Talk:Lada Terra

This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2015. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Louisiana State University/Geology 4002: Evolution of Terrestrial Planets (Spring 2015)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

A fact from Lada Terra appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 April 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that shield volcano outflows cover 48% of Lada Terra on Venus (pictured)?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2015/April. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lada Terra.

Suggestions from Citra[edit]

Hi Rob! Your first draft is really good and well-organized. I like how the content is easy to understand without losing its scientific qualities. I also like the images you put in your page, it has good relation to your text. Some things that you might want to improve are the minor grammatical errors and maybe consider adding some explanations on the geologic evolution of Lada Terra. Also, a little more description on the Ammavuro Extensional Belt and the External Links section would make the overall content better. Planetarysprotege (talk) 03:48, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions from Shelby[edit]

The plural of corona is coronae... I noticed a few places where this should have been plural. Also, there are places where you used effecting instead of affecting. Remember that effect is used like a noun, and affect is used as a verb. (The effect vs it affected). I think further expansion on how the lada terra was formed would be really good for your page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjoh197 (talk • contribs) 15:29, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions from Hunter[edit]

Rob, I think you have a great page going. The text is very informative. As Shelby said you may want to change corona to coronae in some instances. In the introductory paragraph, the sentence "Lada Terra is named after the Slavic goddess of love, Lada" is kind of by itself in the bottom. You might want to include it in the first paragraph. The Stratigraphic relationships paragraph is very informative but is somewhat hard to follow. You could possibly break it down into subcategories based on something like age of terrain but that is up to you. I thought the images were great, you could possibly enlarge the first one to make it fit the page a little better but its not a big deal. Finally, you may want to consider making the Lada Rise and the Quetzalpetlatl Corona sections main categories. It would distinguish them from their subcategories a little bit. Other that that great job!

Samantha[edit]

Similar to what Hunter states previously, your formatting for your sections could be adjusted. There were a few simple spelling errors. You might consider linking "tessera terrain" in your Stratigraphic Relationships paragraph to Shelby's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mangolava (talk • contribs) 10:21, 31 March 2015 (UTC) Hvanwy1 (talk) 17:32, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work Robby! Page looks good. Layout is user-friendly. Easy to navigate through. The corona coronae misuse has been brought up I believe, but also sometimes corona is capitalized when I don't think it's supposed to be. It should only be capitalized when used as a proper noun. Also, could you find some pictures of some of the other regions you talk about just for visual reference? Adamwalsh93 (talk) 12:46, 31 March 2015 (UTC)Adam[reply]
