I will review. Pyrotec (talk) 20:25, 2 July 2012 (UTC)


### Initial comments
I've had a quick read of this article and it looks to be at or about GA-level, but I'm first going to work my way through the article in a bit more detail.

Overview -
The first paragraph states: No broad blocks as old as 3 Ga are found in Precambrian shields. Toward the end of the Archean, however, some of these blocks or terranes came together to form larger blocks welded together by greenstone belts.[2]. Ga is not defined
In the same sentence, it is suggested that "blocks" and terranes are alternatives/comparable/identical (it's not clear what the relationship is, but the terms "crustal block" and named blocks do occur in terranes). We then have blocks (or terrances) becoming bigger blocks, well yes but presummably they could be bigger terranes (the next paragraph is all about terraces)?
Tectonics -
Looks OK.
Superior province -
Looks OK.
Slave province & Nain province -
These two sections Look OK.
WP:Lead -
Looks OK.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Algoman orogeny. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

The section "Minnesotan Orogeny (2680 Ma)" in the Superior Craton article says: "The Minnesotan Orogeny is associated with the accretion of the oceanic Minnesota River Valley Terrane and the composite Superior Craton." This would seem to be the same event described in this article. Should "Minnesotan orogeny" be noted as a variant name for "Algoman orogeny"? (And if not, what's the distinction?)
