Phanerozoic[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I've recently added a lot of info since I realized that this article is rated as Start Class. After adding the "Eras of the Phanerozoic" section, I believe that it's, at the very least, rated GA. If you disagree, don't be afraid to tell me. I'd appreciate your input!

Thanks

I've notified WikiProject Geology about this PR, we could consider inviting editors from the volunteer list too. For GA, the article needs to pass a formal review per its criteria. At a quick glance, I would say the lead section has to be expanded to appropriate length. You can nominate it for GA if you wish to after this PR closes. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 09:59, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • At the moment it would fail WP:DYK which is a pretty low bar. This is because not all paragraphs are referenced. The chances are that other references already used could do for the unreferenced paragraphs. I also think it dos not have enough on what the unit as a whol means, mostly it is taken up with the subdivisions. The boundary section needs boosting considerably, with references included. Also the pictures are focused on ancient animals, we could have something modern as that too is Phanerozoic, and plants could do with a showing. Also missing is history of plate tectonics, amount of carbon dioxide, and oxygen in the air, temperature. Are there any representative sections on the surface of the earth that covers the whole Phanerozoic? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:24, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wait a minute. Why'd I put GA class? I meant to put C class :|.
