... that mosses grow on Mount Melbourne (pictured) in the cold Antarctic, thanks to volcanic heat?

Comment: QPQ upon review, if I may.

5x expanded by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Self-nominated at 20:07, 29 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

This is what DYK should do: You ask did I know that there were mosses and volcanic activity in the Antarctic, and I reply genuinely, "Nope, didn't know that ... interesting." Anyways, the article meets newness and size requirements with > 5x expansion from 9/22 to 9/29. Article is also well written and makes appropriate use of citations. Earwig (here) indicated some potential (46.5%) of copyvio, but it doesn't look problematic to me, mostly just long citations and scientific nomenclature stuff. The hook is interesting, short enough, neutral, and supported by in-line citations. Just needs the QPQ. Cbl62 (talk) 23:34, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cbl62: QPQ is here. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:58, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Passes. Cbl62 (talk) 14:04, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

sentence unclear[edit]

I couldn't figure out what to do with this statement: "and thus renewed eruptions would likely not impact any human habitations, regional environmental or even global climate impacts are possible." Does it mean that regional and global impacts are possibly even though human habitation impacts aren't, or that they also are not? -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:34, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JHunterJ:It means that there is no local population that could be impacted, but large eruptions may instead hit globally. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:04, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are these enforceable rules?[edit]

So, I've been thinking of using this source but it's not clear to me whether these are draft rules or enforceable rules or anything. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:09, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SG review[edit]

Jo-Jo, I am looking through now, but need to move from iPad to real computer to continue. There is a considerable number of duplicate links-- too many for me to deal with, and some may be useful. Do you have user:Evad37/duplinks-alt installed? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:06, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

a new Chinese station,[8] ... the word new should be avoided, as it can become dated ... it would be better to state the year it opened, or something more specific (else just remove the word new).
Wikilink Arcuate ?
Mount Melbourne is part of the McMurdo Volcanic Group and together with Mount Erebus one of its active volcanoes.[44] Are these the only two active? If yes, why not say, "one of its two active volcanos"? If not, how many ?
Recast this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:52, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ack! North–south-trending faulting may also be responsible for the north–south-like trend ... redundancy needs fixing.
Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:52, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are numerous instances where terms are not wikilinked on first occurrence, review of linking is needed throughout, sample "with a scarcity of benmoreite and mugearite" (I already fixed some).

The main thing that needs attention is top-to-bottom review of wikilinking, but otherwise FAC ready; no need to get back to me unless you have a question, and please feel free to revert anything I've done. (Unwatching, so ping if I'm needed.) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:18, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think I got them all. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:52, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First ascent?[edit]

The article mentions that the mountain's summit may be reached by helicopter, but fails to say when the summit was first climbed. Does anyone know? Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:37, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Information on parasitic vents[edit]

I am not sure I entirely like the formulation I gave to the info from doi:10.1007/s00445-023-01651-2, second opinions welcome. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:58, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aeromagnetic information[edit]

Not sure that doi:10.1029/2022JB025687 is worth adding, it seems quite technical. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:02, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Campbell Glacier collapse: Which eruption?[edit]

This source links the collapse of the Campbell Glacier 90,000 years ago to activity at Melbourne, but it's in Korean and I am not sure which eruption they are talking about. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
