Hi Ron:)! Here are some suggestions for your page:
1. In the subsection of "Transform fault zones", you may add a diagram or a map to show the locations of Tjörnes and Reykjanes Fracture Zones, as well as the transform faults, in order to let readers understand the general picture of these strcutures more easily.
2. In the subsection of "Volcanic Rift Zones", the part of Northern volcanic zone is quite well-described. As seen in the diagram, there are other zones like the East and West volcanic zone, you may add some short paragraphs to introduce the other zones as well. You may also use a table to compare the similarities or differences among these volcanic zones to show any relationships among them. As your page's title is "Geological Deformation of Iceland", you may further elaborate how these volcanic zones relate to the deformation.
3. You may link the key phrases on your article to other wikipedia pages throughout your whole page as I have noticed that in the lower sections of your page, you missed adding the hyperlinks. It can help make your whole page look more uniform.
Hello Ron, here are a few suggestions for your page;)
1. In the first paragraph of the "Transform fault zones" section, you have mentioned Tjörnes and Reykjanes Fracture Zones are "two large fracture zones associated with the transform faults. And in the "South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ)" subsection below, you have mentioned in the SISZ is known as the Reykjanes Fracture Zones. I think you may change the subsection title back to Reykjanes Fracture Zones or amend your sentence in first paragraph to avoid confusion to readers.
2. More details can be provided for South Iceland Seismic Zone (if you have time haha),as it is also a large fracture zones like the TFZ. For example elaborations for the significant change in the age and lithology of the volcanoes you have mentioned in your last sentence.
3. In "Transform fault zones" section, minor typos are found in the fifth point of "Geological evidences". (5. Because (of) erosion, glaciation and lave (lava) flow take place, the topography of a transform fault shows less relief onland than under the sea[2].)
4. You may add evolution diagrams to explain the plate motion of Tjörnes Fracture Zone.
5. Hyperlinks to other wiki pages can be added in the lower sections.

Hello Ron, here are a few comments on your wiki page.

The following are suggestions regarding your Wikipedia page:

1. May consider moving the first figure to the introductory section because your first paragraph is giving an overview of the geological setting which is neatly illustrated in the figure.
2. In both sections ‘Transform fault zones’ and ‘Volcanic rift zones’, the mechanism or model forming such deformation zones are formatted as one of the sub-categories of the structures, which is confusing.
3. You may add annotations to the real-life picture highlighting the graben and the movement of plate.
4. Check the spelling and be consistent with capitalization in the titles.
I enjoy reading your page.

This was an enjoyable read and the highest quality Iceland general geology article I had seen de-novo. Only identified an inaccurate earthquake statement, the rest was minor. To advance further than current C grade, I have started process of adding page numbers to most recent references, added some citations myself where statements not referenced, and added the convert template in case read by more international non-science trained audience.

Hi all, I do not like the sentence "The geological deformation explains the location of earthquakes, volcanoes, fissures, and the shape of the island." as 1. geological deformation occurs when greater and larger forces exert on the plates and within the volcanic systems themselves. therefore it does not "explain" 2. "island" should be islands?
So it should read "The local geological deformation informs the locations of earthquakes, volcanoes, fissures, and the shape of the islands, these deformations feed back into larger tectonic systems"
