Wikipedia talk:United States Education Program/Courses/Plate Tectonics (Alex Webb)

Welcome to the talk page

This is a place where you can ask questions, talk about problems, and discuss the Wikipedia assignment with classmates and other Wikipedians.

Image use

I have noticed that an important part of the project is use of images. I will explain a bit about that. The picture to the right is included with this wikitext: [[File:Dundasite and Crocoite.jpg|thumb|right|Dundasite and Crocoite from Tasmania, Australia]] You can change the image by changing the name after File: The images used on Wikipedia come from another web site called WP:Commons as well as being locally hosted. New users will not be able to upload an image here, but can do so at commons:commons:upload. Pictures uploaded at Commons have to have a copyright license that allows free use and modification for any purpose, and I recommend the Creative Commons CC_BY-SA-3.0 license. This means that you have to own the copyright on the image before you can grant such a license. That is why it is much easier to contribute your own work. It is normally not acceptable to pinch someone else's picture and upload it, as we would need proof from the other person that their image is freely licensed. I am willing to help out by uploading images if they are placed on flickr, or another web site with the free copyright stated. You can read more about images at WP:Image.

Did you know

I have nominated all the articles for Did you know. Those accepted will be linked on the main Wikipedia page. If you come up with any other catchy one liners that will make the general reader want to read your articles you can place it here, or figure out how to add the alternatives to the nominations.

I would like to know what happened to slab graveyard?

Also a reminder when using pages like this use ~~~~ to sign your signature. Otherwise SineBot may do the job! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:24, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I missed River anticlines, it did not get listed above! It is too late for a DYK nomination now. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:33, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graeme, slab graveyard was an initial idea for an article I would write, but I realized it might be an orphan without the crustal recycling page to link from. I did see that Stephen's tectonic subsidence article was featured on the front page in the "did you know?" section! Grats Stephen! Ewalde1 (talk) 06:24, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
