Talk:Geochronology/Ice cores

copy + paste from Wikipedia

Hello,

this seems to be a copy + paste from Wikipedia's article w:Ice core. Please see: Wikiversity:What Wikiversity is not

"A duplication of other Wikimedia projects. While Wikiversity complements other Wikimedia projects, it will not simply duplicate their content. So, if you want to read about a topic, you may be better off visiting, say, Wikipedia or Wikibooks, but if you want to learn about this topic, you can do so at Wikiversity. Learning materials will be created and used on Wikiversity, but materials on other projects may also be used as learning materials themselves or even places to consolidate this learning, i.e. writing an article, manual etc based on what you've learned. There may be some overlapping, but each project will maintain its own focus."

Everybody can copy + paste. But not everybody can make something new of a text (e.g. rephrasing, gaining new ideas (for others),...) What do you think about starting this as a type of learning experiment ? ----Erkan Yilmaz (talk ?, wiki blog) 16:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I was using this as an example on an external page :-( ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat + Identi.ca 12:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

15:31, 9 September 2013 Sidelight12 (discuss | contribs) deleted page Ice cores (direct copy of wikipedia's article. no effort to attribute or improve for wikiversity's purposes)

It was imported. When people bring articles over, they should give some attempt to either improve or attribute. If someone did some work on it, I wouldn't have deleted it, just fixed the attributions. Even if the person who copied it left a note saying it was copied from where, I would have imported the history. Copying and not doing any of that is lazy, and I saw no reason to cover up someone's lazy effort. - Sidelight12 ^Talk 17:26, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

I found ice cores using Random. At first I thought I had accidentally gone to it on Wikipedia. Unless, either of you object, I'd like to use this entry here as I was trying to do on Wikipedia; i.e., for research and possible original research. I've already been modifying it from the Wikipedia original and have much more I would like to add. If either of you prefer it in its original Wikipedia copy form, I can remove my changes. I was delighted when I realized it was actually here at Wikiversity but forgot that I should check with whomever brought it over before starting to use it. Sorry! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 00:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Ice cores and Geochronology

I have been thinking about this for awhile so I'd like to pass this by you to get your opinions.

Usually, in stratigraphy corings are used to obtain hidden rock layer sequences. But, ice cores are more often used in geochronology like a coring from a tree for its ring sequence. As such I would like to move this resource to geochronology/ice cores. I have already moved the various types of ices: ice cores/black ice, clear ice, and brittle ice to their respective minerals/ices/black ices, for example. What do you think?

Comments, questions, criticisms are most welcome. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 02:27, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
