the flora & fauna, we'd normally expect to see photos, a few we CC licenses.

Are there really none? — N2e (talk) 04:32, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a very frequently visited island, so it's not surprising. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:35, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did find this blog but it seems to be cribbing images from the Internet; e.g one image is cropped from this one, so we can't trust its licences. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:38, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that a photograph be included in this article to improve its quality.
