Hello Taylor,

I am an online ambassador for your plate tectonics class. I will assist you in your Wikipedia writings. You can send me an email Graeme Bartlett or use my talk page if you want my attention. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:10, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you are considering decollemont which does not exist here, but I suspect the reason is that it is spelled decollement which has a two sentence stub article. Plenty of room for improvement here! Another French way to spell it would be décollement. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:58, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aagwebb (talk) 16:23, 7 October 2011 (UTC) Hi Taylor - I don't think you made your Wiki HW in a sandbox, but honestly I don't fully understand these things. On the plus side you have caught Graeme's attention. [Graeme: all the students have written up similar content in response to their first Wiki HW assignment, which is posted on the course page. Most of the HWs are visible from the main page.] Back to Taylor: small problem, your links don't work. Also, remember that decollement is a general term that is used not just in thrust tectonics but also in large scale low-angle extensional structures - indeed that sometimes seems to be the more common usage these days. 27/30.[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Links

For links within the text of the article, they should be in the form of the double square bracket links. If the article does not exist on Wikipedia the link will be red. This is OK. For links to web sites outside make them use the ref tags or go into the external links down the bottom of the page. For your red link you can look around to see if the topic goes under another name here, and create a redirect. Or you could write a two sentence stub article so that the link is blue!

Also don't do a link like this; nappe, do this nappe. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More comments

Marcel Bertrand should be linked with the brackets: [[Marcel Bertrand]] and you have done nothing about the nappe yet.
In your opening sentence there should be a straight to the point explanation of what the term means. It should be explained in terms that a high school reader could understand. This means that etymology and synonyms should be left to a later sentence.
Dont use the ''' ''' bolding in the headings as it mucks up the table of contents and the ability to link to a section from outside.
Decide whether there is an é in the name or not. Check what the most reliable English language authors use to tell if you should use é or e.
for 'low bulk modulus' you can also reinforce that physics terminology in simpler terms such as 'easily deformed' or 'soft'
To get the article to a higher level of standard you can link the units to the numbers with linke this 10 km.
"brittle domain" needs a bit more explanation.
More words to link: foreland, pbasement, cover, allochthonous (good that you explain this), autochthonous, imbricate fan, duplex (but check where these point to as many will be the wrong topic).
No need to link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thick-skinned_deformation a second time in one paragraph.
Where you copy titles use the Wikipedia style so not: "DÉCOLLEMENT STRUCTURES" instead use Décollement Structures" and if there are lower case words, you can change them to upper case. The WP:Manual of style covers all this.
In articles we do not use the : to tab text in on a paragraph.
"Décollement develops as antiform that migrates toward shallower depths" is unclear and may need three sentences to explain (or a picture).
In your Wernicke ref you have "date=25" whereas perhaps this is issue? Or is the month missing?
For "Malavieille, 2010" ref you ahve a doi, but otherwise the information is pretty incomplete.
With journal titles like "Boll. Soc. Geol." spell them out completely as that will help non specialists find them in the library catalog.
For "The Jura Decollement" make the sentence stand alone and not rely on people reading the heading.
FOr ref "Laubscher, 2008" you have aouthor name in ALL CAPITALS, use normal capitalisation for this. also doi= should not be followed by "DOI", but just the doi number.
Don't put " around your <references/> tag as it shows up at the bottom.
How are you going to merge Decollement?
Take a look at Mauna Kea which is one of the best articles in Wikipedia, see what you can learn from how that was done!
I hope you are considering all the other comments the others and I gave you too. There have not been a lot

Diagrams uploaded at Wikimedia Commons

Hi. You uploaded two diagrams at Wikimedia Commons. Thanks for your contributions! I have two comments/concerns about the diagrams:

1. They are good diagrams, and they are identified as your own work. Please make sure that's true. Did you actually create them yourself? If they came from another source, they cannot be hosted at Commons because they may violate copyright.

2. The diagrams still need descriptions. Please add text at Commons (for example, at Commons:File:Extensional Decollement.pdf to explain what these diagrams illustrate. If you adapted them from another source, identify the source. --Orlady (talk) 14:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
