Alpheidae sources
Hi Ceranthor,
Do you have any more details about the sources used in your recent additions to Alpheidae (these edits)? I can make some educated guesses (although I don't know which volume in one case), but I'd rather be sure. --Stemonitis (talk) 17:06, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry! They are taken from book sources; I'll add them in there asap. Sorry for the inconvenience. ceranthor 17:41, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
The article has been reviewed and is on hold pending revision. See the talk page for the review. WTF? (talk) 17:46, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
Kilauea
We talked about this sometime before, but I absolutely cannot do Kilauea without some support. I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks and for now I'm busy on Hualālai, but it's a looming threat and we got to talk about how we're going to handle it. (btw my laptop finally got fixed, which is good news for Wikipedia) ResMar 03:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- Okay. I thought you were inactive. I think we can try to get it to GA by the end of summer. Other projects include getting an FT - which involves featuring Armero tragedy and Omayra Sanchez - and getting Mount Pinatubo and Plate tectonics to GA/FA. That's quite a lot to do! ceranthor 17:22, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I see you signed up for the last dramaout. Consider notifying 3 good editors of this to encourage more participation. Perhaps saying
I am participating in this. Please consider doing the same! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Great_Wikipedia_Dramaout/3rd#Participating_Wikipedians Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 16:40, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Barnstar for you!

Ceranthor: you deserve a barnstar for your hard work, kind words, and for getting me excited about helping you on articles that I knew next to nothing about! You're the greatest, so keep doing it all with a smile. Awickert (talk) 00:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC) |
K. cont.
Sort of still am, as evidented by the long draw between that comment and this one. Anyway, I had a few apointments and such to wrap up, and happiily, regents are finally over. Howeve I'm leaving for vacation soon, but my internet connectivity there is as my dad says "tenatively good." I think I'll start off by setting up a TOC in a sandbox somewhere. Possibly tommorow :D ResMar 03:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I made a few copyedits to this, but see some more areas that can be cleaned up if you don't mind having someone jump in. I see a few problems that are fairly easily fixed and don't mind posting a little review on the talk page if that would be helpful. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:37, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- That would be awesome! Thanks a ton! ceranthor 00:39, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with the terminology to use with earthquakes, so check my edits and revert anything that's wrong. Won't get much more done tonight, but will work on it tomorrow.Truthkeeper88 (talk) 01:05, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
WikiCup 2010 June newsletter
We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) Casliber (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.
If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

Ramapo Fault Regional Geology
Hey. Noticed you're in the process of expanding the regional geology section of the Ramapo Fault. I was thinking of the doing the same a while ago, but I kind of put it on the back burner.
I see you've included a bit of detail on the Valley and Ridge Province, but this generally has little to do with the fault. The Ramapo Fault separates the Reading Prong (including the NY-NJ Highlands) from the Newark Basin. The Valley and Ridge Province is beyond the Reading Prong to the northwest and is separated by an unrelated fault. I think the message to send via the regional geology section is that the existence of the Highlands and the Newark Basin is owed to the fault, in the sense that the Ramapo Fault is the main bounding fault in what is essentially a half graben formed during the rifting of Pangaea. One side of the fault, the Newark Basin (east), was thrust down into the Earth, which in turn caused the Highlands (west) to rise up. A map showing the location of the fault in NJ with respect to regional geology can be found here. The aforementioned website, run by Roy W. Schlische at Rutgers University, is particularly informative on both the Newark Basin and Ramapo Fault (the 'normal fault' or 'border fault' described in the site's introduction). Here is the main page of his site.
There is a lot of other information scattered across the web, beyond just the geology, and I really want to bring it together to drive this particular article to true encyclopedic depth.
I eventually hope to create articles or sections for the Hopewell, Flemington, and Chalfont faults, which are the largest secondary faults of the Ramapo Fault System. Any help you could provide here would be awesome.
Lithium6ion (talk) 02:59, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, I was aware of that situation, I was just adding the information to give the article a little more interesting stuff... but you're probably right. Thanks for the paper, I'm looking forward to formally starting on the article.
Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes
Hi Ceranthor.This article have been kept.And now nominated again Articles for deletion.Some users demonstrate preconceived opinion.If you have time, could you take a look at the Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes.I'd appreciate a second opinion.Thanks.--Earth Defender (talk) 11:10, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
- I have placed a vote; you may want to read over our canvassing rules.
- I hope you didn't mind me adding that note, not intended to influence you, just to make others aware. Mikenorton (talk) 20:22, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Is it ready?
Kinda tenacious about this one. Lot of sources that woulda really helped aren't there to be found. Wanted a second opinion. What do you think of Hualālai? ResMar 22:25, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
- I think you're referring to FAC, but for now I think you should nominate it at GAN. Just from browsing the article it looks like it could be expanded some more in order to be fully comprehensive. I'm working on Armero tragedy diligently at the moment but tomorrow I'll try to give it a good look over. So don't discount FAC yet. ceranthor 01:51, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- FAC, lol. Not planning to go through that gaunlet for a long time. If ever. I meant GA, and yeah I know it's pretty bare but man the refs are scarse. Kinda comical, I google the reserves on it and there are plenty of references TO them but none ABOUT them. Ended up pulling them from a 1929 agricultural magazine. Guess that's what you get when you're stuck in the middle, hurr hurr. ResMar 02:09, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- I think List of volcanoes in the Hawaiian – Emperor seamount chain is ready for FLC, though. ResMar 23:00, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Done. ResMar 23:14, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, and Cirt says "go for it" on Portal:Volcanoes for featured portal. I remember a certain sommeone's nomination a bit of a while ago :) ResMar 14:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

I guess you're right
I'm finally getting the hand of consistant article writing. Seamount looks just about ready for GAN, after about a week of work. Yay! ResMar 14:31, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- It does indeed! Consistency is the key to wikipedia editing - sometimes you have to will yourself to do things, but it is definitely worth it! ceranthor 17:10, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- So, you want to do Kilauea now? I'm finally out of things to do. ResMar 23:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- I'd really like to finish up Armero tragedy. There's just a few more sources I need to add then it needs a good polishing and a look-over. I'm sure I could ask others to do that while we start Kilauea, though. I'll do a little research tomorrow, as obviously I have a limited knowledge of the volcano (compared to you). ;) ceranthor 01:16, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- So, you want to do Kilauea now? I'm finally out of things to do. ResMar 23:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Hmmm, well, beyond the latent stuff I read about the volcano while researching Hualalai/Loihi/Hawaii hotspot/Kohala, wait, scratch that maybe I do :D. Ok, I'll have a few thingss I can work on until then. Perhaps I should ce your article to get it going faster... ResMar 13:05, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- Also, I want to see if I can't round up a group of editors for the article. The more people the faster it will go. ResMar 13:06, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

- I'll try to read through that whole thread tomorrow. It looks lengthy. ceranthor 02:49, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Bothering you again
This time I want to ask if you think that Types of volcanic eruptions is on the right track. Other then that, "hello" :) ResMar 02:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Looks a lot better than before, obviously. Maybe you could cut down on the images for now. You don't know how long the article will turn out to be.
But man, you're on a roll! ;) ceranthor 02:47, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Two images per section is perfect I think, one is of the overall eruptive diagram and one is a photo. I'm thinking of making a template like {{Hawaiian volcanism}} to link togethor the different types of volcanic eruptions. ResMar 14:48, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah I will. Writing the article I'm learning quite a few volcanic nitpicks I didn't know before. ResMar 17:03, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Template done. ResMar 17:36, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Project notice: Since article alert bot is down, we're recording all Featured and Good noms/reviews/passes and fails here by hand. Considering you're the third contributor chunk I thought I'd notify you to update your status off of it. Cheers, ResMar 04:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
