  • @Graeme Bartlett and Mikocheung: The first problem i'm noticing is that there are a lack of citations in some areas that need to be addressed for this nomination to pass. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:37, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
    • I have now made sure that every paragraph has a reference. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:33, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
@Graeme Bartlett and Mikocheung: The sentences
  • "The Beardmore folding event, in which folded metasedimentary rocks are unconformably overlain by the Early to Middle Cambrian rocks, occurs in the middle Transantarctic Mountains and the Pensacola Mountains."
  • "as a result of the Beardmore orogeny during the Late Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian were folded by the earlier one, which took place during the end-Neoproterozoic."
  • and the sentence "Conglomerates, quartzites, and argillites make up the majority of this sequence of coarse-grained siliciclastic rocks."
Still need citations before we're done with this problem. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Good work but I'm going to give this to another reviewer. Considering many of the nominations you have made, I don't believe that I would be able to do a correct review of this nomination. Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:12, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes

Image eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was moved into the mainspace on November 9, and nominated two days later. Length is adequate. Article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues detected. The proposed hook is interesting, properly mentioned and cited, and will AGF on the source. QPQ requirement is complete. All images used in the article are freely licensed on the Commons. The image on this nomination is used in the article, but is not clear at a low resolution, and I do not recommend its use as a DYK image. The sourcing is great, except for one citation needed tag in the "Surveys Done in the Ellsworth Mountains" section. Overall, this is nomination is in good shape and has only one minor issue.
