On formating M

Regarding the symbol M used for earthquake Magnitude: do we have any notions of best practice on how it should be formatted? (E.g., italic or straight, spaced or closed-up, ??) Should subtypes be subscripted, or not? (E.g.: M_L vs. ML, etc.)

Is there any interest in having a template to handle the details? ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 23:14, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be better to pose this question at Talk:Seismic scale. RockMagnetist(talk) 23:56, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It looked like there are more watchers here. But I'm fine with moving the discussion there. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:35, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notice from the Portals WikiProject

WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:28, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a galaxy which has about two earth looking planets Satyam kumar shiv (talk) 10:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Satyam kumar shiv: This is an earth sciences portal and does not include astronomy. In any case, this talk page is only for making changes to the portal. If you have a question about this galaxy, I suggest contacting the science reference desk. RockMagnetist(talk) 21:06, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ASTROLOGICAL SIGNS

According to Astrology, there are twelve Astrological signs also know as the twelve Zodiac signs. These signs describe an individual based on their birth months and date. It describes how they behave in their society and in the world generally. Ijipaul (talk) 11:18, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ijipaul: Astrology is not a part of earth science, so why are you posting this here? RockMagnetist(talk) 17:53, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
