Hi, read your note on Talk:Fossil. Jump right in, your experience will be welcome there and on other paleo & bio subjects. Enjoy! Vsmith 18:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Potential Projects

  • Palynomorph
  • fossils 1)The importance of lower Cambrian Lagerstatt during the past 20 years in elucidating early metazoan evolution; 2) Explanation of relevance of fossils to science of geology; 3) The role of erosion and consequent sedimentation in creating the fossils record
  • Category:Geologic formations - quite a few missing
  • Category:Paleontological sites - lot of MIAs here too
  • Kaili Formation finish and references
  • Doushantuo Formation finish & Hagadorn reference
  • Lagerstätte Utah formations
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject Arthropods maybe
  • Living fossil - a problem of inevitable subjectivity might be unfixable
  • House Range - Hagadorn & Gaines papers
  • Messel Pit - Laggerstat attribution & picture
  • Palaeochiropteryx - PNAS phylogeny paper > http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/98/11/6241
  • Rayonnoceras
  • Actinopterygii
  • Chondrichthyes
  • Replace copyrighted images
  • add Fossil images across Geologic time periods
  • fossil resins - get Anderson's ACS symposium series
  • John Allen protocyanobacterium paper in nature - Going Green - re: appearance of photosynthesis
  • Trilobite

[edit] spam?

Hi SNP- you seem knowledgable about what is and is not spam - would you count [this] as spam? The IP user added 5 at the same time, I removed one and gave them a note about it, but I didn't really feel bold enough to remove it from pages I was not watching. Thanks for your help/advice. Cheers Geologyguy 00:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Geologyguy. Yes I would. I’m not so knowledgeable, but I’m getting a little bolder. I’ve watched how user:Vsmith and user:DanielCD watch over some pages in my areas of interest – when in doubt, I suggest asking them. If you mess up, it will probably get fixed anyway. I’m usually researching and working on a project for WP with my minimal available time, but it is irritating to see the spam and sabotage. Fortunately, there are many dedicated people who fix things. What I’ve learned is, if users only add links, and not content, it usually gets reverted pretty quick. SNP 01:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Geologyguy: I see you are a geologist, whereas I'm more comfortable with evolution and phygenetics. I'm researching the House Range in Utah where I hunted fossils when much younger. Maybe we can collaborate on this. Montana's not too far away. SNP 01:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks - indeed, I too watch and try to emulate Vsmith and DanielCD. Researching the House Range for Wikipedia, or for your own research? Cheers Geologyguy 01:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, yes, for WP. But I am slow and thorough.
