On behalf of the subject and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I have submitted a draft article about Adolf Peretti for review, if any project members are interested in taking a look. I have disclosed my COI on the draft and its Talk page, and will avoid editing the main space. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 18:38, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Rename/Move of all tectonic plate names - Proposal discussion

A proposal to rename/move the articles for Earth's tectonic plates is being discussed at Talk:Eurasian_Plate#Requested_move_6_October_2024. The rename involves changing the word "plate" to lowercase; for example, change from e.g. "Eurasian Plate" to "Eurasian plate". The proposal currently lists 74 plates. Participation in the discussion is welcome. GeoWriter (talk) 11:59, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

This RM to lowercase the world's tectonic plates was relisted on October 15. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:18, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Eric & Matthew Gilbert, PhD sites being used as a reference on mountaineering and peak heights

I've started a reliable sources discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Eric_&_Matthew_Gilbert,_PhD_site_at_https://www.countryhighpoints.com/about/ Is there website of any credibility for anything mountain/geology related? https://www.countryhighpoints.com/about/ I've seen this WP:SPS used to support claims related to mountains. Eric has an h-index of 5, and being cited by peers in things like gas valve safety, but not on geology matter and I would for example not cite a geologist for mechanical engineering stuff. I don't think they clear the WP:EXPERTSPS hurdle for mountain peaks. Graywalls (talk) 13:38, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Auckland meteorite

I know this is a long shot but the article Auckland (meteorite) is in need of expansion for the scientific description of it, by using this source. I'd like to get it to a good article eventually but I don't understand the technical stuff so I'd like to ask for help. ―Panamitsu (talk) 01:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
