Chile Ridge
- ... that the Chile Ridge has a slab window, a gap where the asthenosphere is thin? Source: "A Review on Forearc Ophiolite Obduction, Adakite-Like Generation, and Slab Window Development at the Chile Triple Junction Area: Uniformitarian Framework for Spreading-Ridge Subduction" [1]

Is it correct that this is a histmerge of two previously separate pages? If so, this is most definitely a 5x expansion. Certainly long enough. Earwig overlaps appear to be proper names or common phrasing. The writing style reads a bit more like a paper or lesson than an encyclopaedia article, but I am not seeing any neutrality issues. That said, the italics scattered throughout the article, such as at the end of the lead, seem quite out of place. I have a concern about the hook. It seems to be going for strong jargon, even in its explanation. I'm not opposed to some jargon, but in this particular case the jargon appears in a form that may not be easier for a reader to fill from the article. "asthenosphere" appears only once, and not in a sentence that lends much explanation. Could we perhaps de-jargon the hook a bit, and also de-jargon a sentence in the article to use similar language for easier searching? QPQ is done. Best, CMD (talk) 12:52, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
- I have cut back the italics. Here are some alternative hooks all saying the same thing, with variations on the amount of jargon.
- alt0a ... that the Chile Ridge has a slab window?
- alt0b ... that the Chile Ridge has a slab window, a region that has very thin crust above the asthenosphere?
- alt0c ... that the Chile Ridge has a region that has very thin crust above the asthenosphere?
- alt0d ... that the Chile Ridge has a region that has very thin crust above the soft part of the mantle?
Thanks, passing with a preference (promoter welcome to have a different preference) for a combination of b and d, like so: alt0e ... that the Chile Ridge has slab window, a region that has very thin crust above the soft part of the mantle? CMD (talk) 15:08, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Promoter's comment: I took ALT0a because we should at least save the suspense of what a slab window is, not tell the whole story for some hookiness. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 07:08, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
