The above was a "canned" welcome.
I'm always happy to see a subject matter expert joining the project. Especially when a geologist jumps in. There is a lot to be done, so jump right in. And apologies for my rather blunt undo of your first effort, especially as I see others agreeing with you and my experience with sedimentary geology is a bit dated. So, indeed: Welcome aboard and enjoy the show! Feel free to drop me a note if you are confused about some odd Wikipedia-ways and/or rules.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I think (hope!) that I can make a reasonable contribution to the sedimentary structures entry and many of the linked entries for specific structures this fall. I am going to have the students in my 400-level Sedimentary Geology class write term "papers" that will be converted to wiki entries that include images from my personal teaching collection. We will work through a first draft on a test wiki hosted on a college server before migrating content over to wikipedia. As you can imagine, this will be a learning experience for everyone. I will probably be asking lots of questions about how best to go about this (sandbox, etc)!
Hi, I apologize for being slow to answer your question about reading images. Now I'm back in Potsdam I'm looking into it - it should be possible, I just don't know how. I'll let you know as soon as I find out - probably I'll find a way in the next week or so. Hope your work is going well. Walkerma ( talk) 17:01, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
After our discussion about the new articles and photos, I went through your photos and raided some of your great pics for pages I worked on a while ago but did not have good pics, like lithic sandstone. Hope that was OK! The only thing we need is a photomicrograph of an arkose... do you have one of those handy? QFL 24-7 bla ¤ cntrb ¤ kids ¤ pics ¤ vids 21:34, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
