I plan to add information on glaciation in New England. More specifically, I will focus on Glacial Gorges and streams after the field trip with the NEIGC.

Chosen article: Tectonics

• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Everything seems relevant. The last section, Planetary tectonics, only contains one sentence and does not relate to any of the other sections.

• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

The article is neutral. No bias is noticeable

• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The tectonic activity of the world is only described with a map and is not accompanied by any text.

• Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

Yes, the links both work and the sources support the info represented.

•  Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? 

There are only 2 sources used. Not all facts are referenced and even if they were, multiple sources should be used. Both sources are neutral though.

• Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

The data seems up to date. Perhaps more sections should be added as the article is short.

•  Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? 

In December 2016, the article was one of "Wikipedia's articles for improvement". The etymology was discussed. The difference between crust and lithosphere and some technicalities of thrust tectonics were discussed.

• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

article is rated as start-class, High-importance. It is part of the Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Geology WikiProjects.

• How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Notes

Seems like a very important topic and is relevant to major geological events. The page should be expanded.
