    Pass or Fail:  

  • Cape Verde, Mauritania, Atlantic Ocean, Antarctica,Atlantic Ocean, and Northwestern Africa are well known geographic areas which should not be wikilinked according to WP:Overlinking
  • Duplicate links should be removed: seamount, Canary Islands, mantle, limestone, carbonate, quartz, Lanzarote, and coral according to WP:Duplink
  • Is there any reason why we are talking about the Limalok Seamount (which should be linked)?
  • Could you explain a bit what Me. del Carmen Piernavieja y Oramas is for clarity?
@Adityavagarwal: Thanks. For your points, I don't think that a single mention of these geographical terms is a problem, but I've removed the Northwest Africa link. Deduplinking. Limalok was a simple copypaste error and the source is extremely vague about what "Me. del Carmen Piernavieja y Oramas" is supposed to be so I can't explain what it is.

  • "Phosphate alteration of carbonates " could this be explained a bit in the article? For example, what sort of alteration is indicative of the activity?
The source does not specify that much. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:22, 30 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
