Hello, there I am Ceranthor-elda, king of the elves. For many years I have ruled this forest, and my people live in harmony. I go by many names;you may have known me either as LordSunday, Meldshal (a redirect), or Meldshal42.

Work

• Note you can also contact me often on Commons.

Mostly around here I build articles. I also patrol the newpages and recent changes tools. I contribute to AIV and UAA, but mostly focus on AFD and IFD. I'm also responsible for WP:FACIAL with Pedro and Nancy.

So far, I've contributed some featured articles substantially, a bunch of good articles, and and a bunch of featured pictures. As well as a hell lot more of stuff.

I'm the creator of WikiProject Earthquakes, and also actively contribute to WikiProject Volcanoes, and WikiProject Solar System articles, but most of my contributions are towards science.

Always remember that...

• I am trustworthy, remember that you can always trust me.
• My lifestyle is something in between humorous and boring. I do both, The Raven is something I enjoy, however, I also enjoy Alex Borstein. See the difference?
• I'm artistic. Not in the physical way but the mental. I know most of you are like what?, but for those who this is meant for, well, you understand.
• I am adventurous. I like working on all kinds of new things.
• I enjoy old music (oldies). You may not, but that's quite alright.
• I am not brash. I always take plenty of time before I decide on something.
• This is the most important thing about me — I don't care what you do to me. No matter what, I'll always forgive you.

• Now for the really important stuff:

• I take the idea of "Treat others as you want to be treated" very seriously.
• Also, I take deep offense to anyone who speaks down to me because of my age. Seriously!

Understand this well. I do not make fun in this above information. Alright!

I was previously known as Meldshal42. I cleaned out my userpage once again because it was overcrowding. In case I am ever checkusered and believed to be a sockpuppet, Zelink546, one of my adoptees, is a real life friend, who has edited from this computer a couple of times.

Apparently, I have a good heart.

Re: Question

I wouldn't object; it's not an article I frequently edit anyway; my only question is whether you intend to focus on the asteroid belt or whether such a formation section would also apply to all asteroids including (perhaps) the centuars. Serendi^podous 22:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

It is indeed. However, both Formation and evolution of the Solar System and asteroid belt have a section on asteroid belt formation, so if I were to consider adding a formation section to asteroid I'd make it more general. Serendi^podous 22:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Right now I'm revising the maths on List of Solar System bodies in hydrostatic equilibrium, which is a suicidally boring task. Eventually, once major work on the Solar System lists is finished, I intend to go onto Jupiter Trojan, the last unfinished component of the Jupiter subtopic. Serendi^podous 22:44, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Hoo boy. You do realise that now I'm counting on you to get Hills Cloud up to FA level? Because it will have to be included in the Solar System FT. Serendi^podous 23:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

For the copyedit. :) –Juliancolton ^{Happy Holidays} 14:51, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

 Done with the review of your volcano article. Yeah, that would be cool to collaborate on an article. In fact, there have been cases where hurricanes trigger earthquakes... –Juliancolton ^{Happy Holidays} 15:23, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

No worries, I'm just very strict with prose. Good work with that article. –Juliancolton ^{Happy Holidays} 15:24, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look. Just so I know, which sections of the article have you finished? –Juliancolton ^{Happy Holidays} 15:28, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I copyedited about half the article (since simply listing prose issues would have been to easy :)). I'll finish it up in a few minutes. –Juliancolton ^{Happy Holidays} 15:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Nevado del Ruiz

I am afraid, but the article has a serious problem and is unlikely to pass now. The problem is the use of copy-pasted lightly paraphrased text from the cited sources. I want to say that it was a bad idea from the beginning. I suggest you to withdraw the nomination, than rewrite offending text in your own words and renominate after that. If you want I can help you. I should have raised this issue before, because I noticed several such examples in the past. Meanwhile, Happy new year! Ruslik (talk) 08:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

1970 Tonghai

I'm not sure if 1970 Tonghai is long enough to become an FA. I guess it's worth a shot, but it's pretty hard to bring it up unless it is >15 kb. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 13:40, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but most of them are on storms that generally stayed out to sea and didn't kill anyone. 1970 Tonghai killed 15,000 people. See the difference? ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 13:43, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I guess so. I'm currently working on Dahomeyan politicians and coups like Hubert Maga and Maurice Kouandete. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 15:09, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Hell's Gate National Park

Hell's Gate National Park has been nominated for a good article reassessment. Articles are typically reviewed for one week. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to good article quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. Reviewers' concerns are here.

While looking at some Good Articles by a nominator I am currently reviewing, I noticed that another editor had raised concerns about this article which you had passed as a GA. I share those concerns. I am opening up a review. SilkTork *^YES! 20:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

New project suggestion

Hey. I'm just wondering if you are interested in making a new project on seamounts. Seamounts are not within the scope of the Mountains WikiProject and there's an overlap with the Volcanoes WikiProject. But I don't know how to create a new wikiproject so that's why I'm asking you if you're interested or not. Contact me on my talk page if you have any suggestions.

Sure, I'll review your article, but the review won't be done today, cause I'm busy working on other stuff right now, if that's cool with you. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:50, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Pamukkale

Hi Ceranthor,

Just wondering if you had an opinion about Edit 2 (processing from original file) to confirm this as the leading FPC? Thanks. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 13:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Nevado del Ruiz

Are you going to finish this article? Two things need to be done. 1) I think, the giant quote should be moved to the Armero tragedy article. You can replace it with a short summary. 2) Try to find all places where the text follows sources too closely and try to rewrite it in your own words. I have just expanded parts about geology of the eruption on the basis of the Science article. Ruslik (talk) 17:49, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

The first paragraph in the 'Geology' section too closely follows this website (ref 13). Ruslik (talk) 16:10, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I think the article should provide more information about flora, fauna, social and environmental value of of Nevado del Ruiz. There is a good source (ref 8). Ruslik (talk) 09:30, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm done with RFA...*note to self*

Just in case anyone cares, I've decided that RFA is totally over-rated, and I will now rarely !vote in discussion. It's full of people who just support without actually evaluating the candidate. This doesn't apply to you if you previously knew the user, but it's really not fair to just support based on other people's opinions. Have your own mind, people.
