Critique - Inge Lehmann Woman of Geology
[edit]Inge Lehmann - Article Critique Group 7 Somya Kar Caitlynn Lehman Sawn Xue Lonhui Liao
From the article Inge Lehmann on the Wikipedia website, people can access information of the famous woman geologists. The article briefly shows the major achievements she made and some background introduction about her life. One of Inge's biggest achievements in the geological study was to point out the inside structure of the earth was not a single molten sphere. She showed that the earth core consists of a solid inner core and an outer core.
Critiques - Here are a couple of things we found within the article that we think could have been done better.
- When checking the references (4,5,6), they were no longer available, so an update to the reference list should be incorporated.
- There was a good variety of sources, however there is still an opportunity to provide more sources pertaining to her ideas that are more adept and thought out.
- Introduction can include more information about Inge Lehmann herself which might make the article more appealing and interest readers in reading the full article .
- Elaborating on the discoveries of Ewing and Press may be useful to interconnect the ideas with Lehmann’s as well as the contributions made by them could be useful knowledge to connect with Lehmann’s discoveries about the earth core and the mantle.
- In the article it would be useful to put scientific ideas into more general terms (or provide links) so that the average person can more easily understand and grasp the concepts.
- Some of the information in the article even seems unnecessary to add, a little information about her background is needed but too much insight can take away from the actual informational portion of the article.
- Including a build up of her career would be useful to know how she got from school to a full fledge job, it seems she just got straight into the hard part but how did she get there what discoveries did she make along the way?
