Talk:Cap carbonate

message: The articles on cap carbonate is still a stub. It defines what is cap carbonate and talks briefly about the formation. Everything listed here is related to the topic, but not enough reliable and sufficient information is provided. Although this gives the basic information on the subject, it can't provide a strong overview of this topic. Since I am going to list the article, the following sections would be covered: the origins of the cap carbonate, the formation process and how it is related to snowball earth.Timmyhuanghe (talk) 04:55, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Evaluate the Article 

message: I am a graduate student at Georgia Tech. I am going to edit this Wikipedia page as a final project for my Biogeochemical Cycles class.
I will add a few sections to this article, including but not limited to, the origins of the cap carbonate, the formation processes and how it is related to snowball earth. I will keep updating my sandbox for the article weekly. My editing for the article should be done by April 12th. Feel free to give suggestion on my future editing.Timmyhuanghe (talk) 23:06, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
