... that the heat from Mount Rittmann volcano allows mosses to grow in Antarctica?

Comment: Perhaps a hook that also includes the 1254 eruption might be desirable.

Hello Jo-Jo Eumerus, I'm Droodkin and I'll be your reviewer;

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: - QPQ not done yet
Overall: Article is large enough and new enough. The sources are academic journals and the abstract verifies the hook. The hook in itself is interesting although I feel like the grammar is off? Perhaps an alternative hook can be provided? In any case, all that's left is the QPQ and it should be good to go. Droodkin (talk) 08:10, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
