Hi. You credited File:USGSEarlyJurassic.jpg as coming from the USGS, but it actually was originally made by http://www.scotese.com/jurassic.htm . Though the images are used on various government websites, e.g. http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/pltec/sc195ma.html, they actually credit C.R. Scotese. It is important to check when uploading images from a government website to make sure that the government actually created the image. --B (talk) 16:26, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Basin Review by Kelsey Jenkins

Hi Erin,

Overall what you have so far is nice! Obviously fill in the topics that do not yet have information. You're first photo also needs a description. I also suggest aligning your second and third picture to the center or left for aesthetics. You do also have some reference errors where you might have a mistyped ISBN number. You also have some repeated references, see reference numbers 2, 5, 7, 11, 18, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 which are the same reference.There are at least two or three other repeats in your references. You only need to list the reference once, and every sentence using that reference should have the same footnote number.

There are a few places where sentences are run ons or don't flow very well. I suggest maybe reading your article out loud just to see how it sounds so you can determine what verbage would sound better. One sentence that stood out to me in particular was one in your "Early to Mid-Jurassic Section:"

--These rotations, happening before, then during and after rifting at the seafloor spreading center, created the current geographical shape of the Gulf of Mexico and the current placement of the Yucatan Peninsula

Its just a little difficult to read and understand.

Other than that your page is very well researched and the sections you have so far have a lot of information. Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any specific questions about my review.
