message: This article is a good choice for editing because of the limited information it currently has. 
Having numerous sections would be very helpful in this article to help readers find the information they are looking for in an organized manner.
Some potential things you can include in this article would be: geography (climate, location...etc) of the area where the plate is location, possible volcanoes near the area (if any exist), life for inhabitants near this plate, any geologic activity that may be happening or has happened in the past, and possible effects of having that plate there.
More sources are needed to make the information more credible.
Pictures of any kind relating to the plate or life effected by the plate would add an interesting look to the article as a whole. Miramarble95 (talk) 20:53, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

message: The article starts in a great way for the fact that it lets the reader know what to expect from the rest of the article. The rest of the article is pretty broad which allows you to add way more information. Something that could be added to the article to give it an improvement is the geography of where the plate is, allowing the reader to have some broad information. When talking about plates it could be a good idea to talk about if there are people living there, or if there surrounding volcanoes because it will allow the reader to know if the are can be dangerous and the effects this plate may have. Great start to the article!

message: I SEE THAT THERE IS REALLY GOOD INFORMATION, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO EXPAND IT MORE. ALSO IT IS IMOPRATANT TO TALK IF THE COCOS PLATE IS IT ACTIVE ALL THE TIME OR HOW OFTEN IS ACTIVE.
I SUGGEST THAT YOU WORK ON YOUR IDEAS I SEE MANY SHORT SENTENCES, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THEY ARE EXPLAINED BETTER  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Montserrat15 (talk • contribs) 22:48, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Your post is well-written and free of grammatical errors. I would advise to just focus on putting your sentences together a little better. But, I also agree with the previous reviewers. Every sentence has great information, but it's just stating locations. I would look at other articles to see what other information can be found to add them in.Iloveolivine!

message: A recent addition to the lead suggested that recent research showed that the Cocos Plate was split into two during the 2017 Chiapas earthquake. This was a misreading of the rather sensationalist  National Geographic item, based on this Nature paper. The unusual thing about this earthquake is that the rupture appears to have propagated through the whole of the lithosphere in the downgoing Cocos slab. So, yes this was a case of faulting going from the surface through to the mantle, however, it was only about 160 km in length, compared to the whole plate, which is more than 1000 km across, so it in no sense split the plate into two, despite the title of the NG piece.
