A tag has been placed on File:Metamorphism in subduction zones.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

Feedback

[edit]

You should be aware that there is already a Wikipedia page about your basin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian_Basin_(North_America) You should look at this and see what is there already before deciding how you're going to improve it. I also understood that you were going to divide the basin with another student so perhaps this is not an appropriate heading for you? In any case you should go to the talk page of the Permian basin page and add a comment describing what you're planning to do with regard to improving the page and why you think that is necessary so that other people looking at the page know what you're about to do.

Basin Wiki Review by Jeff Bomer

[edit]

Hey Elly,

First off, this is a good start and it seems that you already have a nice organization scheme with four main topics and several sub-topics therein. Here are my recommendations:

Formatting: You may know this stuff already, but I figure I'd mention it just in case. Create hyperlinks to relevant wikipedia articles whenever possible. This is done by placing two brackets before and after the word of interest in the edit page (example: geothermal gradient). Make sure to cite sources. This is pretty easy - after a sentence click on "cite" then choose a template (e.g. cite journal) and fill in the appropriate dialog boxes. At the end, just make a "references" subheading and put two curly brackets before and after the word "reflist" and the program will automatically list all your references in order.

Introduction: You may want to add a brief introduction to give an overview of the basin's present-day setting and significance. Then again, I looked at the existing Permian Basin page and there is already a decent intro, so I'm guessing you will be filling in the gaps for other sections?

Components of the Permian Basin: I think a figure illustrating where each of these components are located within the Permian basin would be very helpful from a big-picture geographical standpoint. I'd also add formation names and lithologies to the three channel locations. There is a missed period at the end of the first sentence, but other than that is typo-free. I probably wouldn't abbreviate Central Basin Platform as CBP.

Depositional History: Try to avoid colloquialisms like "the planet" instead of "Earth". Capitalize "the" at the beginning of the second sentence in Upper Mississippian-Lower Permian section. Is there any Mesozoic/Cenozoic deposition in the Permian basin? If not, perhaps explain why.

Generalized Facies Tracts: This information is relevant, but particularly not useful without some sense of when and where these events occurred. Are the LST/TST/HST's affecting the whole basin or only certain parts of the basin? You might be able to interweave this part with the depositional history.

Tectonic History: Gondwanaland should be one word. Be more specific on when tectonic events occur if that information is known. A figure illustrating these three tectonic stages would help others visualize this information. Kind of an aside, but it's pretty cool that the orogenic event that broke the Permian basin into two sub-basins was the same one that emplaced granitic rocks adjacent to my basin (near Italy!!).

Possible additions: If there's one thing I know about the Permian basin, it's that there's a fair bit of oil/gas out there. I didn't see a dedicated section on petroleum resources in the existing page, so this is something that I'd definitely consider adding.

Hope this helped! Jeff — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebomer1 (talkcontribs) 17:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Midland Basin.gif

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Midland Basin.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:04, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

A tag has been placed on File:Capitan Reef Complex.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
