Hi! I'll be reviewing this article, using the template below. I hope to complete the review over the next week. Ganesha811 (talk) 21:23, 2 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
Pass, no issues.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
No images at all. I may have specific suggestions after my prose review, but are there really no images at all we can use to illustrate this topic? GAs are encouraged to be well-illustrated. I understand that as a past landscape feature there are no actual images of the Nevadaplano, but modern analogues? Maps? Geologic images or fossils?
The vast majority of diagrams I could see are copyrighted, so no. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:38, 15 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
I think we can still provide some illustrations for the article. File:Shallow subduction Laramide orogeny.png can be used when discussing the two orogenys in the Geologic history section. File:Altiplano.jpg could be used in the lead, with a caption that mentions that the Nevadaplano was a high-altitude plain similar in nature to the contemporary Altiplano. File:Caras de Piedra.jpg could be used in a similar fashion if you prefer it. File:Romanceor Altiplano 4.jpg is a good third option. File:Ignimbrite.jpg or similar could be used to accompany the mention of ignimbrites. An image of the Sierra Nevada may also be good where they are mentioned in the body as constituting a boundary for the Nevadaplano.
I don't think most of these are particularly illustrative, certainly not the first that is unaware of the Nevadaplano's very existence. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:49, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: are there any that you would be willing to add to the article? We don't have to use these specific images necessarily, but I think a few illustrations are possible in the places I've pointed out - illustrating orogeny, illustrating an analogous high altitude plateau, illustrating ignimbrites, illustrating the Sierra Nevada. I am reluctant to pass this article for GA if there are possible illustrations and it remains totally bereft of any images. Ganesha811 (talk) 13:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Go ahead and add it. The more (reasonable) images, the better - ping me when you're satisfied and I'll take another look. Thanks! Ganesha811 (talk) 18:00, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: the review is now complete, with one outstanding issue - illustration. I've made some suggestions for potential images. Ganesha811 (talk) 20:15, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: This article now passes GA. Congrats to you and anyone else who worked on it. Ganesha811 (talk) 21:26, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
