Intraplate deformation[edit]
- ... that tectonic plates in the Earth's crust are not completely rigid but can be deformed by the melting of an ice cap?
- Reviewed: will review some later.
Created/expanded by Rbouch2 (talk). Nominated by Graeme Bartlett (talk) at 10:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
Still need that QPQ review, now two weeks in. The Interior (Talk) 04:22, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Actually, a QPQ is not required when the nominator is not also a creator/expander. So this is eligible for immediate review. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:50, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, did not know that. DYK has gotten a few free reviews out me for nom-onlys! Fair enough, will do a review shortly. The Interior (Talk) 05:53, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- It's actually a bit controversial: some people feel strongly that someone should do a review regardless, but the rules are not that way presumably to encourage the nomination of worthy articles where the creator might not know about DYK or be interested in nominating. The controversy comes in when the people nominated are DYK regulars or have had half a dozen or more articles previously nominated and approved. Given the shortage of reviewers, it's always very much appreciated when a review is done even if not technically required; I hope you'll continue to do "free" reviews. :-) BlueMoonset (talk) 06:32, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for that backgrounder, I remember seeing a thread about it, but obviously didn't pay much attention. Free? I'm billing 1.25$ CDN per review, the Foundation has told me the cheque is in the mail.

Creation date, length are good. Informative, good use of illustrations. Prose is a bit technical in places, but readable. Hook fact verified. Spot-checks done on three refs for plagiarism. Footnotes 1 and 2 need to be expanded with publishing/authorship information. After that is done, this is ready. The Interior (Talk) 18:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- For clarity — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- References expanded for 1 and 2, and for 4 and 5 for bonus to the readers. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:35, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
