 * Symbol question.svg New and long enough, Earwig detects no copyvios, QPQ done. There are a couple of missing references in "Models of subduction polarity reversal", "Double convergence model", and "summary".  Hook checks out, though it would be better for it to contain some context of what subduction polarity reversal actually is. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 02:19, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg I have propagated the references. So for an alternate hook how about:
 * alt1 ... that subduction polarity reversal, where subducting tectonic plates switch roles, explains topographic differences between regions of Taiwan?

 * Symbol question.svg I made some copyedits to the hook.  A few sentences near the beginning of "Models of subduction polarity reversal" are still missing references. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 02:17, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Those sentences are just a lede for the subsequent model sections, but I will add the same references to all the sentences if you wish. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:31, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great, ALT1 is good to go! Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 01:33, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
