Thanks

For looking at the Post-classical History article. You appear to be an expert on Pre-Colombian South American history. I think this is neglected within the context of the World History field.

Cottonwood Limestone infobox suggestions

Thanks you for the suggestions on my first use of the Infobox rockunit template (3.5 years ago). I have a couple questions:

1. Clarification of "siliceous to quartz nodules or infills of burrows"

"Fusulinids are common, especially in the upper part, and siliceous nodules project from weathered surfaces. In this area the Cottonwood is not a flinty limestone but nodules of partly silicified material that weathered more slowly than the rest of the rock give it the flinty appearance."
This is a particular and identifying characteristic of the Cottonwood (observation of these particular trace fossils gives definite identification of Cottonwood ). I was trying to express the range of silicification seen in the burrows, from just more resistant limey projections, to blue-grey cryptocrystalline flint, to crystal quartz geodes. Much of the flint in the higher units of the Flint Hills are also burrow infills, but completely different architecturally. It is only that it is possible to misidentify a Cottonwood sample as, say Threemile Limestone if one is looking at the blue flint infill. Honestly, the risk is so unimportant that I should just change the text to "siliceous burrow infills"?

2. How should I handle the Coord-missing tag? Just pick a point in the center of the outcrop? I keep thinking a range should be stated. My real problem is with the Western Interior Seaway coordinates when some beds range from the Great Lakes, Arctic, and Utah. I would rather not state the coordinates at all.

3. I used to try to use |author1= |author2= |author3=, etc, until someone changed my usage to |authors=. Reading Template:Citation/doc now, I see that the enumeration is probably preferred, am I right?

Fencepost limestone

(For some reason, a lot of these helpful edits by others aren't showing up in my Watchlist.)

  1. So, now I see that you changed "| period = Late Cretaceous" to "| period = Turonian" Isn't Turonian an age, not a period?
  2. "Post Rock Limestone" is not a formal formation name, it's not even a formation name, it is cultural name (only for the rock out of the ground), but often capitalized often not, same with "Stone Post". I am wondering if both should be all lower case, but you so often see both in Title Case as a cultural terms, but usually in promotional literature. What do you think?

List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Cameroon

When you added the map to this article, you included the Igumale Formation, but the coordinate given is not in Cameroon and does not display on the map, thus causing the article to be in Category:Location maps with marks outside map and outside parameter not set.

I don't know where you got this coordinate. It is in Nigeria. Either the coordinate is incorrect or this formation does not belong on this list. MB 04:47, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Wetterstein Limestone

Hi Tisquesusa, I'm sorry but I've reverted your edits here as the merge discussion hasn't been concluded. Bermicourt (talk) 09:07, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

I have gone to great lengths to improve, expand and reference the article and show the different names used in the different countries. There hasn't been any activity since August, what "not concluded"? They are not two separate formations; Wetterstein Limestone is a name locally used for the broader Wetterstein Formation that includes other lithologies too. Tisquesusa (talk) 15:47, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
If I may suggest ... I am not sufficiently qualified in the Tethys to decide if Tisquesusa Wetterstein Formation sufficiently addresses the merge, but it might ... and if it does, there needs to be at least some corresponding modification to Wetterstein limestone, whether a redirect or not. The discussion needs to be updated to propose the updated Wetterstein Formation as a solution. If it was premature to replace Wetterstein limestone with a redirect because the discussion was not closed, it was equally premature to remove the merge tag for the very same reason. Something still should be done. At the very least, besides retagging, Wetterstein limestone now needs to be updated to indicate that the article is about a classification that is regional in the broader extent of the Wetterstein unit. If Tisquesusa's Wetterstein Formation covers the subject, then retention of Wetterstein limestone in some form needs to be justified in the merge discussion. Maybe the Wetterstein limestone classification is notable enough that it justifies a distinct article, but I think that status needs an explicit defense, now. IveGoneAway (talk) 13:32, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Tone? While I wholeheartedly support the general concept of merging of the countless, unnecessarily redundant rock unit articles where they can be seen to be so, maybe it would help if you moderated your recent comment to the Wetterstein Limestone merge discussion?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bajo Barreal Formation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chelonia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in the article Alajuela Formation you included material from a webpage that is available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself.

If you need to change the taxonomy listed for a page like Canaanimico with an automatd taxobox, you update it at {{Taxonomy/Canaanimico}}. Then the change propagates to all relevant taxoboxes.

You are screwing up my hard work and demand from me that I clear up your shit? Are you serious? Go do something useful. Tisquesusa (talk) 05:18, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Wow, okay. The swearing really makes you case stronger. Automated taxoboxes are the consensus. Please don't go against that, especially when the fix is simple. If you have a better taxonomy, use it. Don't start an edit war because you don't like consensus. --Nessie (talk) 23:18, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
The solution is simple; get your hands off my work and do something useful. Automated taxoboxes are optional and should be avoided when they cause problems, as is the case here. YOU only have the right to use them as long as YOU change the code of the box such that the information is preserved. YOU want an automated taxobox, so YOU do the work. Now go and do something useful and don't bother me with crap. Tisquesusa (talk) 23:25, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
You need to work on you anger. You don't own the article. The automated taxobox does not cause problems. You can only have one parent in the taxobox, as per consensus. Cramming to taxonomies is not good for manual nor automated taxoboxes. Pick one, add |classification_status=disputed and discuss the other in the text. --Nessie (talk) 23:40, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Scientific names

"The second part of a binomial species name is never capitalized, even when derived from a proper name" This is not only WP convention. Autism is not material to the usage. IveGoneAway (talk) 23:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

@IveGoneAway: I know that is the case, and that is not the point. The article] said "The specific name honours Guido Bonarelli who advised Tapia in his study of the find. By present conventions the epithet is spelled bonarellii, thus without a capital B.". So that sentence only makes sense if the <wrong> naming with capital is included in the article. Tisquesusa (talk) 00:15, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
First, I am on a business trip and can only participate in this in non-business/non-business social time. Ok, it is is appropriate in the context on that section to use the historic capitalization and spelling (an embedded comment would help future editors) A quotation in the citation of the relevant section of the source is also appropriate. The following sentences should also be tagged for citation. If the Huene source supports the statements the that content can be quoted in that citation.IveGoneAway (talk) 14:06, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
@IveGoneAway: I agree it should be referenced, as I extensively do in all my written articles, but I was reading the article and it didn't make sense, then looked into the history and some IP (who clearly didn't read the full short text) removed information which explained that point about the name. So I placed that information back, so the text would make sense again. Tisquesusa (talk) 14:14, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • United States L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
  • Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
  • Denmark MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
  • United States Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
  • Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
  • Ohio Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

WikiCup 2019 May newsletter

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber (1210), our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three DYKs. He also made good use of the bonus points available, more than doubling his score by choosing appropriate articles to work on.
  • Wales Kosack (750), last year's runner up, with an FA, a GA, two FLs, and five DYKs.
  • Adam Cuerden (480), a WikiCup veteran, with 16 featured pictures, mostly restorations.
  • Kingdom of Prussia Zwerg Nase (461), a seasoned competitor, with a FA, a GA and an ITN item.

Other notable performances were put in by Chicago Barkeep49 with six GAs, United States Ceranthor, England Lee Vilenski, and Saskatchewan Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and Denmark MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.

So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

Speedy deletion nomination of Roca Formation (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Roca Formation (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Misplaced Pages page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates zero extant Misplaced Pages pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Adam9007 (talk) 18:56, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 July newsletter

The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • Norfolk Island Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with 500 points derived mainly from a featured article and two GAs on natural history topics
  • South Carolina Adam Cuerden, with 480 points, a tally built on 16 featured pictures, the result of meticulous restoration work
  • Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, a finalist in the last two years, with 306 points from a variety of submissions, mostly related to sport or the State of Washington
  • United States Usernameunique, with 305 points derived from a featured article and two GAs on archaeology and related topics

Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

WikiCup 2019 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Misplaced Pages, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5.

Improving the Stratigraphic knowledge of Early Cretaceous Spain

Hi, I know you are taking a break from contributing at the moment so when you get back: There are many fossiliferous geological formations from the Lower Cretaceous of Spain, almost all are included in Category:Lower Cretaceous Series of Europe given your obvious extensive expertise in spanish geology given your work on the Tremp Formation I think you can greatly contribute. Obviously there are many different Basins and Sub basins where these formations are located, and it would probably best if an article was created that discussed these different sequences in relation with each other. Hope you are enjoying your break from wikipedia, Kind regards Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:13, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for writing me @Hemiauchenia:. I unfortunately cannot spend the time I wish to articles, but the subject interests me and I have done fieldwork in the Galve Basin more than half a lifetime ago, so it was digging a bit, but I created this template and added it to the various formations. First step would be to improve those; infobox filling, categorization, adding missing fossil content, etc. I did that and a bit more on the Rupelo, Escucha and Camarillas Formations and created a new article for Upper Bedoulian Formation as an example how to quickly and easily do it. The links to Fossilworks (a great start to build onwards from) are on my sandbox 4 page.
Next would be to add environmental information as I did as far as I could for these articles and mainly in South America, and Tremp of course. But there is already so much maintenance to do, I'd start there. There is enough bibliography linked in the template. Cheers, Tisquesusa (talk) 18:24, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
I was wondering what you make of this stratigraphic proposal given that it strongly conflicts with the sequence presented in the template. I think my next target is to improve the article for the El Castelar Fm. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:19, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
Great link. Of course they are the leading authority; I just managed to build some coherence in 2 days, but it is still not finished or correct. That's why it is great to work with templates, so the articles get automatically updated. The Cuenca region I don't know myself, I will expand the Urbión Group a bit more, as I have also done some fieldwork there. Cantabria and Cuenca I know only the basics. With separate articles on the basins you can go way more in depth and get the stratigraphies right and update the template then.
What I also found, mainly in my Argentinian struggles with the geologic reports, is that Weishampel et al. is good for some indication, but they have introduced or amplified the importance of some units that are actually local or obsolete names. Hence the importance of finding other good information, ideally in English and ideally CC licensed. Nice, I will follow El Castellar and won't touch it. Cheers.

I find editing the template unwieldy, so It's probably best if you do it if you can understand it. The Galve Basin sequence has undergone significant revision recently, with the additon of the Galve Formation (which is already in the template) and the underlying Aguilar del Alfambra Formation between the El Castellar Formation and the Villar del Arzobispo Formation, with a hiatus between the Galve and El Castellar Formations spanning most of the Hauterivian and Valanginian. See these papers. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:30, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Yes, I had that paper and planned to add the Aguilar del Alfambra Formation, but in all the hectics of the template I forgot it. This is where I got the Galve Formation from indeed. I agree, the "template" is a nightmare and there should be a good one developed for stratigraphic sections, as this is universally applicable and useful, especially with so much mess lying around (see the Argentinian horrors). Same for the timeline feature, that is ideal for things but restricted now. The evolutionary templates might work for that. In the meantime I added some other old things lying around; Paja Formation and Kupferschiefer especially. They were, as you will agree, far below what they should be.

I have created the Castrillo de la Reina Formation article, although there appears to be little recent literature on it aside from fairly brief locality descriptions from paleontology papers. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:00, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Also yes those you've improved those articles massively, to be honest before I didn't realise the Keuper and Kupferschiefer were different units entirely, shows how poor my geological knowledge of central europe is Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:42, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Heres a review of the stratigraphy in the Cameros Basin Apparently there are several competing stratigraphic proposals in the western part of the basin. Figure 5 in particular is especially helpful. Hemiauchenia (talk) 03:00, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
