[edit] Wikipedia:Science collaboration of the week

Physical oceanography is a current candidate on the Science collaboration. Vote for it if you want to see this article improved. --Fenice 07:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Scientific peer review

A scientific peer review has been started and we're looking for Wikipedians who are members of the scientific academic community to run for the board. If you want to give it a shot come over and post a little about yourself. New nominations are being accepted until the 00:00 on the 17th March.

The project aims to combine existing peer review mechanisms (Wikipedia peer review, featured article candidate discussion, article assessment, &c.) which focus on compliance to manual of style and referencing policy with a more conventional peer review by members of the scientific academic community. It is hoped that this will raise science-based articles to their highest possible standards. Article quality and factual validity is now Wikipedia's most important goal. Having as many errors as Britannica is not good–we must raise our standards above this. --Oldak Quill 18:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I feel I should appologise

I haven't been around lately and so the portal hasn't been updated in a long time. I'm rectifying that right now. :) Iotha 05:29, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pediment

Can anyone write about pediments and pediplains in geomorphology? ACrush ?!/© 05:05, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Soil

WikiProject Soil is a new wikiproject covering about 250 articles, almost all of which seem to be of pre-publication quality. Project formation was prompted by {{WPCD}} tagging of 14 soil related articles. See here for the project's article assessment format. It includes an importance-to-the-project column and a quality-grade column. Any feedback on this approach would be appreciated. -- Paleorthid 16:19, 11 June 2030 (UTC)

[edit] Vote for Water cycle at the Article improvement drive

Why?

  • A fundamental concept in Earth science
  • Important for understanding valued and changing water resources
  • Shouldn't be too hard to complete the article
