Orlady, Last July 2009 you interacted with me on Wikipedia's entry for Henry Darcy. At the time (and for months after) I could not find a reference that I'd seen about Darcy. Today, however, I stumbled across the following reference.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to add such an entry to Wikipedia and am requesting your help. I wish to make reference to [ https://info.ngwa.org/GWOL/pdf/940659647.pdf ]. As you will see, it was published in (1994) Vol 32, no. 1, GROUND WATER, pp 23-30.

Hi. This is a long-overdue welcome -- it's too bad you haven't attracted anyone's attention before this.
I regret that I reverted your additions to Henry Darcy (but they are still preserved in the page history). There was no source (see WP:V), the information appears to be your own original research (not a proper basis for a Wikipedia article), and I'm not convinced that the detailed grave location is encyclopedic (seems like trivia). I think that maybe I should have left in the name of the cemetery, but it still needs a published source. -- Orlady ( talk) 03:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
I hope you got my reply about Henry Darcy and the name change of the Dijon cemetery. I should add that the reference I've relied on is an English translation by Patricia Bobeck ( http://www.pbobeck.com/fountains.html). -- Peno Black ( talk) 03:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Peno Black ( talk) 03:17, 4 July 2009 (UTC) Thanks for your comments. I did in fact checkout the Bobeck translation from the University of Illinois library and think it would be an excellent reference for English readers. A number of symposiums (Geological Society of America for one) have proposed tours (GSA Ventures) to Dijon and some of my info came from them. Plus, I visited Dijon in May 2009 despite not finding all of the facts about Darcy in academic publications. I did witness a plaque placed in 2006 at his memorial fountain by the International Association of Hydrogeologists (written in French) and perhaps they have some attributes that could be referenced.
