Overall: 
@Reego41: Good article. But, it says in the source quote that the vents were on the central promontory and the entire volcano. So are those the only two vents on the volcano? Also, I would like some wikilinks to Hades and Prometheus but it's fine either way. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:50, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Hades and Prometheus aren't the only vents on West Mata, it's just that they were the first ones discovered in 2009 and because they're located near the summit. Since West Mata is a fissure volcano, it has many many vents but Hades and Prometheus are the more significant ones. Reego41 14:18, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: The source doesn't talk about any other vents, as far as I can tell, but this can be easily remedied. How about this:
ALT1: ... that the two active vents of West Mata (pictured), an underwater volcano, are called "Hades" and "Prometheus"?- 〜 Festucalex • talk 03:32, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Seems fine Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:21, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- It looks to me like ALT1 has the same problem: we don't know that these are the only two active vents. The source implies there may be others:
active volcanic activity and hydrothermal venting associated with primarily two vents on the central promontory: Hades and Prometheus
(my emphasis). This is easily resolved by removing the word "the" from the hook. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 06:02, 6 April 2023 (UTC)- @Sojourner in the earth: Or maybe we take ALT1 and replace "active" with "primary". Pinging the others: @Onegreatjoke: @Reego41: 〜 Festucalex • talk 18:29, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that the two primary vents of West Mata (pictured), an underwater volcano, are called "Hades" and "Prometheus"?
- That does seem better. Reego41 07:50, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- That looks okay. Reaffirming tick and striking the other hooks just to be clear. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 16:25, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
