I've listed this article for peer review because I am looking for both general and specific feedback to further improve the article after the major revisions in the past two years. My intent is to get the article into a suitable state for a GA / A-Class / FA nomination.
Thanks, Jarred C Lloyd (talk) 23:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for starting this peer review. My initial comments are about the new log-spiral diagram image (Geologic time scale - spiral - ICS colours (light) - path text.svg) that you have created and placed (on 16 April 2024) in the Introduction section of the article. I like the diagram, particularly that it avoids the problem of the previous diagram (in which present day is joined to the start of the Hadean as if it were a cycle). Please correct the typo spelling error in text annotating the Archaean, in the centre of your new diagram: magenetic should be corrected to magnetic. I suggest that in the dates/ages, the symbol for a zero should be changed from slashed zero to ordinary zero. I think there is no chance of confusing zero for another number in this diagram but slashed zero is relatively niche and will probably confuse more general readers than it helps.

- Thanks for the first commentary. It took me a while to come up with a design I both liked, thought to be aesthetically pleasing and clearly informative. I've made the requested changes to non-slashed zeros and the spelling correction.
- On this particular image, there are multiple versions - two alternative colour schemes for people with colour vision deficiencies. Do you know of any nice way to link them in the lead image with the possibility of the user to switch between them? A kind of slideshow type image frame so that it allows a user to choose a more accessible colour scheme. Jarred C Lloyd (talk) 01:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
