Talk:Secondary crater

This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2015. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Louisiana State University/Geology 4002: Evolution of Terrestrial Planets (Spring 2015)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

A fact from Secondary crater appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 May 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that secondary crater formation requires a primary crater, sufficient gravity, and enough velocity in the ejected material?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2015/May. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Secondary crater.

Hunter[edit]

Samantha, I think your page is looking good. It is very informative and I think you did a good job formatting the text on the page. You may want to consider rewording the first sentence. Possibly, "Secondary craters are impact craters formed by ejecta thrown from large craters" or something along those lines. The space across from the contents list and below your introduction may be a good spot for a cool picture of a secondary crater just to fill up the page. Finally you may want to enlarge the images you have, especially the cartoon strip. I think they look really good but they are kind of hard to see on the page. Other than that great job!

Review by Andrew[edit]

Overall it was well written and easy to follow. I have a few suggestions: The first picture is awesome, but I would make it (and the other images) a little bigger. For the section "Distinguishing factors of primary and secondary craters," you could reformat the subtitles as bullet points instead of new sections, since each is pretty short (use a * instead of =).

I would reword this sentence: "However, the more distancing secondaries appear similar in circularity to their parent primaries, but these are often seen in an array of clusters."

Sentence reworded. Images: that first one is naturally 180 × 227 pixels and really has very little resolution; a better pic would be good. Also this article needs to be good on cellphones, too. 'Distinguishing' section is now larger, I went and did some light editing. OsamaBinLogin (talk) 22:39, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
