Lava

Sharon, I know your new article on lava delta has only been created within the past half an hour, but please cite your references when you enter information into this wiki. It saves time rather than looking for the cite later and it waves away plagiarism allegations. Niandra ^talk 08:34, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Since it is a US government site, all the material on USGS is public domain, so it is unnecessary to cite USGS as the source, but, at your request, I will cite my sources in the future. ~ Sharon^Talk 16:39, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

For a potential student reading this site, how does he/she know that the material is from a U.S. Government site? They need to be able to challenge the reliability of the data. By entering a simple reference list, this eliminates any such doubt. Niandra ^talk 22:58, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Volcanoes

Hey I went to Hawaii about a month ago, I upload some pictures I took of the volcanoes there.--Will N. 10:55, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Wow! Your trip sounds like great fun. Any pictures you have would be great. ~ Sharon^Talk 16:39, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Cool I gotta get them on my comp first! Hehe then I will share. I promise.--Will N. 14:06, 24 June 2007 (EDT)

Harvestman

I see that you blocked Harvestman for being a subtle vandal. I agree that that particular edit was improper, but given the other copyedits that he's done, I think a warning should have been sufficient, and I recommend that you unblock him (unless there's more evidence than just that). (Although having said that, I'm about to give him a warning on a separate matter.) Philip J. Rayment 08:07, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

Harvestman replaced the word "Bible" with "The so called Holy Bible" in quite a few pages. His other edits were simply small improvements in an effort to hide his vandalism. This also made him much harder to clean up after, as every single edit of his had to be checked. I feel that a block was justified in this case, as he vandalized a large number of pages. You may undo his block if you really feel that it was unjust, but you will be responsible to watch him closely for any further problems. Thanks, ~ Sharon^Talk 08:22, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

Okay, I didn't realise that it was more than once. It was, however, with a bot (an unauthorised one, but that's a separate issue), but one that he controlled, so that's no excuse. I've left a message on his talk page for him to contact me, and I will unblock him after he has done so (if he does at all), and subject to the outcome of that contact. Philip J.
