 * ... that the island of Cyprus is the result of of the Anatolian tectonic plate and the African plate colliding?

Created by Tobias1984 (talk). Nominated by Carabinieri (talk) at 02:14, 4 March 2013 (UTC).


 * I didn't find anything in the cited source to suggest this directly. Needs a better, less convoluted source maybe? But length and newness criteria are good. Ashwin147 (talk) 05:02, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hook source problem cited above. Needs to be addressed or responded to. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:06, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, no close paraphrasing seen. The language of the sources and the article is very academic, though, so it's hard for me to understand, much less suggest an alt hook. I added a "citation needed" tag to one sentence because I didn't see anything about seismic activity in the source; it just seems to be talking about subduction. I think the article would benefit from a few more sources from sites other than the Geological Survey of Cyprus; there are plenty of research papers available on the web.

 * Sorry, I didn't even see that this was nominated. I will do some corrections to the sources and the hook tomorrow. --Tobias1984 (talk) 16:10, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems part of the problem may be that the references don't use the term Anatolian Plate, instead referring to the Eurasian Plate which includes the Anatolian region (at least in older sources). I've removed the cite needed tag as the sentence is supported by the ref after the next sentence. Vsmith (talk)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough etc. Sources support the hook. I agree that a wider range of sources would be good, and there are plenty of them on this rich subject, but that does not disqualify this initial version of the article. GTG. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:55, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
