Hello,

let me introduce myself, Graeme Bartlett as an on-line ambassador to your Wikipedia work. I am here to help you with the Wikipedia technical and social world. You can ask me questions or chat to me on my talk page at User talk:Graeme Bartlett, or you can email me by using this page: Special:EmailUser/Graeme Bartlett. I will be looking at your work on Wikipedia to see what I can suggest to you. Once your page goes live I will see if I can nominate it for the WP:Did you know to get it listed on the front page. I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:57, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions from An Li

[edit]

(1) The article seems heavily rely on the Hudec et al 2007. More references might be better. (2) For the discussion of salt surface structure, the section can be organized as 1) geometry 2) kinematics and 3) mechanism sub-sections. (3) A new section about application or implication of salt surface structure. (4) Need more figures. Upload image to wiki Commons and insert image into this article. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geologyanli (talkcontribs) 15:11, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Don's comments and review

[edit]

First Section

[edit]

First sentence: "Salt surface structures are extensions of salt tectonics" I think it is simpler to just say "Salt surface structures are extensions of salt structures that reach the surface. You may also want to note that by reaching the surface, the forces and pressures that drive the salt structures change significantly, so it forms unique structures. You may also want to move the navigation panel below the first section, though that is just a style opinion. In general, with the overview section, keep in mind that most Wikipedia readers want to find your page, grab the info they are looking for, and leave quickly

Evolution histories

[edit]

In general, good. Seems to cover the common salt structures. Figure is deeply needed though, I can only parse the sentences because I read that paper a few weeks ago. For someone coming in with no knowledge, this would be a very inaccessible description. Also make sure you link words with double brackets! like this: potatoes

Types of surface structures

[edit]

Again, good overview. This section does not suffer as much from the lack of figures, however i recall there was a very good figure in the hudec paper that had images of all the different structures

overview

[edit]

I think accessibility and connectivity are your biggest areas to improve in. To make your article more accessible you can make two improvements:

  • Nice big figures to help visualize the different structures
  • Find a balance between geological terminology and more layman's terms

You can make the article more connected by, as I said earlier, linking your words with their respective articles, this would also help if you find you cant reduce past the geological terminology, making it a link allows a reader to go learn what that fancy word means!

Suggestions from Chang

[edit]

For the introduction, it is simple and clear. It will be better to demonstrate a figure of salt surface structure and some pictures of how it looks from outside

In the evolution part, I think 1) each of the piercement needs a example, for example any place matches up with active piercement how it is developed with the local tectonic evolution. 2)They definitely will look better with a figure to show people how each formed. Here is a figure I found, it may be helpful http://books.google.com/books?id=ihny39BvVhIC&pg=PA383&lpg=PA383&dq=active+piercement+salt&source=bl&ots=EhhGrZm2Ie&sig=ZNv5ovvHhZbOldXmDjyhlLDIddM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=lzc7VPKSL6Ka8QGix4GwDw&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=active%20piercement%20salt&f=false -Chang

In the types of surface structure, it still need some figures to demonstrate each one better. the last part of "trust Advance" could be expanded with more information, for example the three driving process. -Chang

Overall, the whole page has a simple and clear structure of salt surface structure. I suggest 1) Add more figures and pictures 2) more information of each part is needed. it should have some specific example to each definition. 3) There should be some potential research direction about this, like something people cares but has a weak understanding. more deeply information is necessary. -Chang
