This looks an interesting article about a subject that takes me back to research I was involved in a long time ago on geological features. I will start a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 14:23, 6 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Review edit

The article is clearly written and covers an interesting topic. It is stable, 95% of authorship is one user, Jo-Jo Eumerus. It was ranked a 'Start article in 5 June 2010‎ but saw substantial development since a page move in 2018.

  • All images are either licensed under Creative Commons or are within the Public Domain in the United States.
  • The text is clear uses language appropriate for the audience.
  • The References are inconsistent. Please make all the citations follow the same format as per MOS:CITE. I suggest using the convention already used for Vail 1972 and Wickens 1975. This means changing Issawi & Sallam 2017, Fott & Karim 1973, Maley 2000, Soulié-Märsche et al 2010, Francis et al 1973, Davidson & Wilson 1989, Newhall & Dzurisin 1983 etc to meet the same format, with a separate short footnote and citation.

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Congratulations on your work on this article. Please ping me when you have had a chance to review these minor amendments and I will complete the assessment. simongraham (talk) 07:05, 9 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

See, to my understanding this is an acceptable way to format references when for some you use only one page and for others multiple pages. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:06, 9 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I disagree but I am not going to push the point as I think the GA criterion is open to interpretation. simongraham (talk) 19:08, 14 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
