Talk:Outline of mining

Nice start
I see you've used the standard format for Lists of basic topics. Cool. Keep up the good work.

Note that over 200 more are under construction at WikiProject Lists of basic topics, but there are only a few of us working on these.

The "History of" section needs links!
Please add some relevant links to the history section.

Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

suggested external link for outline of mining
I have created a searchable database on the representations of mining in art, literature, cinema etc...in Europe from Antiquity to the present day. It contains over 2000 references and is currently being enlarged and updated. It has been accepted by the French Wikipedia and can be found in Mine (gisement) at the top of 'external links' under 'représentations de la mine dans la culture européenne'. The address of the site is www.galerie-de-mine.eu I would be happy to see it included in 'outline of mining' in the same way. Thank you for checking it out. --Ymbouveret (talk) 16:21, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:08, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
