[edit] Links

Hello Dr Wilson -- while I'm sure your research is reliable and useful as references on some pages, you should be aware that adding links to pages that you are associated with is considered bad form on Wikipedia. Additionally, adding the same link to many pages is considered spamming and is likewise inappropriate. I undid your link to the College of Wooster on the Geology page - we could easily link every university geology department there, but we do not by policy as it does not add anything particular that the article needs or does not have. This is called "linkfarming" - Wikipedia is not a collection of links, even when relevant. Similarly, adding the College of Wooster or bioerosion links to very peripheral pages is not a good idea, unless (as with some of your links) it is with respect to an actual reference supporting information in the article.

Please see External Links, WP:SPAM, and Conflict of Interest for more information. I'd also encourage you to discuss it with Vsmith, a geologist who has probably the most Wikiexperience of any geologist here. Regards, Geologyguy 17:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I got a little too enthusiastic. Sorry! Thanks for the direction. MW


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:MainHouseMatthewtown.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:MainHouseMatthewtown.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 23:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

SOLVED. I had just forgotten to tag this image. It is a photo I took and released to the public domain.

[edit] Vandal reversion

Remember to revert back to the original non vandalised version as you missed on Paleontology. Just a reminder, happy editing! T Rex | talk 03:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Re this edit: I've made a suggestion on the article's talk page that the entire section be removed, or moved to a separate article. Do you have any view's on the subject? – Tivedshambo (talk) 21:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Prasopora.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Prasopora.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] License tagging for Image:TurksHeadCZ.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:TurksHeadCZ.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:14, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your chipping away at geology topics. SEWilco (talk) 22:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


(As this is your first WP:BARNSTAR I'll point out many people copy the above to the bottom of their User page.)

  Thanks!

[edit] DYK: Calcite sea

Updated DYK query On 31 December 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Calcite sea, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Cornish photos

May I ask you to take a look at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Cornwall? I ask because you have already added some good pictures to Cornish articles, and it struck me you might have some more! I hope that's not too cheeky of me. Best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 04:10, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

•Thanks for asking! I don't have any appropriate ones right now, but you've given me a list for my next trip!

[edit] A request

Hi, your expertise is requested. Recently a dispute has arisen in the catastrophism and uniformitarianism (science) articles. An editor has added reference to a recent article in Science (Schieber, Juergen, John Southard, and Kevin Thaisen, "Accretion of Mudstone Beds from Migrating Floccule Ripples," Science, 14 December 2007: 1760-1763.) which he is citing as evidence supporting catastrophism and overturning uniformitarianism. I don't have access to the Science article and the publicity blurb from the university as picked up by Sciencedaily [1] doesn't seem to support his claims. Could you take a look at the Science article and perhaps comment on the various talk pages - or edit the articles directly. The user has also added a bit on the research to the sedimentology article. As this appears to be within your area of expertise we would appreciate some clarification. Thanks, Vsmith (talk) 02:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC) •I'll get right on it. Sounds interesting.

[edit] Makhtesh

Hi. Just to let you I have created pages for Makhtesh Qatan and Makhtesh Gadol.--Flymeoutofhere (talk) 20:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Excellent. Maybe next week I can begin contributing to them. I will be visiting the makhteshim in March so I can get more photos and information. Thanks!

[edit] Saaremaa

Are you sure that the Soviet regime soldier memorial photos should be illustrating Estonias largest island in the image gallery? I would like to add more images about the island nature, sights and architecture instead of the terror regime monuments. I believe that these images should be placed under the Soviet memorials of Estonia list or page instead. User:Karabinier 22:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I am sure. The history is important, and so rich. Let's add lots of nature, sights and architecture images as well to the page. Again, I have zero sympathy for the Soviet Union and its extraordinarily brutal actions in Estonia and other countries (including Russia itself). I also have no sympathy, of course, for the Nazis or the Crusaders who also rampaged across beautiful Estonia. They are all part of the inescapable history, though. Now, that said, maybe you could make a page for "Soviet memorials in Estonia" or some such and we can put the photos there and simply link to them? This particular memorial, and the style of the graves, has considerable historical and cultural interest and should not be lost. What do you think? Wilson44691 (talk) 23:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Commons

Hi there! I see that you've uploaded a heap of useful and interesting photos to the English Wikipedia. If you make an account for yourself on the Wikimedia Commons and upload them there, then your photos can be used not only here but on other projects as well (Wikitravel, Wikipedias in other languages, and so on...). Thanks for your contributions, Q·L·1968 ☿ 11:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I just tried this with one new image and it worked very well. I learn every day thanks to contributors like you. Wilson44691 (talk) 01:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
My pleasure. Keep up the good work! Q·L·1968 ☿ 23:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Tuff/Tufa

Of course I do. If you see, nearly all my changes are for volcanic tuff in Italy. True tufa is very rare. Ciao and good work!! --Attilios (talk) 17:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Edrioasteroid.png

Hi,

First, thanks for your edits to Edrioasteroid! It upsets me that so many of the smaller problematica have so little coverage on here, so it's nice to see someone tend them as they deserve!

Noticing your removal of the Ediacaran tag from the image in that article, I just thought I'd better check that the organism is indeed an Edrioasteroid? I went with blind faith with the label attached to the specimen, even though I had in my mind that it was a Tribrachidium. I'm not too knowledgeable about these things so thought I'd better make amends if I'd uploaded an image under false pretenses!

Thanks,

Verisimilus T 22:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello! That is indeed an edrioasteroid in the top image. It is not Tribrachidium, though, because it appears to be pentaradial rather than triradial, and it is skeletal rather than a mold. What exactly Tribrachidium represents is debated in any case, but it could be an early edrioasteroid. I can't tell which edrioasteroid is pictured, though, without a closer view. Problematica are much fun. I hope we can make many more additions to these pages in the next few months. I enjoy being on our little team! Wilson44691 (talk) 23:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
