• "These are structures beneath Earth's crust which give rise to volcanoes". I know what you mean, but this could be read as meaning that hot spots are the only structures "which give rise to volcanoes". Is a tweak to the phraseology possible?

Tweaked something, dunno if it's clear enough now. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "The Arago hotspot is responsible for the formation of Arago seamount and uplift on Rurutu". Should there be a 'the' in front of the second "Arago"? Should "seamount" have a capital M?

Standardized to uppercaps on seamount, but I don't think a "the" belongs here; it's a placename. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "were constructed by Arago". For clarity, it may be worth changing to 'were constructed by the Arago hotspot'.

Clarified. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "which is also a name also used" Remove one "also".

Removed one. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "The upper mantle might be the source of the Arago hotspot, data on the presence of seismic velocity anomalies and their sign beneath Arago are contradictory." IMO this would read better as two sentences.

Split this sentence. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "and their sign beneath Arago" I am having to guess at what "their sign" means. Is it possible to clarify this a little?

Added two parentheses; do they work? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "additional hotspots in the area are Tubuai, Taukina and Ngatemato" Are these the inactive ones? If so it may be helpful -> 'additional inactive hotspots in the area'.

The source did not specify this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "this ratio in this case" Should (or could) the first "this" be 'the'?

Yes, done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "Likewise, HIMU xenoliths have been found in Tubuai just ahead of Arago seamount as well." You only need one of "Likewise" and "as well".

Dropped "Likewise". Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "Rurutu already existed before" Before what?

Clarified. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

• "which were speculating of what might have" -> 'who were speculating as to what ...'

Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

That's it from me for now. An excellent article. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:21, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild: Replied and actioned the points raised so far. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jo-Jo Eumerus, thanks for that. This is a fine piece of work, well up to GA standards and I am happy to promote it. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:56, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
