Article Evaluation
Raisin Bread

The information is neutral and well cited. The "History" and "Varieties" sections have overlapping information, and varieties mentioned under "History" are not listed in "Varieties". I think the "In cosmology" section could be elaborated to better explain the analogy's significance. Some biased references such as advertisements are cited, but it is made clear that they are biased. Overall the article is well organized but very short. This article is part of the WikiProjects "Food and drink" and "Breakfast". The issues raised in the Talk page are all from 2013 and have since been resolved.

Champlain Thrust
This article is in the scope of two WikiProjects (United States and Vermont) but is ranked as low priority for both.

The first thing that I noticed the article is missing is a map showing where the thrust is in Vermont.

The article's only section other than the lead is "Prominent exposures" which is only two sentences, so I think that could use some work. I'd also like to expand the article into more sections, even if they are still fairly short.

I think it could be organized into "Formation/Orogeny", "Composition" and "Geography".

Paleozoic Era
Starting in the Paleozoic Era the supercontinent Pannotia began to break up, forming smaller continents including Laurentia (North America and Greenland), Gondwana, Baltica, and Siberia. At the same time sea levels were rising, which resulted in the flooding of most of the continents with shallow epicontinental seas. This was followed by three periods of extensive orogeny. Much of the geology in New England is based on formation of the Appalachian Mountains through a series of Paleozoic accretion episodes to the terminal collision between Laurentia (proto–North America) and Gondwana (proto–Africa–South America) at ca. 300 Ma.

Cambrian Period
In the early Cambrian the supercontinent Rodinia split apart into Laurentia, Gondwana, Siberia, and Baltica. Mid-Cambrian rifting resulted in the separation of Laurentia into North America and Greenland.

Ordovician Period
During the Middle Ordovician volcanic island arcs collided with the east coast of North America causing extensive metamorphism, faulting, and uplift, the result of which was the Taconic Mountains on the border of New York and New England. This mountain-building event is known as the Taconic orogeny. After the Taconic orogeny, the Humber seaway was on its way to closure and Dashwoods microcontinent accreted to Laurentia. This then led to the accretion of oceanic terranes including the Bay of Islands in Newfoundland and Thetford Mines Ophiolite s in Quebec. Additionally, the Late Ordovician-Early Silurian Mélange was present, which consisted of blueschists and deepwater deposits, and indicates that subduction continued during this time.
