Cindy: Good 1st Draft - Minor Changes
-In the “Geologic History” section, the sentence: “Subsequent to Cenozoic Indo-Asian collision was the Jurassic-Cretaceous collision of the Lhasa and Qiantang terranes” --- You may have mixed up the way you want to say this because Jurassic-Cretaceous precedes Cenozoic. -I recommend you place the double brackets for geologic terms to help the general reader. -The “End Member Model Predictions” section is great because you provide a way to test the models. However, I would suggest you add a little bit more information on each model. The two models you present are based on observations… what are they? How did these models formulate? I think it would be good to have supporting evidence for each model.

Me rikey. Pictures are very handy. Some seems a little thin, like soft Tibet vs. microplate. Maybe link to the wiki on "obduction" when you mention it. I don't have any real complaints other than maybe flesh some things out. But it's a rough draft, so duh. -John

Taylor Berlin Critique
In the beginning of the first paragraph possibly bold Bangong Nujiang suture zone so the reader knows what the main topic is. Include more hyperlinks for words that a more casual fan of geology might not know to make it easier for them to find the meanings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tberli3 (talk • contribs) 13:49, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * For your image File:Map of the Bangong suture zone.jpg you should have named the suture on the map. Also the text could be bigger so that it is visible in the thumbnail.  Perhaps colour could be used more to mark the terranes.  What does grey indicate?
 * For your main headings use ==Geological history== without extra bolding. The three ===h=== are for subheadings.
 * Put the full stops before references and none after. References can also include DOIs and links to online presence of articles.  Journal names should be written in full.
 * You say that Jurassic is subsequent to Cenozoic. Something is wrong here.
 * The Amdo massif gets a mention but it is unclear where this is.
 * It is unknown where the ends of this zone are. It could be good to have more geographical description of where it is.
 * Has it any effect on geomorphology?
 * Who was the first to discover this suture? Did it have earlier names?
 * An extra diagram could be a north - south crustal section.
 * Another diagram could be a Jurassic map showing the formation of the suture.
 * I would like top see more detail on the strata and formations of rock making up the surrounding terranes and the zone itself.
 * Are there any mineral deposits resulting from the suture? Does it determine the location of earthquakes?
 * Are there geophysical measurements of the area to give more information?

Bangong - Pangong?
Just a comment about some context. The Bangong suture appears to be named after Bangong Lake. The Wikipedia article about the lake use the title Pangong Tso (with a redirect from Bangong Co). (This difference appears to be Pinyin vs. Giles-Wade transcription.) There is also a stub at Pangong range. It is unfortunate, but not surprising, that the geology and geography of Tibet/Ladakh is sparsely covered. Your article, or course, improves the coverage of the area. If you can, within the context of the article, link Pangong Tso and/or Pangong range, it may inspire editors to expand and improve those articles. -- Donald Albury 12:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
