Welcome
Welcome!
Hello, Tobias1984, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for World Geodetic System. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
Hi Tobias. Thanks for adding those coordinates, very helpful. I had a look at your tag, it’s right on the mark! Thanks for the recognition! OscarK878 (talk) 14:01, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
A page you started has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Pay-Khoy, Tobias1984!
Misplaced Pages editor Ymblanter just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Hello Tobias. Take care when using picture galleries. This is an en.encyclopedia and it isn't a picture gallery, commons.wikimedia is the picture gallery here. Kurile islands could have two pictures less. Take care when adding books to "#references". As I understand, books in references are actually used in the article. You could place some books in a "#see also" section, though. People revert these kind of things. If nobody opposes, I'll ask de.kartenwerkstatt if it's possible to translate to english File:Sibirien topo2.png. Cheers --Chris.urs-o (talk) 08:32, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the suggestions. I already took care of the books and the picture gallery. I can also help with the translation of the map. --Tobias1984 (talk) 09:29, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Check if the description I gave of the usage of Ptychagnostus atavus in biostratigraphy is correct. While I can fill in the paleontological details without problem, I'm obviously not very familiar with the geological side, heh. I'll use your corrections as a guide to the rest of the stubs I'll be making, so please fix any errors in the description.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL22:57, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
Formatting changes for Template:Cambrian_graphical_timeline
Hi Tobias. I thought you might want to know that I made some changes Template:Cambrian_graphical_timeline. I think it renders okay now, but I have only verified on Firefox. I think it should be the same across browsers, but I don't have access to others.
Specifically, I did the following:
For the vertical text, I added "line-height:10px;display:block;". This allowed the lines to compress so the text doesn't run beyond the boxes
For text that was displaced outside the box, I adjusted the "bar##-nudge-down=
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tremadocian, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Newfoundland and Tremadoc (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Tobias. It seems to be just you and me over at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geology#Collaboration_for_December (not entirely unexpected) and in reality that means just you; I'll do whatever I can but it'll all be meta stuff - I am not a geologist.
Speaking of meta:
The robot job has been volunteered for by a new bot owner; it may take him a while to get it done. Will continue to try to guide it through.
Hey Arb! Thank you for setting up the task force page, I'm sure that it will get people more involved in meteorite topics. I hope progress isn't too slow, but I would blame it on a lot of Wikipedians preparing for holidays and taking snow days. I hope you have time for some snow days too, and we will just try to get the best out this month ;) --Tobias1984 (talk) 14:04, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
No snow here yet; perhaps in the new year. It would make the children happy. I've just added an Infobox to your new Dronino meteorite which reminded me... There are now boxes on all meteorite articles, complete (as far as the information in the article allows) except for the chemistry fields which I didn't feel competent to touch. If you have the urge it would be well worth going through them all and checking / adding chemistry to the box. The easiest way to access them (as you doubtless know) is at Category:Meteorites by name. -Arb. (talk) 14:38, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
My view today. We have had some nice snow the last couple of days (I uploaded a picture). I actually did't know that category yet. I think I can still go through the list today and look at the chemistry. I was wondering if we should add a to-do list to the task force page like at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geology? What do you think? --Tobias1984 (talk) 16:23, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Now there's an uplifting view; lucky fellow. Adding a proper to-do list is a fine idea. There's some content for it here but the presentation you have in mind is preferable; more attention grabbing, brings it to the top where it belongs and can be made visible in other places if required. Go right ahead. -Arb. (talk) 18:16, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for December 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of martian meteorites, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shergotty (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've tweaked daubréelite a bit and when I looked at what links here I found the daubréeite redirect. Seems daubréeite is a bismuth oxide mineral and I've turned your redirect into a new article. I had never heard of it before, but your spelling glitch led me to discover it - rather an interesting species altho' quite unrelated to meteorites. Keep on trucking :) Vsmith (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages editor Kieranian2001 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Reviewed as part of page curation. Interesting
detailed article on geology complete with references and categories.Kieranian2001 (talk) 14:09, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

You recently added Earth and Planetary Science Letters to {{Meteorites}}. This is undoubtedly correct but there's nothing in the article that makes it self-evident. Would it be possible for you to add a sentence or even just a word to make it clear that meteorites and/or meteoritics are a primary topic of the journal. -Arb. (talk) 17:11, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Re your recent edit to Itqiy meteorite. A numbered list followed by a single bullet point in External links does look odd (until you get used to it) but it's standard; See also is explicitly for links internal to Wakipedia: Misplaced Pages:See_also#See_also_section. By the way, great work completing all those assessments. Three days to go. -Arb. (talk) 18:06, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
I reverted my edit and added a ":" so the two lists align. I guess that is a good way of reducing the change in indentation. Three days left for the collaboration of the month, but hopefully we can continue working in the task force next year. --Tobias1984 (talk) 19:39, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
I'm not really an expert on this template code. Is it possible that the first if-else-relationship (the one that adds the default picture) prevents the second if-else-relationship to recognize that image is undefined (because it is defined with the default picture)? Anyway, I hope you and your loved ones have a really great new year! --Tobias1984 (talk) 22:22, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
They're asleep now. Good wishes for 2013 to you and yours too. The bug was a spurious "</includeonly><noinclude>{{doc}}"; the </includeonly> deactivated the new code. There are 34 meteorites in the category as of just now. A pleasing first edit of the year. -Arb. (talk) 00:57, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Well lunar and martian meteorites are considered clans in one of my sources. I'm not sure we have a duo or trio article. Wouldn't those be considered grouplets? --Tobias1984 (talk) 20:22, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
I'll make those two clans then (if you don't get there first). As for duos and trios, you are quite right; I'd misremembered Binze, Lauretta, McSween, et al (very edifying read that one, by the way). Will eliminate Duo. -Arb. (talk) 21:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Update: Might be an idea if you added your source to the lunar and martian articles and a few words about being in a clan too. -Arb. (talk) 21:30, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Another topic. Do we have a definition for "Compositional type" anywhere? The infobox has a link to the wrong place right now. -Arb. (talk) 21:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure that this classification goes back to Maskelyne 1862 (or 1863?). So maybe it could link to "Meteorite Classification#Maskelyne Classification" where the tripartition could be explained. Or we make an own article about the Maskelyne classification. What do you think? --Tobias1984 (talk) 22:39, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
The tripartition is covered at Meteorite_classification#Traditional_classification_scheme is it not? As for "Maskelyne Classification", there's already a fair bit in "Meteorite_classification#History" so if you add another section watch out for overlap/duplication. Getting back to "Compositional type", if it can be said to be "in widespread use" it would conveniently fit at Meteorite classification#Terminology. That said, I don't have a strong view where it goes, just that it should be in and somewhere linkable. Let me know what you decide (so the infobox link can be fixed). -Arb.
