A fact from Eastern Block of the North China Craton appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 January 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the oldest rock in the Eastern Block of the North China Craton is a 3.8- to 3.6-billion-year-old trondhjemitic piece of gneiss?

Comment from Ariel

Hi Yancy, Nice contents and use of language. Very fluent, precise and concise.

Some suggestions:

Refine the figures: it would be great if you could add names of the places you've mentioned in the text (e.g. Anshan) on the map in "Lithology & geological formation". Also, add scales for the cross sections.
In part two (summary), add a line or two to breifly explain why the evidences you've mentioned are evident for corresponding geological processes (or maybe include it in the text in part one).
Add some sections discussing issues other than hard rock geolog, e.g. structures, paleontology, mineral resources.

All in all, great job!

Recommendations from Alex

In "Neoarchean" sections, you can use bullet points to summarize each formations and its tectonic origin so that this would be more reader-friendly.
In reference list, you can solve "Check date values in: |date= (help)" problem by removing "month". (E.g. (2013-09) --> (2013)).
Using full name rather than an abbreviation (E.g. BIF --> Band Iron Formation) so that this makes readers easier to read.

Recommendation

Good and well-elaborated topic. Some suggestions are as below: 1. Some terms are technical, maybe some simple explanations in the paragraph could be added. 2. Enlarge all the figures so that people could look at it without clicking into it. 3. Reason why "Magmatic arc model" and "Large igneous province (LIP)" has been objecting should be elaborated a little bit more. Kenwongtk (talk) 15:05, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recommendations from Abraham

Maybe you can use a table to compare the two models based on their hypothesis, evidence, and limitations.
The legend of the diagram of "Map of exposed Archean basement rocks and Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt. Modified from Zhao et al., 2005." may include all the colors.
Some terms can be hyperlinked.

Message from Tommy

The evolution diagrams are easy to understand.
It would be great to show how massive the tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite is, so you may need a map.
It would to great to show the dome structure of the tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite, so you may need a cross section.
You present a very organized section on geological formation, but it would be great if you can sum up several key features of the lithology.

Comment from Jacqueline

Good use of table to summarise the lithology and geological events
Figure 1: the colour of the shaded area is a bit light, maybe try using a darker / contrasting colour?
Some terms are a bit technical even if they’re hyperlinked, you can try to add a sentence to explain or describe it
You can also add a table showing the characteristics of rocks, e.g. what rocks are found in Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt (If you feel like it’s redundant you can make it collapsable too)

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
