Cindy's Critique[edit]

Great work on your images! The layout of your page and the organization of your sections make it very easy to read. You've done a great job integrating the "geology" with the tectonics of your study area, many other wikipedia pages seem to separate the two. For the first sentence in the "Tectonic evolution and geology of the Antarctic Peninsula" section I would say formed instead of occurred (I think it just sounds better). For the sentence "The oldest rocks found on the Antarctic Peninsula are from this time" - I would just specify the time period,for clarity. Toward the end of your last section you have a small typo, you wrote "i" instead of is. As you can see my critique consists of minor fixes. I think you were quiet thorough enough for a geologist yet clear enough for the general reader. Good work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CinColon (talk • contribs) 21:56, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Jensen's review[edit]

1. Overall, the article looks really good and I have to agree with Cindy, the images look amazing, good work on those.

2. The organization of the entire article was done very well. I can tell this from just looking at the contents. It just seems to flow like it should.

3. It could never hurt to add more in-text links in order to help out the reader that is less experienced in geology.

4. The final section called "Late subduction phase, opening of the Bransfield Rift" was put together really well and provides the reader with a very useful and effective explanation, but the title itself could use a little improvement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjense2 (talk • contribs) 07:41, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

John's Feedback[edit]

"The geologic and tectonic history of the peninsula spans millions of years." kind of unnecessary, given previous sentence. Links, links, links. I don't have a whole lot to say, but all the namedrops with no map to associate them gets a little rough, for me. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geologian (talk • contribs) 06:31, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
