Recommendation:
edit1. The sentences in the introduction can be shorter to express idea more clearly. 2. The words in the images can be a little bit bigger so the readers can see what's going on in the image without clicking on it, which is more convenient. 3. The content of the tectonic evolution section can be broken into several paragraph. --Charlespsml (talk) 13:08, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
Recommendation from Karen
- I would suggest to add more links in the introduction (e.g. Pangea, sedimentary basin,Mesozoic), to ease readers without geology background.
- For "Location of junggar basin.svg", it would be better to at least indicate where is Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Tianshan. As you refer to these places when locating the Junggar Basin.
- It is good that you use table to show stratigraphy, but the organisation of table is a bit confusing. I suggest maybe bolding/ underlining the rock formation, to distinguish it from rock description at first glance. Because the column for rock columns and geology description is not consistent.
- For "Junggar basin map.png", I would like to know if there is special meaning for the thin red line and the thick grey line respectively? As in the legend you state that the symbol of having red and grey line together is the boundary, but in the figure the red line and grey line do not always stick together.

Recommendation from Helen
1. It is a bit hard to follow when reading the stratigraphy table. You might divide the table into 3 smaller tables (Northwest, south and east).
2. Is there any reason or evidence for the climatic changes during late Permian and early Triassic?
3. In the illustration of Petroleum Distribution in Junggar Basin, brown is used in the map but is not annotated in the legend. Is it a structure or a rock unit that is surrounding the boundary of the basin?

′′′Comments from Ken′′′ 1. "The basin’s preserved sedimentary records show that the climate during the Mesozoic era was marked a transition from humid to arid conditions as monsoonal climatic effects waned": "was marked" change to "marked" if I get it correctly. 2. In "Regional tectonic setting", you tried to use "There was containing about 2,000 – 4,000 m thick sedimentary layers", "There was about 1,100 – 4,000 m thick sedimentary layers","There was containing 5,000 m thick sedimentary layers". But they all should be in the same tense, i.e. past tense. 3. Good use of table summarising sedimentary successions over time. 4. In the diagrams in section "Tectonic evolution", you marked them as 1 - 8 in the diagram while you explained them as A - H. Change either way. Kenwongtk (talk) 12:27, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
Recommendation from Yansy
1. The citation should be placed after the fullstop.
2. You can use more blue links in "Regional tectonic setting" e.g. Indo-Australian Plate, hydrocarbons, Neogene, Paleogene, Triassic. Same as the table.
3. Is it possible to move the "Cross-section of Junggar Basin" so that the table can occupy the whole screen?
4. I like the animated map. It shows the changes in the sediment supply.

Improvement 1
The first diagram in Tectonic evolution might be a bit large so that the subtitle is not shown well. My suggestion is that you can edit the diagram to remove some blank space between the legend and the evolution diagram. Also, you may enlarge the legend in order to utilize the space.
Improvement 2
Try to avoid abbreviation, such as i.e. in the paragraphs.
Improvement 3
The units of the legend of the cross-section in Geology are not aligned well.
Well done
The animated schematic geological evolutionary map looks so cool but you may slow it down a bit.

- ... that sedimentary rock in the Junggar Basin in northwest China started from Permian rivers and lakes? [1]

Interesting geology on good sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Moved from draft in time. I think the main table would show more clearly without an image on the side. Please see that "rivers" are mentioned in the body, or drop them in the hook. I'm not show about "Present" vs. "present" in a section header. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:12, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
