In general, your additions to the Lewis overthrust wiki page add valuable and interesting content. The layout of the page is easy to follow and builds on itself nicely. With just a few additions and a little proofreading your page will be even better.
→Good:
The layout of your paper is well thought out and easy to follow. I especially like how you introduce the reader to increasingly complex ideas as the paper progresses. Each section builds on the next, making it straightforward to read.
I like the “geography” section at the beginning of the page. I think adding more interesting facts etc. to it to set the scene for geological activity would be beneficial to your page.
→Needs improvement:
More photos and diagrams are always helpful. A simple cross sectional diagram (doesn’t have to be too detailed – maybe available on wiki commons?) depicting the Lewis Thrust system would add to the reader’s ability to visualize the system.
A bit of extra proof-reading would make your paper a lot easier to read. Small fixes such as period and comma placement and general sentence structure could be improved quickly and without too much time.
I think your page would benefit from adding more Wikilinks. Even wikilinks that are not geology-related can add to your overall paper. For example, adding links like “Alberta” or “Calgary” would allow people who are not familiar with the area in general to discover more about it than what your page presents. Also geological link additions such as “Proterozoic” etc. would be helpful for people who are not familiar with the subject (or just need a quick reminder!).

Speedy deletion nomination of File:LEwisThurst3.jpg
[edit]
A tag has been placed on File:LEwisThurst3.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – Train2104 (t • c) 15:01, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
