User talk:Russell corbyn

Welcome!

Hello, Russell corbyn, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like The Weasel Kickers, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of The Weasel Kickers

A tag has been placed on The Weasel Kickers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:28, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

December 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Wrekin has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.geopics.webs.com.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:47, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Terranes

Hi Russell - good to see our various terranes getting better coverage. Good work. cheers Geopersona (talk) 19:24, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just avoid the temptation to put multiple links to other articles - only one link is really needed in an article to, say, Longmyndian Supergroup - you need repeat it only if the article is especially long or perhaps if it occurs in an infobox - it makes for easier readability. Also worth avoiding 'self-linking' ie to Uriconian within the Uriconian article. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Wikilinks for guidance. :-) cheers Geopersona (talk) 06:07, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GeoPersona - well, I think everyone does a good job on here and I am new to all of this so thank you very much for your points and comments, duly noted. I will hopefully be cracking on with the remainder of the Cymru Terrane and then I can crack on with the Charnwood, Fenland, Monian etc. Nice one, cheers. Russell.

Regarding your recent article creations

Hi Russell corbyn! I looked over some of your recent contributions and would have a couple of (hopefully) helpful suggestions:

Seeing that you edit and create a lot of geology articles I would like to invite you to join Wikiproject Geology. It is a community of people that like to edit geology-related articles. If you like you can add your name to the participants list and put the user box on your user page.

Some of your articles (e.g. Stretton Group) have very long lead sections that don't mention where the stratigraphic unit can be found. You could move some of the lead section into main sections. It might be helpful to look at some other stratigraphic unit articles that have received good assessment ratings (e.g. Fernie Formation, Kope Formation, Lance Formation, Mangrullo Formation, Peace River Formation)

If you know the geographic coordinates of the type-section or the geographic extent of a stratigraphc unit it would be helpful to add it to the article.

Best wishes from a fellow geologist! --Tobias1984 (talk) 21:25, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To add 57°18′22″N 4°27′32″W / 57.30611°N 4.45889°W / 57.30611; -4.45889 to the top of an article, use {{Coord}}, thus:

{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=title}}

These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc.

"title" means that the coordinates will be displayed next to the article's title at the top of the page (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view) and before any other text or images. It also records the coordinates as the primary location of the page's subject in Wikipedia's geosearch API.

To add 44°06′45″N 87°54′47″W / 44.1124°N 87.9130°W / 44.1124; -87.9130 to the top of an article, use either

{{Coord|44.1124|N|87.9130|W|display=title}}

(which does not require minutes or seconds but does require the user to specify north/ south and east/west) or

{{Coord|44.1124|-87.9130|display=title}}

(in which the north and east are presumed by positive values while the south and west are negative ones). These coordinates are in decimal degrees.

Degrees, minutes and seconds, when used, must each be separated by a pipe ("|").
Map datum must be WGS84 if possible (except for off-Earth bodies).
Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1″ is <31 m).
Maintain consistency of decimal places or minutes/seconds between latitude and longitude.
Latitude (N/S) must appear before longitude (E/W).

Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by an underscore ("_"):

dim: dim:N (viewing diameter in metres)
region: region:R (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 code)
type: type:T (landmark or city(30,000), for example)

Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("|"):

display
|display=inline (the default) to display in the body of the article only,

|display=title to display at the top of the article only (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view), or

|display=inline,title to display in both places.
name
name=X to label the place on maps (default is PAGENAME)

Thus: {{Coord|44.1172|-87.9135|dim:30_region:US-WI_type:event

|display=inline,title|name=accident site}}

Use |display=title (or |display=inline,title) once per article, for the subject of the article, where appropriate.

Per WP:ORDER, the template is placed at the bottom of the article in the 'end matter', after any navigation templates, but before all categories, including the {{DEFAULTSORT}} template. The {{coord}} template may also be placed within an infobox, instead of at the bottom of the article.
For full details, refer to {{Coord/doc}}.
Additional guidance is available at obtaining coordinates and converting coordinates.
