Geology of the Grand Canyon area[edit]

I've wrote pretty much the whole thing and am now working on History of the Grand Canyon area offline. I'd like to put this through FAC. So far I plan to expand the lead section a bit and add photos. What else can be done to make this article a good FAC? --mav 02:51, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • It looks pretty good to me overall, although I'm not versed in the Geology. There are, perhaps, a few too many dead links in the text. Perhaps the important ones can be added to the requests for pages, or redirected to existing content? — RJH 17:05, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • I'll see about creating some stubs for those. (I remember a time when it was common for over half the links in an article to be dead...) --mav 22:56, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Many of the red links now taken care of. --mav 04:33, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • A lot of interesting information here. Minor suggestions for improvement - the image at the top does not look very good as currently presented, it doesn't really invite the reader to scroll past it for the rest of the article. I think it would look better right-justified and smaller. The intro is currently a big chunk of text, it might look better split into some paragraphs. I'm also curious as to why each stratum was named as it was, and I think the explanation of what unconformities and noncomformities are and the distinction between them could be made clearer. Are they in fact distinct concepts? Worldtraveller 11:16, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Image fixed lead now 3 paras. There are parenthetical explanations of the different kinds of unconformities along with links to unconformity. I don't have a source that gives the origin of the different names. --mav 04:33, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
