This article has sentences badly copied first without quotes, second without order, and third without changing the correct words, like ground to soil should not be.
There are at least two sentences copied from the article, which if properly translated would be correct, but they were mangled by Google translate, and that is what is in the article, seemingly a copy paste from Google translate. Also the geology does not make sense in our article and it contradicts itself.
This article needs fixed. I don't think you should need much geology to look at what this article says and seriously question what is being written. 2601:648:8503:4467:1428:B48A:9F71:6C58 (talk) 14:37, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Removed part of "Geology" section, which were in question. The section was renamed to "Canyon". Hopefully, there are no more issues. CeeGee 08:24, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
  • You removed words and what you left is random, not even looking like sentences, much less pretending to be coherent writing. I don't understand. Please look at the paragraph. --2601:648:8503:4467:F5BC:4C98:3C7C:66D6 (talk) 13:54, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Sorry, but to me it is consistent. I cannot understand what is wrong with the paragraph. It clearly lists features of the camyon. CeeGee 19:53, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
  • "The streams Ulubey Creek and Banaz Creek run through the Ulubey Canyon. he main canyon along both creeks has tens of big lateral canyons. It covers an area of 1,190 daa (1.19 km2; 0.46 sq mi).[1] At least three terraces are visible in the the canyon walls of 10–30 m (33–98 ft) and 50–55 m (164–180 ft) height." You have a sentence starting with "he," lower case. You have three terraces of two heights. You start detailed, move general, then back, and again. Why not develop a proper paragraph than a bunch of random sentences thrown together? --12.199.205.115 (talk) 21:35, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I have copyedited the section according to your above mentioned claims. Hopefully, it is satisfactory now. About the three terraces and two figures only: the figures are related to the canyon walls and not to the terraces. Besides, I was surprised that you did not recognize the mistype "he" instead of "The". Anyway, thank you very much for your efforts to bring the article in a higher level. CeeGee 07:39, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
  • If the figures are related to the canyon walls, why are you writing this sentence: "At least three terraces are visible in the the canyon walls of 10–30 m (33–98 ft) and 50–55 m (164–180 ft) height." It's two sentences in the original; you make it very confusing by including two different things in one sentence. Please say what you mean in two distinct sentences, one about the canyon walls, the second about the terraces. I don't get the Turkish well enough from Google translate. As to the typo, the text is very jumbled, and it was hard to tell what you were saying. --2601:648:8503:4467:BCAE:2D17:1DA3:5D49 (talk) 06:33, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Reworded. CeeGee 07:02, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I feel you've addressed the issues I raised. Sorry I could not help, I found it very confusing. I read something else you wrote with geology in it, and I did not see similar problems, not sure what happened here, but thank you for taking the time to fix the problems in this article. --2601:648:8503:4467:BCAE:2D17:1DA3:5D49 (talk) 08:13, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Where are we now? Does the article pass your test now? Please comment so that it can be handled for fırther action. CeeGee 14:48, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
  • @CeeGee: From the IP's last comment, it looks like everything's fine now. I read the article though and I also see no problems with it. However, I would suggest wording the hook this way:
  • ALT0a: ... that the glass-floor observation deck of Ulubey Canyon Nature Park is 131 m (430 ft) above the canyon floor? Yoninah (talk) 20:42, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
ALT0a is fine for me. Thanks for your efforts. CeeGee 05:21, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
