Talk:Rove Formation

Subtopic
I obviously don't know what a subtopic is. Thank you to whoever fixes this for me. (Another learning opportunity for me!!)


 * No worries, I have fixed it. I am going to list this as WP:GAN - otherwise you won't get a review. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 19:45, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm finally ready to submit this article that I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. I have two questions: 1. I've tried several times to upload a document to Wikicommons and was unsuccessful. Do I have to create a SEPARATE account to add to Wikicommons? 2. I'd really like to upload the map on page 6 of http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2006/5034/pdf/SIR20065034.pdf I've spent days reading about uploading and need help!!! Is it possible to upload a portion of a website? If so, could someone do this one for me (put it in the Puckwunge section). The descriptive text I'd like is: Bedrock geology of the extreme northeastern tip of Minnesota: prv=Rove Formation; prdb=Pigeon River diabase and kps=Puckwunge Formation. I have other portions of websites I'd like to upload, so I could follow whatever is done here. 3. Are university publications copy writed? Thank you for whatever help you give.Bettymnz4 (talk) 08:24, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Betty. Thanks for the article! You do need an account on commons, but there is an option to make your current account global. See m:m:Help:Unified login. You can't upload a portion of a website, but you can take a screenshot of a portion of the map, save it, and then upload that. As a matter of fact, I'll just do it right now. University publications typically have copyright. You can leave a message on my talk page if you have any more specific questions. Awickert (talk) 06:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't follow your caption text - I was sleepy and forgot that you had specified it by the time I put the image up. Feel free to change, but I included the legend, so I'll add "tip" to my caption and it should be OK. Awickert (talk) 06:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Awickert
Thank you SOOOO much for your help in downloading the image of the tip of NE MN. I plan to study it now, so I can duplicate the process. As I mentioned, I have at least one other image I want to download. (The others are probably university websites.)

Most of the time my computer access is limited to after hours; I'm often too exhausted to absorb new things.

I also appreciate you answering my other questions. I wasn't seeing any information on Wikipedia about the first one, about registering for Commons.

I see by your page that you are a geologist. I've also submitted "Saganagan Orogeny" for peer review, if you are interested.

I'm currently working on the Algoman Orogeny (on my page) and doing extensive rewriting for "Vaalbara"; I had included that information in the Saganagan article, but realized it had VERY little to do with that orogeny. I was surprised when I hyper-linked it to see that an article already existed. That article was pretty much word-for-word the same as mine, but I had footnotes.

Title
I think this article should be moved back to Rove Formation. The current title is needlessly verbose and isn't really accurate, since the article encompasses the present state of the formation. Pburka (talk) 20:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. "The" is not part of the formal name.  If there is no objection in the next couple of weeks, I will move the article.  Pinging, principal author:  Betty, I see you have not been active for some time; let us know if you have an objection to the move.

 * Agree - though I see there is already a page with that name serving as a redirect to this one, so it's not straightforward! Still it needs to be done. Geopersona (talk) 08:14, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I support the proposal to rename this article to "Rove Formation". GeoWriter (talk) 13:28, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I have posted the request to move. Kablammo (talk) 17:16, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Sudbury Impact section unrelated to Rove Formation
The section about the Sudbury Impact needs to be removed. The impact predates the Rove formation by a considerably period of time and unrelated to it. In fact, the Rove Formation overlies "an intensely altered zone in the upper Gunflint and Biwabik formations." This altered zone in the upper Gunflint represents a subareally weathered surface and unconformity created by the forebulge of the initial Penokean Orogeny and period of concurrent nondeposition and weathering. Also, this section is based largely of material press erases and a message board instead of the original peer-reviewed papers. It is a mess that should be removed. Paul H.
