Five times expanded by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Self-nominated at 15:59, 15 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Huequi; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Frankly, I'm not sure if the hook as currently written would be interesting, or at least understandable, to a non-specialist audience unless there were pictures of the actual pinnacles in question. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:13, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, there is no free image of the geysers. Also, I think that most people understand what a "pinnacle" is. Maybe "columns" is clearer? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:53, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- That might be better, but without images, I'm afraid the hook doesn't really stand out, since it might be hard for readers to imagine what they look like. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:23, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- Proposed an ALT that should give sufficient information for people's imagination. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:23, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Due to various real-life matters I don't think I have any time to complete the review anymore, although I am still skeptical about the broad interest of ALT0 and ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 05:23, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
ALT1 interesting for me. Checked expanded OK. Checked Earwig no copyvio. I will complete this review - hopefully very soon - feel free to chase. Are you looking for an article to review? If so are you allowed to complete my Template:Did you know nominations/Hoang Thi Minh Hong? Chidgk1 (talk) 14:23, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Added a QPQ. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:01, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
Checked cite OK. Good to go with ALT1 
- Can inanimate rock really be said to "grow" Jo-Jo Eumerus? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:18, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- AirshipJungleman29 Good question. But as it is not in the article itself, as the reviewer I am happy with "grow" here in the hook as I believe hooks can be less "encyclopedic" and more expressive than articles. Chidgk1 (talk) 18:15, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- But I have no objection if both of you agree a different verb Chidgk1 (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, rocks can grow, c.f speleothems grow through the precipitation of limestone. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
