I am interested in contributing information in the natural and physical sciences, primarily earth science, more specifically soil, soil taxonomy, paleosols, glacial geology, geology of Indiana, topographic maps. My first contribution, however, was to the episode summary of the DVD re-release of the first season of "The Muppet Show" (gotta start somewhere). Thanks to my sons for allowing me to show-off.
I don't yet know code, but will probably learn fast.

Info Box template for minerals use this template to create a uniform box to include mineral properties. You need not delete unused properties; any property without a value will not be shown in the article. Copy the text and place at the top of your article. Then fill-in those properties that you learn from your research, making sure to reference your work.Later this week I will post a template that you can use to organize your data.
Example of a mineral article showing how to insert and use the mineral infobox.
Go to the Mineral Stubs list to select a mineral stub for the project.
