[edit] Article history

I am not an expert in ice and snow. I became curious in these topics after writing several snow/avalanche articles. Periodically tweaking them I learned a new word, snow drift/snowdrift, and inserted it into some pages. This gave me an idea to check whether there exists article about drift. It turned out to be a disambig page, in which I noticed a red link ice drift. I decided to blue it, reasonably assuming that there should be a plenty of books on the topic. To my amazement, I discovered a yet another large lacuna in wikipedia (the first one was avalanche control, see user:Laudak) and there are quite a few terms not only undescribed in wikipedia, but also rarely used in its articles. So I randomly picked the term ice rafting as the first one in the series of ice and drift related stubs. Since I am an ignorant here, I don't intend to go beyond stubs. And since I will be inserting wikilinks wherever possible, I hope these breadcrumbs lure some experts. Laudak (talk) 01:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
