I obviously don't know what a subtopic is. Thank you to whoever fixes this for me. (Another learning opportunity for me!!)
I'm finally ready to submit this article that I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. I have two questions: 1. I've tried several times to upload a document to Wikicommons and was unsuccessful. Do I have to create a SEPARATE account to add to Wikicommons? 2. I'd really like to upload the map on page 6 of http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2006/5034/pdf/SIR20065034.pdf I've spent days reading about uploading and need help!!! Is it possible to upload a portion of a website? If so, could someone do this one for me (put it in the Puckwunge section). The descriptive text I'd like is: Bedrock geology of the extreme northeastern tip of Minnesota: prv=Rove Formation; prdb=Pigeon River diabase and kps=Puckwunge Formation. I have other portions of websites I'd like to upload, so I could follow whatever is done here. 3. Are university publications copy writed? Thank you for whatever help you give.

Thank you SOOOO much for your help in downloading the image of the tip of NE MN. I plan to study it now, so I can duplicate the process. As I mentioned, I have at least one other image I want to download. (The others are probably university websites.)
Most of the time my computer access is limited to after hours; I'm often too exhausted to absorb new things.
I also appreciate you answering my other questions. I wasn't seeing any information on Wikipedia about the first one, about registering for Commons.
I see by your page that you are a geologist. I've also submitted "Saganagan Orogeny" for peer review, if you are interested.
I'm currently working on the Algoman Orogeny (on my page) and doing extensive rewriting for "Vaalbara"; I had included that information in the Saganagan article, but realized it had VERY little to do with that orogeny. I was surprised when I hyper-linked it to see that an article already existed. That article was pretty much word-for-word the same as mine, but I had footnotes.

I think this article should be moved back to Rove Formation. The current title is needlessly verbose and isn't really accurate, since the article encompasses the present state of the formation. Pburka ( talk) 20:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

The article is a complete mess, I don't even see how it was promoted to GA in the first place. To describe the article as C class would be generous. The titular "Rove Formation" is never defined or explained. Most of the article discusses orogenies and other formations, before veering wildly off course into the Fur Trade and Endangered Flora. It is completely unfocused and overbloated. The sole contributor, @ Bettymnz4: hasn't been active in half a decade. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 23:54, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
The section about the Sudbury Impact needs to be removed. The impact predates the Rove formation by a considerably period of time and unrelated to it. In fact, the Rove Formation overlies "an intensely altered zone in the upper Gunflint and Biwabik formations." This altered zone in the upper Gunflint represents a subareally weathered surface and unconformity created by the forebulge of the initial Penokean Orogeny and period of concurrent nondeposition and weathering. Also, this section is based largely of material press erases and a message board instead of the original peer-reviewed papers. It is a mess that should be removed. Paul H.
