A bit late, but...

Welcome!

Hello, Plazak, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Thanks for your interesting addtion to California Gold Rush

Since California Gold Rush is a Featured article, the expectation for edits in that article is pretty high. That is, substantive additions are generally expected to have a specific footnote describing a reliable source for the added text. Additions which are "unsourced" are subject to removal. Rather than simply reverting your recent addition to the Gold Rush article refering to the adoption of Mexican mining claim laws, it would be interesting if you would be kind enough to supply a reliable source for this information. If you are unaware how to add the source information to the article in a footnote, please just place the source information on my talk page. Thanks and welcome to Wikipedia!

A couple of things

One wikipedia convention followed by a number of editors (such as myself) is that we tend to check all edits one our WATCHLIST made by someone whose name appears in red. It's sort of a red flag as it were. If you add anything to your User:Page your name will thereafter appear in blue. Anyway, now on to your edits at W. S. Stratton. I'm a sculpture person and am wondering if the statue of Stratton on the Springs that you mention is actually the equestrian statue of William Jackson Palmer? If not, how about a picture of it? Anyway, nice to meet you. Carptrash 16:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well that is clearly NOT the staue that I was thinking of. Which is why my friends and family constantly warn me about thinking. "Don't do it!", they say. I've done a couple of statue sweeps of Colorado Springs and obviously missed this. I tried to find some information about it before contacting you, but was not able to do so. Anyway, your photo is a fine addition to the article. Einar aka Carptrash 03:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Check out my new theory in the article. It is the same statue. Carptrash 03:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lost Mines

Hi Plazak. Thanks for your message. When I get the time I'll look at expanding the explanation so it is clear that not all of the lost mines were actually mined :) Robert Brockway 17:23, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Calumet and Hecla

I was wondering if the section 'The end of copper mining' would be a good place to mention the take over of C&H land and the reopening of mines such as Centennial by Homestake Copper starting in the early 70's (I'd have to check my notes at home for the exact dates)? I plan on starting an article on Homestake copper anyway but since C&H's end coincides with Homestakes efforts in the UP, I wanted an opinion before I started any edits/articles, etc.

Thanks in Advance! Joe Djoeyd114 17:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Will do, I have allot of origional data about Homestake Copper, we cleaned out the Centennial Hoist house (we being myself and the contractor I worked for, I didn't want it to be viewed as theft). Ill take a look at the other articles. Cheers.

Silver mining in Arizona

Thank you for creating Silver mining in Arizona. I think it is an excellent article, and was thinking of nominating the article to appear on the WP:DYK column of the Main Page. I was thinking of nominating the following exert: Did you know... that silver mining in Arizona has produced more than 44 million ounces of silver? What do you think? --Boricuaeddie 20:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but I must nominate it in the following 5 days, preferably today (UTC) or tomorrow in order to be considered to appear on the Main Page. So, what do you think of the entry? Is it alright, or should I use another fact from the article. Oh, and don't worry about the article not being finished; only the entry appears on the main page. --Boricuaeddie 00:06, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great! I'm working on it. --Boricuaeddie 14:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, Silver mining in Arizona, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created on July 31 where you can improve it if you see fit. --Boricuaeddie 01:28, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Silver mining in Arizona

On 7 August, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Silver mining in Arizona, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

New Wiki Project

I thought I would pass this along to you, I'm just trying to get word out to people interested in mining.

Oil shale

Hi, Plazak. I wonder if you may be interested to help developing Oil shale and its spin-off articles. I listed Oil shale for the new peer review and related spin-off articles (Oil shale extraction, Oil shale geology, Oil shale industry, History of the oil shale industry, Oil shale reserves, Oil shale economics, and Environmental effects of oil shale industry) for the peer review. Your comments and edits will be most welcome. The intention is to have these articles ready for the GA and FA nominations.Beagel 18:03, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
