Hi Christycheungkayan

In relation to File:GeoMap of Loess Plateau.png, you claim it is your own work. But it looks as if it is a scan of a map with a red line on it and a scale superimposed. If so you will need to credit the original map. And if it is not free, then it cannot be used. The map is so busy looking that we cannot really tell where it is.

Please don't add footnotes to the headings, as it disturbs the contents. Instead add your references to the paragraphs. Every paragraph should have at least one reference to say where info comes from.

Also what is Eu/Eu? It looks like the ratio of europium to europium. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:34, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Introduction Perhaps you can add some links on geology terms such as Quaternary, Gobi Desert and escarpments. The table 'Climate and environmental changes'is incomplete. Also, which event(s) lead to the changes in those aspects? In the 'Natural Hazards' table, it would be more informative if it showed the impacts/ causes that are closely related to Chinese Loess Plateau, especially for 'Dust storms' and 'Floods and droughts'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LklAndy (talk • contribs) 06:42, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Great use of tables! Very informative! Well organised outline.

I think you need a title.

It would be better if you could add a map showing which part of China is the Loess Plateau located in. Just a map with a red dot will do.

I had a misunderstanding in "This figure shows the change in geomorphology in the Loess Plateau." in the second figure. I read the figure before I read the paragraphs so I thought it was a change in geomorphology through time (from mountain to alluvial plane to river). Could change it into "This figure shows the relationship between the formation different geomorphology in the Loess Plateau".

In the third figure, "This map shows the geological development and sediments thickness in the Loess Plateau", well I don't quite see the geological development in the map. I think the geological development of the area is nicely presented in the table.

There are two blanks in the "climate and environment table". I guess you can say "NA" or "No effect" to clarify them a bit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasminesongy (talk • contribs) 06:23, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, The concepts are easy to understand, and the extensive usage of tables makes the page very organised. Some tables have missing content. Is it because we do not have such data or they are not important? I am a bit confused on this sentence: ‘Although not enough studies have been done for the impact of the population growth on the frequency of natural hazards in the Loess Plateau, there are more and more abnormal and extreme natural hazards.’ Is this sentence making the previous statement of ''‘People clear the forest to get more land for agriculture activities and use the wood for fuel and building materials. This is the reason why the forest cover has decreased dramatically.’'' invalid if there is not enough studies to support this cause? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TseKiChun (talk • contribs) 03:09, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
