Tara's Review[edit]

This article needs a bit of work in fleshing out the geological details, formation and importance.

There are no WikiPage links at all for this page. Work on setting these up for your article.

Your figure needs a bit of work. Especially needs a legend! Do the squiggles indicate shear zones (ductile)? Where is this cross section taken from? This needs a map to show line of section. Unfortunately, there are people who exist who do not know where the Himalaya is located. Maybe use GeoMapApp, GoogleEarth, or NASA World Wind to get a topographic profile line that you can notate with geological features/faults. Or find the .pdf file of Law et al. (2011) and import it into Illustrator for better topo representation?

What type of shear zones are you dealing with? Purely mylonitic?

Do we have to deal with reactivation of faulting here at all?

Age of faulting? How would this fit into the big picture? How do we know the ages?

Explain to us what the STD really indicates. What makes the STD important? Why should we care that it is the front of the India-Asian collision? How does it relate to the Indian plate? Asian plate?

They are hypotheses not "theories", especially if they are being actively and widely debated.

More details, of course, are needed for these models that you bring up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terranova274 (talk • contribs) 19:59, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, is your topic also called "North Himalayan Normal fault" or is this just the boundary, as mentioned in Geology of Nepal. I would like to see you flesh out each of the models, with references to the proponents of them. You say it is interesting, but there needs to be more text there to convince the reader! When I check google scholar at http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?q=%22South+Tibetan+Detachment%22&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_vis=1 there are quite a few more articles for you to consider too. At this point your page is too small for DYK nomination, as well as unclearly referenced. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:10, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Losing your writing[edit]

It is frustrating to lose your editing. When I look at the history, by clicking on the history tab I can see that you did not get to save it. One technique that I may use is to write it all up to start with in notepad or word. And then paste in a large block. But that does not help with references well or get feedback from formatting blunders. SO now I might just save more frequently, one piece of addition at a time. Also I found that Internet Explorer is likely to lose the content of the edit box when jumping forward a screen, but Firefox handles this much better.

Please don't give up but type it in again while it is still in your head! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:29, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The delay happened because you used the articles for creation process which has a large backlog. You did not have to do this as you used your own sandbox and could have moved your article, or asked me earlier. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:39, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, South Tibetan Detachment is going to be linked from the Wikipedia main page on 19 November at 00:05 UTC and stay there for about 8 hours. So take a look at this late on 18th your time. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:55, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for South Tibetan Detachment[edit]

On 19 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article South Tibetan Detachment, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the South Tibetan Detachment inserted the Greater Himalayan Crystalline complex between the Lesser Himalayan Sequence and the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/South Tibetan Detachment. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Wikipedia Education Program: student survey![edit]

Wikipedia Education Program- student survey!

Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!

Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 22:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Tectonic wedging model of Himalaya Mountains.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Tectonic wedging model of Himalaya Mountains.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 "Click here to 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.
