You are very welcome - another thing to check is to look at the sources you used and see if they list any sources (books or journal articles). You could also contact the professors who made the web pages and the person who wrote the blog and see if they can suggest any other sources. Good luck!

Hi, the Statemaster article about supercontinents is a copy of the Wikipedia article - most of their articles are copies of ours. Scroll down to the bottom of the Statemaster page to see the licence information. DuncanHill (talk) 23:43, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article History of the Rove Formation you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:History of the Rove Formation for things which need to be addressed.

Thanks for ther note on my talk page and glad my comments were helpful. I moved your comments back to Wikipedia:Peer review/Laterite/archive1 - that way anyone clicking on the PR can see what your responses were. I replied to a few points already and will look at the article again and make more comments, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried to fix this up for you, but there is a disjoint in the history because of the way you copied the page to user space. If you do this again would be better to copy the source of the page rather than the displayed page and that would not give the disjoint in the history changes.

Formal names of stratigraphic units are always capitalized. So it should be the Rove Formation, Animikie Group, etc. See Category:Geologic formations - although I see some there aren't, more to fix. Vsmith (talk) 03:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again, I was reading Algoman orogeny and noted the Greenland connection at the end. When I tried to view the source - book by Yadav, P. R., I get a problem. Neither Amazon nor Barnes and Noble list the book by given ISBN. The Google books page attributes it to Discovery Publishing House, but they publish religious books. Do you have the book? ...to verify isbn etc. Searching the author on amazon gives mainly biology publications from India. ...
OK - just searched google books again and got the title page which gives the stated isbn and pub. by Discovery Publishing House of New Delhi. Seems google books confuses the pub and amazon doesn't recognize or list the isbn. Sorry 'bout my rambling as I think here - need to clarify the ref link info it seems, will attempt that now.

Article has improved a great deal since you last saw it, and it is now a FARC. Could you take another look and comment or make a declaration? Thanks. :) --mav (reviews needed) 16:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial currently scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 14:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you are also user Bettymnz4 on Wikimedia Commons. I just wanted to let you know that I posted a message on your Commons user page about this image. I'd appreciate it if you could respond. Thanks for your help. --GeoWriter (talk) 12:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi and glad to hear from you again on talk:laterite. Just wanted to thank you again for your good work on various articles (including laterite). Also wanted to clarify that my comments about Randy in Boise editors in my response to Schellat on my talk was not referring to your work -- just in case you had read that. Hope to see more from you soon. Cheers, Vsmith (talk) 14:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your encouraging words. I haven't read your comments to Randy yet. I also appreciate your defense of my work. I'm aware I shouldn't rely almost solely on Google Scholar; our regional library consortium doesn't have a large selection of scholarly geology books. I have gone to two college libraries and they didn't either. Bettymnz4 (talk) 14:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Widow's peak.
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref>
and one or more <ref name="foo"/>
referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
but left the <ref name="foo"/>
, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/>
with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

The Algoman orogeny article is being considered at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geology#Algoman orogeny, a Good Article prospect for nomination for Good article status. The article is outside of the knowledge base of both myself and Nwhit, so we'd thought we'd ask you how you felt about it, since you did the work. --Bejnar (talk) 10:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds wonderful!!! (Sorry for not indenting; it's been so long since I've working on Wikipedia that I don't remember the method.)

First Dearie, I'm not a vandal. To call me such is to violate WP:Good Faith. Now, I've suggested Doc Savage. He is an Iconic Pulp Fiction era Hero who is best known for a Widow's Peak. I've linked him to his article, second line in Overview. I shall admit to not bothering to read that citation#13, as the title alone did not seem to justify it's placement. I've since corrected that oversight, and have provided another.
BTW, that you have been so resistant to this edit tells me how little you know about both Doc Savage and famed individuals with widow's peaks. Goodle Image Search will pull up 95% images with a widow's peak.
Might I suggest you also set your sights on removing the citations with TV Tropes, as that is an Unreliable Source. See: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_80#tvtropes.org— Love Robin (talk) 21:13, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A review of my contributions would show I do not display the characteristics of a vandal. A review of the character's WP article would have shown the edit as righteous. I primarily hang out on Kim Possible related pages, and when someone comes along with an edit, I check and double-check and perform due diligence. It takes more than a couple reverts before I'll cry "vandal". However, I've dealt with my fair share of vandals, so I can relate where you're coming from. – Love Robin (talk) 15:00, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Storm of The Edition – February 13–17, 2021 North American winter storm (Winter Storm Uri)
The February 13–17, 2021 North American winter storm, also referred to as Winter Storm Uri, was a strong and destructive winter storm that affected areas from the West Coast of the United States, through the Deep South and Northern Mexico, to the Northeast and Eastern Canada. The second of three major winter storms to affect the continent within the month, the system originated as a powerful low-pressure area in the Pacific and came ashore as a frontal system on February 13. The system then dived southward along a trough in the polar jet stream, while also strengthening, and began producing snowfall in the Deep South. The storm system then began expanding in terms of size, and the main low spawned a secondary low in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Florida on February 15. As the storm grew more organized, it spawned another low pressure center to the north on February 16, which quickly became the main low-pressure center. When the system exited the continent early on February 17, almost 75% of the continental U.S. was covered in snow, which almost broke a record. The newest low moved up the coast of Nova Scotia, beginning to strengthen faster along the way. It then began to quickly intensify, while approaching landfall on Newfoundland, reaching a central pressure of 985 millibars (29.1 inHg) by 12:00 UTC on that day. The system then began meandering across the Atlantic, while proceeding to strengthen further, reaching a peak intensity of 960 millibars (28 inHg) on February 19. Afterward, the storm then began weakening rapidly, dissipating southwest of Greenland on February 24.
The storm system resulted in over 170 million Americans being placed under winter weather alerts, reaching as far south as Galveston, Texas. The swath of snow and ice it produced stretched from Washington to Maine. It ranked as a Category 3 winter storm on the Regional Snowfall Index (RSI) scale, and it became the second of three Category 3+ winter storms to affect North America in February 2021. The system caused over 9.9 million power outages, with 5.2 million in the U.S. and 4.7 million in Mexico, making it the worst blackout event recorded in North America since the Northeast blackout of 2003. The hardest hit area by both the severe winter weather and long-term power outages was Texas, with the 2021 Texas power crisis taking place due to the storm. Some long-term power outages in areas of the Deep South lasted over one week long. It also brought destructive severe weather to parts of the Southeastern U.S., spawning five tornadoes, including an EF2 and a high-end EF3 tornado. In total, the storm resulted in at least 136 fatalities, with 124 in the U.S. and 12 in Mexico, making it the deadliest winter storm in decades. Damage from this system is estimated to cost at least $195 billion (2021 USD), making it the costliest winter storm on record, as well as one of the costliest natural disasters in the modern era.

Current assessment table
Assessments are valid as of this printing. Depending on when you may be viewing this newsletter, the table may be outdated. See here for the latest, most up to date statistics.
As of this issue, there are 8 featured articles and 1 featured list. There are 21 good articles, but only 1 A-class article, perhaps because most articles of that quality already passed an FA review. There are 53 B-class articles, 110 C-class articles, 172 start-class articles, and 52 stub-class articles, with 14 lists. These figures mean that roughly one-fifth of the project is rated B-class or better. Tropical Storm Rolf was the 20th GA in the project.

Why I revived this WikiProject, by MarioJump83
Since this is the first issue of The Frozen Times since the revival of WPNTS, I thought we should have an opinion piece detailing the reasons based on which the revival took place. And the project member who would know these reasons the best would be none other than the main resurrector of the WikiProject, MarioJump83! HurricaneCovid (contribs)
Hello, WikiProject Non-tropical storms! I am the one who first took the initiative of this WikiProject's revival. While most of my work here is mostly related to maintenance work and some coordinating before resigning after the revival of this newsletter (I would like to say that LightandDark2000 is the coordinator of the project now given he is the only active member to join before 2020), there are reasons why I took the initiative to revive the project.
Firstly, WPTC members, for some reason that was unclear to me, began joining the project in droves beginning in late 2020 and continuing into 2021. This surprised me since normally, people don't join defunct WikiProjects in large numbers. Secondly, many WPTC members, many of them based in either the United States or Europe, continue to edit extratropical cyclone articles, even when climatological winter ends in the Northern Hemisphere. This suggests that there is a space for WPNTS to spring up once again. Third and lastly, WPNTS-covered articles are quite active for a defunct WikiProject. I honestly think that this WikiProject shouldn't have been considered defunct in the first place.
Ultimately, these reasons drove me to revive the WikiProject on the heels of Wikipedia's 20th anniversary on January 15, 2021. It's short, but it's what I can say for the reasons why I came to the decision to revive this WikiProject. I hope this WikiProject lasts for a long time, even when I'm not present as part of it. MarioJump83!
