Hi, Comments from Austin.

Overall, looking good I like your intro about the origin of Sumatra and the layout of the article.

Structure: The first sentence in this section may need some re-wording. Here you are presenting two different ideas in one sentence. Unless the prism width is why it is important?? Try to hit the punch line of what the important role is. Explanations between the two diagrams in this section would be useful. You could direct the reader to the diagrams for a visual representation and explain the differences between them and how they relate to the content you provide.

North - Central - South Sumatra Regions: One thing that could be of benefit is a figure which summarizes the content presented here or a map with that has lat - lon plotted and highlight the areas you are describing.

Sediment Thickness: Second paragraph, second sentence: To flow better you could flip the sentence around. In the previous sentence your ending with the notion that the Bengal fan and Nicobar Fan are sources. Therefore, mention first the distance form the source is indicated by the decreasing water depth.

What is a fossil ridge?

Comments From David
Hey, leaving my comments here by section.

Intro Paragraph

In your opening paragraph, I like how you stated what "Java" meant in Sanskrit and its mention in the epic Ramayana, but the sentence about Ramayana could start with "In" as opposed to "Also" to get a better flow.

Section 1 - Geological Settings

The first sentence gives the rate of subduction. Is this an average rate?

Section 2 - Structure

In the third sentence of the Structure sentence, about the distinguishing feature of the Sumatra subduction zone, you said it has a "relatively 120-140km accretionary prism." Is this a thick or a thin one? Average? You need a descriptive adjective. The end of the sentence could also use some work, parentheses are not necessary. The file in this section, "Structure of accretionary prism and land or seaword thrust folds.pdf," would probably fit the page better if you moved it to the right side next to the text and gave it a frame, it looks out of place.

Section 3 - Sediment

In the second part of the first part, Sediment Thickness, in which you define the minimum thickness being at South Sumatra and the maximum thickness at North Sumatra, you clarified that the minimum thickness is 1-2km, but not what the maximum thickness is.

You wrote a good article, I liked your intro. Try to get more figures in there for illustration!

Replaceable fair use File:The Sunda convergent margin and Indian-Australian oceanic plate illustrated using satellite altimetry gravity data.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The Sunda convergent margin and Indian-Australian oceanic plate illustrated using satellite altimetry gravity data.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:54, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Detailed sediment thickness in Sumatra region.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Detailed sediment thickness in Sumatra region.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
