“Mirror” Effect at Hydrothermal Vents

I found this video showing total internal reflection from the geothermal fluids flowing out from the flanges. Can something similar be added to article? Shubjt 14:13, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Hydrothermal Plumes and Origin of Life Additions

I'm planning to add a new section to this article on hydrothermal plumes since this topic is not covered. I've drafted my contribution in a sandbox page here: User:Jamison7/Hydrothermal vent. The addition is designated between bold headings with asterisks. Additionally, I am collaborating with someone who has made additions to the "origin of life" section of this article. If anyone has any comments or suggestions on these additions before I add them to the live article, I would love to receive them! Jamison7 (talk) 22:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jamison7 (and ‎Backhand03) and welcome to Wikipedia! I briefly reviewed your draft for style and neutral tone, and it looks pretty good. If you want to delve into the prose/presentation more, I would recommend the following guidelines: WP:EDITORIAL, WP:DUE, and WP:BALANCE (mostly for content related to origins of life, which may be more difficult to summarize in an encyclopedic style). Good job Wracking ^talk! 23:05, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Wracking, thanks for the feedback, it has been very helpful! Backhand03 (talk) 20:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

WP:COATRACK at "Theory of hydrothermal origin of life"

The "Theory of hydrothermal origin of life" section is very long, despite its correct mention that the "Main article" is Abiogenesis#Deep sea hydrothermal vents.

Policy says that when a main link is present, the section should be a brief summary. As a guide that should be one or two paragraphs, the minimum to summarize the article at the other end of the main link, and no more. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
