Actually, they can still be enlarged. Add a size parameter, like [[File:Example.png|thumb|350px]] to change from the default thumbnail size. For more on images, see this page. Regards,  fetchcomms 02:16, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Saganagan Orogeny

[edit]

You are very welcome - another thing to check is to look at the sources you used and see if they list any sources (books or journal articles). You could also contact the professors who made the web pages and the person who wrote the blog and see if they can suggest any other sources. Good luck!

Supercontinents & Statemaster

[edit]

Hi, the Statemaster article about supercontinents is a copy of the Wikipedia article - most of their articles are copies of ours. Scroll down to the bottom of the Statemaster page to see the licence information. DuncanHill (talk) 23:43, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article History of the Rove Formation you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:History of the Rove Formation for things which need to be addressed.

Laterite peer review

[edit]

Thanks for ther note on my talk page and glad my comments were helpful. I moved your comments back to Wikipedia:Peer review/Laterite/archive1 - that way anyone clicking on the PR can see what your responses were. I replied to a few points already and will look at the article again and make more comments, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Widow's peak

[edit]

I have tried to fix this up for you, but there is a disjoint in the history because of the way you copied the page to user space. If you do this again would be better to copy the source of the page rather than the displayed page and that would not give the disjoint in the history changes. Keith D (talk) 11:55, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When I said copy the source of the page I meant go into edit on the page you want to take a copy of and select all of the text in the box and then paste that text into the new user sub-page. This gives a starting point where the article and the user sub-page are identical and they can be put back together as you can match one version of each.

Stratigraphic units - formal names and caps

[edit]

Formal names of stratigraphic units are always capitalized. So it should be the Rove Formation, Animikie Group, etc. See Category:Geologic formations - although I see some there aren't, more to fix. Vsmith (talk) 03:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I was reading Algoman orogeny and noted the Greenland connection at the end. When I tried to view the source - book by Yadav, P. R., I get a problem. Neither Amazon nor Barnes and Noble list the book by given ISBN. The Google books page attributes it to Discovery Publishing House, but they publish religious books. Do you have the book? ...to verify isbn etc. Searching the author on amazon gives mainly biology publications from India. ...
OK - just searched google books again and got the title page which gives the stated isbn and pub. by Discovery Publishing House of New Delhi. Seems google books confuses the pub and amazon doesn't recognize or list the isbn. Sorry 'bout my rambling as I think here - need to clarify the ref link info it seems, will attempt that now. Vsmith (talk) 13:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article has improved a great deal since you last saw it, and it is now a FARC. Could you take another look and comment or make a declaration? Thanks. :) --mav (reviews needed) 16:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nipissing sills

[edit]

Thanks for doing work on the Nipissing sills article. It is not too often I see WP users working on articles related to Canadian volcanism apart from myself :-). BT (talk) 20:40, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome!! It appears that I will only get the article from a stub status to a start. I am visiting Vancouver from Minnesota and thought I'd be able to access some Canadian sites here that I'm able to at home. So far I haven't. I live about 100 miles from the Canadian border on Lake Superior. A lot of our geology is interrelated.Bettymnz4 (talk) 20:48, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking care of the wikilinking for me!! That's one of my last steps as I write an article, or try to do substantial work on it (a task I'd rather not perform!!) I do sincerely thank you for that. I do believe I've done as much as I'm going to on this article. I'm going to try to do an article on the Nor-Wester Mountains of Thunder Bay next. We flew out of Thunder Bay to Vancouver on WestJet - very nice experience!!Bettymnz4 (talk) 21:11, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. You are right about that much of U.S. geology is interrelated with Canadian geology. Its a shame that lots of articles about Canadian geology do not get the attention they diserve.....Volcanism is a massive piece of it that easily gets unnoticed. I have created and expanded several of them since I became a user on Wikipedia, the most recenr major expansion and article creation would be the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt and the Mount Cayley volcanic field in southwestern British Columbia, which are both linked to subduction zone magmatism in the western United States. Another subject that could use some expanding is the massive Mackenzie Large Igneous Province, which is likely linked the Midcontinent Rift System event. I have information that needs to be posted in its article, but I have not had time to do that. BT (talk) 21:15, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'll keep the Mackenzie LIP in mind, in relation to the Midcontinent Rift. I live right on Lake Superior so I am familiar with the rift, but hadn't paid attention to the Makenzie. I have a couple of other things I want to address before I look at this. One of them is to look at the rift article to see how comprehensive it is. (Sigh, so many articles, so little time.;) )Bettymnz4 (talk) 21:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

[edit]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial currently scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 14:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am on vacation and will review this next week.

Laterite stuff

[edit]

Hi and glad to hear from you again on talk:laterite. Just wanted to thank you again for your good work on various articles (including laterite). Also wanted to clarify that my comments about Randy in Boise editors in my response to Schellat on my talk was not referring to your work -- just in case you had read that. Hope to see more from you soon. Cheers, Vsmith (talk) 14:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • I'm about ready to come back!!! I live within 2 miles of the North Shore of Lake Superior (planting zone 4, hence the "z4") and spend the majority of my energy during summer landscaping/tweaking the yard/etc. I've also been engrossed in crafts and following some craft blogs.

Thank you for your encouraging words. I haven't read your comments to Randy yet. I also appreciate your defense of my work. I'm aware I shouldn't rely almost solely on Google Scholar; our regional library consortium doesn't have a large selection of scholarly geology books. I have gone to two college libraries and they didn't either. Bettymnz4 (talk) 14:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

[edit]

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Widow's peak.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks! AnomieBOT 05:14, 3 April 2011 (UTC) If you do not wish to receive this message in the future, add {{bots|optout=AnomieBOT-OrphanReferenceFixer}} to your talk page.[reply]

For Mankato State, I don't understand how it could something destroyed in the future?Naraht (talk) 21:38, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was going through some of my papers and found the letter inviting me to attend an orientation meeting in the spring of 1969. (In the fall of 1969 I was elected Vice President of the new organization.) After I found the letter, I looked up SPURS in Wikipedia and saw that chapters were listed; I listed Mankato and then recycled the invitation letter.Bettymnz4 (talk) 16:31, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Which means it isn't a verifyable source and should be deleted, right?Naraht (talk) 01:29, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you think so.

You're most certainly welcome Bettymnz4, thank you kindly for your note of appreciation! :)  -- WikHead (talk) 19:25, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Algoman orogeny

[edit]

The Algoman orogeny article is being considered at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geology#Algoman orogeny, a Good Article prospect for nomination for Good article status. The article is outside of the knowledge base of both myself and Nwhit, so we'd thought we'd ask you how you felt about it, since you did the work. --Bejnar (talk) 10:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds wonderful!!! (Sorry for not indenting; it's been so long since I've working on Wikipedia that I don't remember the method.)

Great Lakes tectonic zone

[edit]

Hello. You are a master of the Great Lakes tectonic zone. Do you know a link between Lake Superior, Mississippi Valley and New Madrid Seismic Zone ? Thx. Regards --Chris.urs-o (talk) 14:58, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe there is a link. Lake Superior drains east through the other Great Lakes and then via the St Lawrence River to the Altantic. The Mississippi River was formed by melting ice sheets. The New Madrid Seismic Zone is too far south. Hope this helps you. Bettymnz4 (talk) 18:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You might be wrong, glaciers and rivers tend to flow through faults. Regards ;) --Chris.urs-o (talk) 16:57, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doc Savage

[edit]

First Dearie, I'm not a vandal. To call me such is to violate WP:Good Faith. Now, I've suggested Doc Savage. He is an Iconic Pulp Fiction era Hero who is best known for a Widow's Peak. I've linked him to his article, second line in Overview. I shall admit to not bothering to read that citation#13, as the title alone did not seem to justify it's placement. I've since corrected that oversight, and have provided another.

BTW, that you have been so resistant to this edit tells me how little you know about both Doc Savage and famed individuals with widow's peaks. Goodle Image Search will pull up 95% images with a widow's peak.

Might I suggest you also set your sights on removing the citations with TV Tropes, as that is an Unreliable Source. See: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_80#tvtropes.orgLove Robin (talk) 21:13, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A review of my contributions would show I do not display the characteristics of a vandal. A review of the character's WP article would have shown the edit as righteous. I primarily hang out on Kim Possible related pages, and when someone comes along with an edit, I check and double-check and perform due diligence. It takes more than a couple reverts before I'll cry "vandal". However, I've dealt with my fair share of vandals, so I can relate where you're coming from. – Love Robin (talk) 15:00, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
