Image Info
[edit]Deepseadrifter...welcome to Wikipedia! Looks like there are lots of Public Domain photos available from various NOAA websites. Here are some I found in quick search using Google Images:
- NOAA Ocean Explorer website with quite a few images...includes photos from Pisces missions and seabed maps
- Ocean Explorer website and another Ocean Explorer page with photo of LRT-30a submersible
- Marshall Mars photos
- NOAA Newsletter with photos and links
- NOAA image files from 2003 including photo of Pices IV recovery…note who’s working boat
- Finally, here’s website that links to many Fed Gov image galleries…everything on these sites is Public Domain
Images that come from NOAA or any other Fed Gov website are available to upload to Wikipedia unless image is specifically attributed to non-gov source. Leave note at bottom of my Talk Page if I can help with anything.--Orygun (talk) 21:33, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
[edit]Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
