Comments from Victor (14/11)
Here are some suggestions.
1. add some images for the rock formations if it is possible.
2. For the figure 'Evolution of the Ryukyu Arc', if it is modified from some papers, please cite that paper.
3. More information need to be introduced.
Thank you. VictorSo1031 (talk) 11:13, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
Comments from Gabriel (15/11)
- For the section "seismicity", it is better to add link to some words. Especially to the term "Low seismic velocity zones"
- Same as the "Nakajin Formation", you can link some words. For example "limestone", "basalt" and "tuffaceous" etc
- I am not sure whether it has a map that shows the location of different formations or groups.
I know it is difficult for you to find articles to write this page. I think you try your best to write this page. It is detail. Nice Gabriel HY Lam (talk) 16:18, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
Comments from Miko (15 Nov)
Hi Timothy! This is Miko here! Generally the page is much improved! You have put more citation in the paragraph and photos. However, I would like to suggest the ideas as follows see which can help you!
1. I think the table is quite unclear that some channels and gaps mentioned, but does it mean they belongs to both columns? Would be great if there is an annotated diagram.
2. Try to CITE the source where you have put in the Evolution of the Ryukyu Arc
3. It is better to write Tectonic Geology rather than just start your sub title “Tectonics” (This is an Adjective) or you can write as “Techtonic XXX”
4. Would be great if a Geological timetable could be made - to summarise all the geological events of the Ryuku Arc.
I hope these comments are helpful to you! Mikocheung (talk) 07:00, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
