Welcome to WikiProject Seamounts, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of seamounts and related subjects.
For more information on WikiProjects in general, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects.
=Goals=
- This WikiProject aims to enhance information on seamounts, volcanology, igneous petrology, and related articles.
=Scope=
- All articles about seamounts, mid-ocean ridges, and other oceanic mountain structures.
- Also articles about many types of seamounts (guyots, submarine volcanoes, submerged continental fragments) are within the scope.
- Articles about some oceanic species are included within the project's scope because of their association with seamounts.
- Articles about some marine protected areas which have been set aside primarily because of their seamounts.
- Articles about people, places, or other entities notable for their association with a seamount.
Please feel free to join the project and expand its scope in any necessary directions.

= Open tasks =
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Seamounts/to do}}
- Add the {{tl|WikiProject Seamounts}} message box to talk pages of articles within the scope of this project, including appropriate assessments if needed.
- Assess all articles within the scope of the project.
- Add appropriate seamount type categories to articles, and verify the accuracy of any existing categories. See the section Categorization below.
- Add {{tl|Infobox Seamount}} to articles if needed and missing, and add seamount-related fields to existing infoboxes if these are missing.
Use {{tl|convert}} templates to ensure accurate conversion of elevations, distances, areas, and volumes. - Expand seamount articles which are stubs, especially by adding photos and (most importantly) proper references.
Feel free to add on to this

=Categorization=
The root category for this WikiProject is :Category:Physical oceanography. The major category, :Category:Seamounts, should be reserved for articles about types of seamounts, while specific individual volcanoes and volcanic belts / fields / regions / zones should be listed in the appropriate subcategories.
Next, please ensure that it has the correct seamount type categories (one or more, in some cases):
=Getting Good Images=
{{Commons category multi|Seamounts|Submarine volcanoes}}
Wikimedia Commons has many images of volcanoes and volcanic phenomena, along with igneous rocks. Many of these photos would make useful additions to many of our articles here which may be lacking adequate illustrations.
However, we have built a subpage database, /Images that records many of the significant images used on Seamount and Seamount related articles.
Please see the Commons categories at right, or try searching Commons since many images available there are not properly categorized yet.
