    Hi, Geologyguy, Welcome to Wikipedia!

    I hope you like this place and want to stick around. Feel free to contribute in any way you can. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

    I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make silly mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful, and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

    Good luck! -Chairman S. 21:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Welcome!

    I see you created an article Misty fjords and that you are a geologist. You may be interested in joining the Wikipedia:WikiProject Protected areas, an attempt to coordinate all protected areas worldwide in standardizations for protected areas. To coincide with the official name of the protect area page you created, I have moved it to Misty Fjords National Monument. It is important that we also not timestamp on the article pages, only doing so in talk pages and on the discussion pages. Let me know if I can be any help to you on future editing as I have been around awhile.--MONGO 09:46, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

    Thanks very much. I'm basically a newbie, and I appreciate your revisions greatly.

    When you upload images you hold the copyright to, please be sure to tag them with {{gfdl}}, otherwise we can't be sure of the copyright status of the images and may have to delete them at some point. Thanks for your contributions. --Gmaxwell 03:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] re:Glacier NP

    Thank you for your kind comments. I was born and raised in Montana, so I am very familiar with the park, and that does make it easier to write about it. It would be nice to come home, but my work keeps me elsewhere. I'm sure I'll see your work and help as I can. Happy editing!--MONGO 17:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Geophysical survey article

    Thanks for your input regarding the "Geophysical survey" article. It has been moved to Archaeological geophysics. When I wrote that article, it was to replace a rather poor one that dealt only with archaeological applications and was linked only from archaeological articles. The Geophysical survey page is now wide open for a really good general article on the subject that I, as an archaeologist, am not qualified to write. ---Tapatio 15:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

    Thanks very much for doing that. I'll try to work on the more general article, but it will not be immediately. Cheers --Geologyguy 15:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Amchitka

    Hi Geologyguy,

    Amchitka is a current featured article candidate. What's needed is a section on the geology of the island, and I wondered whether you might be able to assist? If you could help by summarising this source - and any others you think appropriate - it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jakew 21:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Gondwana

    Thanks for the correction with Gondwana. Nurg 09:33, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Glacier

    re: "The Great Lakes formed approximately at the end of the Pleistocene period, when the glacier-carved lake basins were filled with melt water from the retreating ice sheet."

    I was just about to revert that myself, but I wouldn't call it vandalism, exactly. It's a true statement; it seems more like a kid trying to contribute, albeit a bit sloppily. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 23:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
    Thanks for the clarification! Cheers Geologyguy 00:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Yellowstone

    Yes, it has been very difficult to resume working on that article, expand the sections, add better references and the like when dealing with that editor. I posted on the arbcom case some information regarding his edits, especially the one where he removed an entire section and then deliberately altered the spelling in the remaining section. While an accidental removal of a chunk of text can be explained as an accident, altering that spelling is clearly vandalism. Anyway, maybe in a few weeks I can get back to the article and resume where I left off and all assistance to make improvements are always welcome. Thanks.--MONGO 21:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

    CamperStrike has been confirmed by checkuser [1] to be a blocked editor evading his blocks and has now been blocked indefinitely. Expect to see some other anon or trolling IP's to make an effort to continue to stir up trouble on Yellowstone and related articles.--MONGO 13:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

    Interesting! Maybe that page can settle down now! Thanks. Cheers --Geologyguy 14:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
