- ... that Capricorn Seamount is an underwater mountain that is breaking up as it enters the Tonga Trench? As Osbourn Guyot, the oldest extant guyot in the Louisville chain, is transported down the outer slope of the trench its summit plain is being tilted at about the same rate as the surrounding oceanic crust, and dislocated by antithetic normal faulting. The much younger and shallower Capricorn Guyot is also being fractured (according to my reinterpretation of old conventional surveys)

The article was made three days ago, so is new enough. The prose is around 3,000 characters, so is long enough. Everything seems within policy: it is written neutrally, has inline citations properly referenced, and has no copyvio issues after spotchecking and also using the Copyvio Detector tool. The hook is short enough and interesting enough. However, the user appears to have far more than 5 prior DYKs, but the QPQ doesn't appear to be done yet here.
- @Jo-Jo Eumerus: Two things then. You need to do the QPQ review, please let me know when you've done that. Also, I would suggest wikilinking "underwater mountain" in your hook to either seamount or guyot, whichever you think is more relevant. SilverserenC 06:56, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Silver seren: Template:Did you know nominations/Tedder certificate is the QPQ. Also added a link to guyot. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:33, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
