Mental note that I should ask on de:Wikipedia:Bibliotheksrecherche for "Evolution of Al Haruj volcanic province, central Libya" by M. Busrewil, published in a publication named "Geology of Southern Libya" in 2012. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:49, 21 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
And I need to consider adding this publication. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:20, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Section "Vents" - Most of the lavas appear to originate in fissure vents[13] whose location was controlled by tectonic faults. Whose is typically associated with a person. Suggestion: Most of the lavas appear to originate in fissure vents in a location controlled by tectonic faults.
The suggested text had the wrong numeral, so I went for something else. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:31, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Same section, many of which form rows of cones and sometimes have large craters[19] and which occur Needs clarity regarding "and which" - does it speak to rows of cones or large craters? If the latter, how about and sometimes have large craters that occur mainly in the Al Haruj al Abyad part of Haruj.?

It refers to the rows of cones. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:31, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Section "Geology" - For better flow, consider Haruj is not located close to a plate boundary; rather, volcanism there and in other African volcanic fields located atop crustal domes have been explained with the presence of hotspots. In the case of Haruj, a mantle plume is considered unlikely. Same section: Wau an Namus is sometimes considered to be part of the field, other volcanic fields in Libya are... Suggestion: Other volcanic fields in Libya are Wau an Namus, sometimes considered to be part (what) field, Gharyan, Gabal...

Agree with both, but I'd leave "but in the case of Haruj a mantle plume is considered unlikely." Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:31, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Section "Eruption History - ...of the oldest generation lava flows, and also these of the second oldest albeit to a lesser degree. I'm of the mind that "...these of the second oldest albeit..." needs clarity. When "these" is used, something is typically being pointed to or close at hand, and I'm having trouble identifying what "these" might be. Also, a comma should precede albeit. Same section: Haruj may still be active. Some toponyms such as Garet Kibrit ("sulfur mountain") refer to volcanic activity, and solfataric activity has been reported in the field.[clarification needed] Also, in lieu of the redirect why not use fumarole?
@Atsme: Is it clearer with "that"? Rectified the "clarify" thing. The source uses "solfataric", which is more specific. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:31, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
