Hello Abenne1
Welcome to Wikipedia. I am an online ambassador for your class. This means that I will assist you with the world of Wikipedia by digital means. You can contact me on my talk page, or email me via Special:EmailUser/Graeme Bartlett. I am keen on geology but I have not studied it at the tertiary level. So this means you will know more than me on your topic, but I am looking forward to reading what you create. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:45, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
Abenne1, you are invited to the Teahouse

Hi Austin, I have started looking at your draft at User:Abenne1/sandbox. For a see also section it is no use putting in an article with red link, as there is nothing to see. However it is fine to have a red link in the text of your article as someone may write about the topic later. Actually the see also section is not needed as the pages are linked in the article already. For File:Grouse Creek Block Location.jpg I would like to see a kilometer scale on it, rather than only miles. And you could name the relevant states too. Although you talk a bit about the age, it would be good to see it numerically in Ga. We know where it ended up but is there anything known about where it came from? It would also be good to have a more expanded geological map of what the block contains, or perhaps a cross section. And my last question for this paragraph is whether "Block" has a capital B or lower case, as in the adjacent craton? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:25, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for these comments. I admit the current version of the figure was a bit rushed and I will include everything you suggested in the new figure, and then some. "Block" may in fact have a lower case b, I think that is correct. As for where it originated from, I didn't see that information in any of the papers I got my hands on, and I was really surprised by just how little information there is on this terrane. I will keep looking, but I may have to go from the angle of "in general, terranes accreted to the western margin of the Wyoming craton are comprised of island arcs etc etc" or something along those lines, ie give a more general picture perhaps citing information on nearby blocks that have been studied in more detail if I can't find the information on the Grouse Creek block specifically.
DYK for Grouse Creek block
[edit]On 8 December 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Grouse Creek block, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 2.5 billion year old Grouse Creek block forms part of the basement of North America? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Grouse Creek block. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
