Overall: 2603:7000:2101:AA00:40CC:69A5:9E1E:16CB (talk) 18:55, 23 November 2023 (UTC) Pretty sure that Tierra del Fuego is considered part of South America. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:30, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm open to being convinced. But the wp article it links to says it is "an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland." I don't see this article or that one stating that it is in fact itself part of South America, rather than off of it. What do you know, not in either article, that makes you pretty sure? 2603:7000:2101:AA00:59D9:28DE:BCC:4796 (talk) 08:11, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
South America does show it on its map and discusses it as part of South America. Contrast with e.g the Galapagos, which are sometimes considered part of Oceania. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:30, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
If this article were to have a ref that supported that aspect of the hook directly, I would be happy to put a check mark on that requirement.2603:7000:2101:AA00:894B:9C69:E769:856B (talk) 16:49, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
Technically, I also need to provide the QPQ still. Often when I am done writing an article I don't have steam to do the QPQ review. I've put a sentence in, keeping in mind that the pumice has to first get past South America before it can get to TDF. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:09, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Reviewer's last edit was in November, so a new reviewer is needed. Z1720 (talk) 19:16, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Starting review. Zeete (talk) 12:01, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Promoted to Good Article on 11/22/23, DYK check reports over 10,700 characters, well cited, neutral, earwig reports violation possible (over 40%) for three sources, long name matches on citations, others reported violation unlikely, QPQ done, hook interesting, length checked ok, cited.
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: While the title of reference Risso, Scasso & Aparicio 2002 is definite, the Abstract says "most likely". Is there a more definite conclusion in the article? I can only access the preview. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 12:23, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
The source does not even consider any origination other than at Protector Shoal, ruling out Deception Island on compositional grounds. I don't remember any other source disagreeing with Risso 2002. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
  • @Jo-Jo Eumerus: Thanks for the explanation. Good to go. Interesting article about the seamount and pumice blocks. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 14:42, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
