Orphaned references in Shale gas in the United States
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Shale gas in the United States's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceA": From Norway:  From Williston Basin: Peterson, J., Williston Basin Province, in U. S. Geological Survey 1995 National Assessment of United States Oil and Gas Resources, Digital Data Series DDS-30, Release 2, CD-ROM 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:22, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Jargon
Parts of this article contain jargon (e.g., gas "play") that should probably be either explained in advance or reworded. Zach99998 (talk) 12:24, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Controversy
It seems odd to me that there is not one word in this article about problems with shale gas production through horizontal drilling and fracking. This is particularly strange as there is quite a discussion in the USA about this topic, e.g. at. I could write about the topic, but only if there is not a moron out there working at suppressing all dissent concerning "hydraulic fracturing. Let me know whether you are willing to discuss the topic in the article or, possibly, whether there is already a place where it is or should better be discussed.

Merge proposal
I had renamed Shale gas extraction in the United States from the title "Great Shale Gas Rush" since that was a non-notable but influential title used on a National Geographic report. I then discovered the Shale gas in the United States page. Now I am more of a seperatist than ainclusionist but I think these pages are a good match at this stage. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 01:17, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Discovers of Marcellus Shale
Pearl Gertrude Sheldon, a structural geology student who earned her Ph.D. from cornell in 1911 spent several years afoot in the region around the Taughannock State Park. In her 27 page work published in 1912 in the Journal of Geology, Some Observations and Experiments on Joint Planes, she saw that the upper devonian shales were uniformly bisected by a grid of vertical planes corresponding to the dips and rises in the sine wave-the tectonic-induced stress field- that later geologists noted. She called them symmetrical joint sets.

From the book Under The Surface: fracking, fortunes, and the Fate of the Marcellus Shale by Tom Wilbur. c 2012 by Cornell University ISBN 978-0-8014-5016-7.

May I suggest a page for Pearl Gertrude Sheldon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katesisco (talk • contribs) 12:24, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
