[edit] image

That's a great picture of the Rodinia breakup. But, where did it come from? Need source info and any copyright status on the image page.

Provide detailed information on the source of the file. See Image copyright tags for more of these. Vsmith 17:04, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copywrite violations

This picture is the least of our worries.

No. Check the bottom of that page and you will find the following: This entry is from Wikipedia, the leading user-contributed encyclopedia. It may not have been reviewed by professional editors (see full disclaimer). Also the copyright note at the very bottom. Vsmith 23:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Ah, didn't look close enough. My bad.

As for the picture, it seems to come from http://www.geology.uiuc.edu/~burmeist/edu/norway.html All the other pictures seem to be made by the same person, --Mijokijo 17:35, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Columbia

The article states that Rodinia is the oldest supercontinent. What about the Columbia (supercontinent) entry? The Columbia article has no supporting links; is Columbia a reasonably accepted scientific hypothesis?

The article says that Rodinia is the "oldest-known", which should be taken to mean the oldest for which there is widespread acceptance in the field. There have been other, earlier pre-Cambrian supercontinents proposed, none of which (owing chiefly to a paucity of surviving data after so long a period) are widely agreed upon- these remain hypotheses only with scant evidence indeed. Presumably Columbia is one such proposal.--cjllw | TALK 01:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

The Russian word for motherland lacks the last "I". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.9.24.13 (talk • contribs) 18:15, 25 June 2006.
