Assignment 2: Evaluating Wiki articles

Plate tectonics

  • Former feature article, demoted in 2008
  • Missing lots of citations
  • My understanding is that the geo community didn't fully accept this until the late 60s, and 50s to 60s is a broad time frame. this seems biased.
  • Different sections contradict the time frame of widespread acceptance claims presented in the introduction
  • The section on continent could use some geologic timeline terminology, instead of just numerical ages. Again, so many missing citations...
  • Maybe it's convention (haven't spent much time on Wikipedia before), but I find the reference section confusing that way it is sectioned off as references, books, and articles, but there are still some full references in the references that could be in the books or articles area... I think I comprehensive section would be best
  • Overall I found this article to be poorly cited, despite plenty of reference material, and to be contradictory as to dates of acceptance

Convergent Boundary

  • Not a bad article, good for a layperson to understand the basics, but needs so many more sources of information and citations.
  • Could use more figures to illustrate processes. It's hard to visualize things like volcanic arcs if you have little to no experience on the subject!

Nazca Ridge

This article needs geographic, geologic, and spatial information about the Nazca Ridge. Also, tectonic implications of oblique ridge subduction should be addressed. Finally, continental crust deformation implications of the Nazca Ridge subduction will be added, i.e. the uplift of the Fitzcarrald Arch. I might start a Fitzcarrald Arch stub as well, since there is no Wiki page yet.
