Hangon

I'm working on it, fixing it soon. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 13:01, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name

I don't think that the current name is appropriate. A timeline of the Earth Sciences should address everything to do with the earth sciences, not just continental drift. Maybe something more like Timeline of the development of the continental drift/plate tectonics theory, but that's a bit wordy. I'll try to come up with some other alternatives.

I agree, but it is still not complete. I have a section with the more recent history in my sandbox. Still working on it... --Chris.urs-o (talk) 10:15, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, although I was actually thinking of other things such as neptunism/plutonism, catastrophism/uniformitarianism, the identification of past ice ages, the recognition of thrusting, the age of the earth, that had a major impact on the understanding of the earth (big topic though).

A never ending story... Too big for me... Relevant is Yellowstone and the Big One San Francisco Earthquake. I want to understand better, both... I think, that I have not the time for all the rest... How about 'Timeline of the Geodynamics'? --Chris.urs-o (talk) 11:20, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All of "earth sciences" is so immense that it really would take an expert to get anywhere near proper coverage, and to work out proper weight. You started from continental drift, and have since expanded it enough that 'geodynamics' is, I think, not beyond reach. But perhaps better to pull back a bit to something like "development of plate tectonic theory". - J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:38, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Hi, Chris. I see you're still tweaking your citations – which is a good thing. But I would like to suggest, again, that it would be generally easier and more efficient to put all your citations (that is, the {{citation}} template with all the bibliographic details) in a separate section at the end of the article, and link to them with {{harv}} in the text. Ask if you have questions. - J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 17:46, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
