[edit] WikiProject Volcanoes
Hi, I've created this new WikiProject to fill a need that I've noticed over the past couple of months, while editing numerous volcano and mountain articles on Wikipedia. I noticed many articles for mountains which are volcanoes that are missing any info about their volcanic origin, not to mention missing the proper infobox tags and article categories. The initial goals of this WikiProject include viewing, categorizing, and hopefully improving every single article about individual volcanoes and volcanic mountains on Wikipedia. Longer term goals are to expand the coverage and inclusion of volcanoes around the world, along with improving and expanding the articles about related topics in volcanology.
I welcome and encourage any interested editors to join this project and help make Wikipedia's volcano and volcanology articles into a uniformly reliable and comprehensive source of information.
Thanks. --Seattle Skier (talk) 08:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Is there a process to add myself to the project, or do I just need to edit the project page and insert myself into the list? --Burntnickel 13:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- You just add yourself to the list... or at least I did and nobody shouted at me! When you click the edit tab for the section with the member table in, you should find details for the template to use to put yourself in. Welcome to the project! Eve 15:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. --MONGO 04:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Volcanic margins - possible copyright problems
I've found some possible copyright problems in the volcanic margins article, but I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and not quite sure how much of a problem it is, and what to do about it. If any of you have time to take a look, some help would be really useful. Cheers, Eve 21:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] VNUM - a new extenal link template to generate links to the Smithsonian db
Hi all,
I have created an external link template for the VNUM (Volcano Number), which generates the correct link to the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program summary page for that particular volcano number. See also the documentation it comes with (explanation of use), and the corresponding article Volcano Number. The template is to be found here: Template:VNUM.
If you are not too familiar with external link templates: it works similar like Wikipedia's Template:ISSN, it puts the correct link URL together from the volcano number that you as the editor provide, and information already stored in the template code. There is a small precaution to be taken vor VNUM's ending on an equal sign ("="), but that is explained on the template documentation page and is really very easy (I am not a programmer).
An example and instructions are on the VNUM template page, for instance VNUM 0101-05=.
- I think this should be added to the infobox as well. I put a first sample VNUM link on the Vulcano article near the top.
