Hello Oliver, Let me introduce myself as an online ambassador for the Plate Tectonics class. I will be helping out with your Wikipedia experience. You can talk to me at my talk page or email me. I will be looking at what you do and trying to keep you away from trouble. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:22, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Tara's Review

So how do these tectonic influences affect the direct morphology of the alluvial fan? You are very unclear.

What are these growth structures that you talk about? And how would compressional vs. extensional structures differ from one another.

How would someone unravel these structures to say something about the tectonism?

Maybe address how would the rate of change of tectonic forces affect the morphology. Rapid vs. slow? Faulting vs. slow orogenic uplift?

Could you address asymmetrical subsidence using alluvial fan morphology? What would this say about tectonism? With the material that you present, would your explanations correctly address asymmetrical morphology of fans in a basin?

Ultimately, you want to use alluvial fans to tell us about basin subsidence due to tectonism? Erosion and tectonism? Not clear what the end-goal is here.

I imagine that you will address "alluvial fan's location, sizes, environments, and drainage patterns" for the rest of your article? Be careful in separating climatic factors from the tectonic ones.

Address grammar and slang issues for science writing. What do you mean by "seriously?" And "bridge"?

More comments from Graeme

Hi, I am looking at an older version of the sandbox as your latest one has seriously shrunk in reaction to reviews. I agree with the others that using general terms like react, alter or change is too general, and leave the reader with a very vague understanding. A few good examples of each situation would go a long way to help understanding, along with pictures to illustrate of course. There will be plenty of time needed to draw those images. However your references are off to a good start. Extra information to include in references are the volume, issue and page number, and a DOI or URL. There are also style issues to sort out, but these can be addressed easily once you have written your content. I am hoping to see over 1000 words in your page, to give an idea of getting it with a listing on the main page. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:39, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
