About the red-link ...

BTW, your User link is red because the page is empty; doing just about anything to your user page will fix that. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:09, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! What cameraderie!Daniel Helman (talk) 19:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Yesterday I couldn't even spell it, and now I are one?? :-) ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:36, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity: what kind of geology are you into? ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the question! I'm still relatively new to science, so I don't have much deep expertise in all my interests. I am fairly well-versed in mineralogy and crystallography, but my knowledge of stable isotope research is a bit weaker than many people's. I bridge into sustainability, and in that field I am well-versed in alternative energy, transportation, health, and various technologies. I know very little of economic geology, and am generally not involved in petroleum projects. I do some editing for "The Central European Journal of Geosciences" and have therefore read up on some recent developments across a range of fields. I'm working on an article for a geophysics journal, on telluric currents, and have some knowledge of that and other geophysics topics. That's for background. As far as interests: I'm very much interested in sustainability. I'm working on a project to promote some reasonable solutions to climate change that governments could implement (e.g. planting 100 billion trees per year would offset global anthropogenic CO2 and not destroy any country's economy). I'm also a fan of the arts, and, for example, would like to see enormous quartz crystal sculptures for the beautiful mood they would doubtless cast on public places. Generally, my interests are broader than the day.Daniel Helman (talk) 21:02, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

VAN Method

Hi, Daniel. Just a note that I am eagerly awaiting your comments on VAN, so we can work out what a suitable pov should be. I am also under a little pressure to move forward with this (more work to do!), so am hoping you're not entirely booked with other stuff. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 00:10, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi JJ. Point me to where you mean in the VAN page? I'm happy to give my input.Daniel Helman (talk) 01:17, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

February 2015

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Much obliged. Thanks for the good faith effort! Daniel Helman (talk) 04:54, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes, all true. Perhaps another editor who feels comfortable with the work will paraphrase the information. I'll put something into the talk page of the article. Best wishes.Daniel Helman (talk) 17:04, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
