Welcome to WikiProject Geology, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of geology. For more information on WikiProjects in general, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects.
Goals
- This WikiProject aims to enhance information on geology.
Scope
- All articles included in the Category:Geology technically fall within the scope of this project. We acknowledge and are grateful for the efforts of other projects dealing with specific areas of geology, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Volcanoes, and will focus this project's attention primarily on those articles which do not fall within the scope of any of these related projects.
Open tasks and guidelines
- Tag the talk pages of all articles with which this project will directly deal with the {{WikiProject Geology}} banner.
- Tag the talk pages of any new articles with {{WikiProject Geology}} so can be automatically added to the articles page.
- See Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles.
Similar Wikiprojects
- WikiProject Volcanoes
- WikiProject Dinosaurs

Geologyguy (talk · contribs) | General, vandal patrol | Will try to add content |
Climberdave (talk · contribs) | Well geology really I guess | Capable of adding and updating on previous topic, little new to the whole creating pages thing |
Blueschist (talk · contribs) | metamorphic petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, subduction zones...and general stuff | it's tough to dedicate time since I'm busy at work, but I watch these pages plus lots of rock stuff. I'll look around for a page needing attention. |
Zamphuor (talk · contribs) | General, with some leaning towards "soft rocks" and stuff related to impact cratering | Don't have much time to devote, but hope to be periodically active |
Tillman (talk · contribs) | Economic geology, geochemistry, mining geology, history of geology & mining | I've been adding some new pages, and have recently cleaned up and added to the
List of geologists. I'll continue to be active as time permits. |
MeanStreets (talk · contribs) | I'm currently working in the petoleum industry, just graduated uni with a geology degree, geophysics, sedimentology, seismology, plate tech, petroleum play, | i'm busy finding that oil but i have some free time at weekends. ask me to do something and i'll probably say yes. |
Hike395 (talk · contribs) | American cordillera | I've helped write some general overview articles. |
Solarapex (talk · contribs) | Project maintenance activities | My apologies to the members for calling for the creation of this project and doing nothing. Tragic events pulled out my attention from Wikipedia. Thanks to Warlordjohncarter for picking up. |
maveric149 (talk · contribs) | Geology of the various provinces and parks of North America | Written most of the geology of U.S. national parks articles along with some articles on American volcanoes and provinces. Would like to help get all eon and period articles to GA/FA quality. Long term: help get all geology-related topics listed at WP:VITAL featured. |
Think outside the box (Talk - Contribs) | all | |
Mikenorton (talk · contribs) | happy to be involved as a contributor | |

AstroHurricane001 (talk · contribs) | Sourcing and additions to extant articles, some creation | |
Bejnar (talk · contribs) | History of Geology, New Mexico, volcanoes, biography, Quaternary, | overextended as well, but please feel free to ask for factual sourcing as I am near a good geology library |
Graeme Bartlett (talk · contribs) | Ediacaran and Australian region | |
Eve Hall (talk · contribs) | Volcanology, remote sensing, geophysics | Will probably mostly end up vandal-swatting, but will try to contribute when I can. |
arkuat (talk · contribs) | Primarily interested in geologic timescale and history of Earth. | Curious but not knowledgeable about theories of petroleum origin. |
Qyd (talk · contribs) | Oil and gas, soft rock, stratigraphy | Would like to start a wikiatlas of stratigraphy for WCSB |
Emperorbma (talk · contribs) | Mainly to help bring the Geologic timeline project under the umbrella of this project. | |
Verisimilus (talk · contribs) | Early life, macroevolution, palæontology (except dinosaurs) | I've wasted enough time on geology articles, I suppose I may as well be part of the project... |

Resources
Articles in need of work
Near Good Article status
The following articles are almost ready for GA-nomination - if someone wants to put in a little work they could take them there!
- Ediacaran biota and Cambrian explosion are both half-way to becoming Good Articles and would benefit from some attention | Verisimilus T 11:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- Snowball Earth - a detailed article that could be made into a GA with a little work - help appreciated! Verisimilus T 18:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- Eocene is very nearly GA status, and is included in the 2006 Wikipedia CD Selection. A little work would take it up to the required level! Verisimilus T 22:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ice age - a comprehensive article, needs considerable honing
- Carnian - very close.
- Impact event - Good content but needs a lot of tidy-up.
Other articles
- Pages needing attention (Geology)
- Subduction currently okay, however structure of the article needs work. Also lacks information regarding theories of subduction initiation which strikes me as a neccessary addition. As stated on the talk page the current graphic is incorrect (even though it appears to be supplied by the USGS) I'm currently working on a replacement but its going to take a little more time (finals for the next 2 weeks) ClimberDave 10:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm currently working on setting up a Geology of Cyprus article, this will hopefully then lead onto articles about Transform Faults, Obduction, Ophiolite and Messinian Salinity Crisis. Plus what ever else turns up. MeanStreets "...Chorizo..." 14:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I see most of these have been set up already; I'll look at adding some images from my fieldwork there. MeanStreets "...Chorizo..." 14:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- There is only indirectly an article for talus (scree) and no article for pediment (Wikipedia was still the first hit for pediment though, because of the classical kind (pediment) ). I came to find out the difference between the two and saw the absence. 65.96.190.159 13:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Geoforecasting - appears to be a stub with the top-priority.
- Ring of Guillion - some of my family live near by so I was having a read up, the article is a little weird I briefly spoke with Prof. G. Fitton about the structure a year or two back and from that I was lead to believe that the structure was simply an excellent example of a Ring Dyke resulting from Caldera collapse not "practically unique globally ..[sic]..when a collision of two massive plates may have dislodged into the earth’s mantle an enormous pluton that had intruded into the bottom of the crust at this point".
