Talk:South China Craton

A fact from South China Craton appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 January 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the South China Craton is thought to have been adjacent to eastern Australia and western Laurentia in the "missing link" hypothesis?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2020/January. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/South China Craton.

Suggestions from Karen[edit]

I suggest only bolding the south China Craton for the first sentence, which makes the key word pops up
You may add a section of "see also" linking to the wiki pages about North China Cratons
There is lots of white spaces in the illustration "single-sided subduction & double subduction system", yet the annotations are quite small. I suggest enlarging the illustrations and decrease the white space.
please also enlarge "Silver plate tectonics". Too small.
Overall, I appreciate the effort in making illustrations. They are clear and effectively state the key points. The wiki page is very informative indeed. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LkwkarenHKU (talk • contribs) 15:42, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions from Helen[edit]

Hi Tommy,

Your page is very organised by adding the sub-titles and I like the way you present the controversies in the formation of the block.

Here are some suggestions for you:

you may add some citations in the second and third paragraph of the introduction.
more links can be added for the technical terms, for example Phanerozoic, basalt magmatism and metamorphosed etc.
a simplified geological map can be included in the geology section to show the distribution of rocks in different geological time periods.
the link 'suture' in the Component section should move to the introduction part as you mentioned it in the first paragraph.
the words in your illustrations can be larger.

Comments[edit]

Recommendation from Charles 1. For the "Intraplate Model" section and the "Flat slab subduction model" sections Bold characters can be used for showing the important terms in the sentences. In this way, audiences can understand the key characteristics easily. 2. More elaboration can be made in the caption of the image of the flat-slab subduction, like how is the thickness of the oceanic crust relate to the model. 3. The image can be a little bit bigger so the audience can understand them in the preview. 4. Regardless of the preview size of the image. the images are exceptionally well in explaining the geological processes, like South China Block-India Craton collision in the Cambrian. I like the sharp colour used in the evolutionary diagrams which depict the interesting craton collision.--Charlespsml (talk) 12:43, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Much of this information comes from a Geology Book"

This really should be replaced with a more specific reference. Oghmoir 20:05, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image needs translating[edit]

The image with Russian labels is virtually useless for English Wikipedia. It really needs translating. Hairy Dude (talk) 17:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Permian China connected to Gondwana ?[edit]

Lystrosaurus fossils have been found in China, seemingly implying that the north & south China terranes were then still connected to Gondwana:

This article is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed but in my view adds little to the nomination. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:14, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
