Content in...

 * Summery
 * Is sparse. It would be good to add basic info on the Lilesville granite. The summery should be a basic overview of the topic and give the reader a good idea on what the Lilesville granite is without going into specifics.
 * foe example. Information like: how big it is, where is it, when was it made, what are the prevalent minerals, interesting/distinguishing features, etc. I know these topics are covered in greater detail below, but it would be nice to have a short concise version in the summery.
 * Composition
 * Very good
 * History
 * Can you make Wikipedia links to Precambrian, Cambrian, argillite, mica gneiss/schist, etc...? An example of this is as follows: Argillite
 * It would be helpful to readers who are less familiar with formal geology terms to provide links to other Wikipedia pages that elaborate on these terms when you use them. This will make your article more accessible to readers who want to know more (or know anything) about jargoned terms by letting them quickly find helpful resources.
 * I really like when you explain "argillite, a fine-grained sedimentary rock". I think you should leave those one-line summaries in. Just also provide Wikipedia links.
 * Petrology
 * It may be worth restructuring a little bit of the Lilesville granite section.
 * It would be nice to know that there were k-spar megacrysts earlier, maybe in the first sentence. Maybe something like "The Lilesville granite consists of quartz monzonite, tonalite, and granodiorite with k-spar megacrysts [this is my source]".
 * I like that you talk about the contact aureole. However, the depth of which you explain the interior and exterior aureole strays from the topic of the Lilesville granite too much. You may consider deleting these subsections altogether and summarizing them in one sentence to add onto the end of the contact aureole section.
 * For example: "(explanation of the contact aureole that you already made). The exterior aureole is more iron- and titanium-rich while the interior aureole is more K rich. [this is my source]".
 * Uses
 * I'm not sure if the reference to Vulcan Materials would be allowed or if it would be considered an advertisement kind of thing. Maybe you should check with Dr. Carmichael.
 * You end with the remark "Granite is also commonly used in household kitchen countertops", but do they use Lilesville granite in counter tops or is it just a general remark about the use of granite in countertops.

organization

 * Petrology header was very long with a lot of sub-headers. I still think the best course of action would be to delete the interior and exterior aureole section and put a smaller amount of information on the contact aureole section.

Images and media

 * Image 1: Lilesville granite normal scale
 * Very good, may consider adding orthoclase to the rest of the wright up instead of saying k-spar. On the other hand, you could change the mineralogy caption from orthoclase to k-spar.
 * Image 2: Lilesville granite next to a mafic dike
 * Very good.
 * Image 3: thin section
 * This is an image of the interior aureole and may not be relevant to the Lilesville granite. You may consider deleting this image.

overall impression
A very good start! I think that overall, this is a strong page. I hope you find these comments helpful. Also note that I was not trying to attack your paper just point out anything that I was not sure about.
