Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Elf worked, and it has been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:55, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Elf, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Elf. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to a loss of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 15:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Re your message: I have removed all of your edits about elves and cats because none of it was sourced and you appear to be posting your own personal opinions and views. Such content is not allowed on Wikipedia. Please stop adding it to the Elf article. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 15:45, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Re your message: No. Please stop messing with the Elf article. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 15:51, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. - Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:14, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

As elves are not real creatures, I would like to know why I have been blocked. I used the talk page to determine if others have heard the same story regarding elves and cats as I had. If this is not allowable, I apologize, let me know where I could inquire with others about this question if not here.

The reality of elves is irrelevant. You could post at Answers.com, Yahoo! Questions, or FunTrivia to see if anyone knows anything - and try to get reliable sources if they do. Personally, I've had an interest in the field for a long time but have heard nothing about elves and cats. Peridon (talk) 19:40, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:

Well, I guess I owe the Wikipedia (and more specifically) the Elf community and apology. Thank you Peridon for the information on where I could attempt to find out more information. I apologize for what has been termed vandalism. It won't happen again if someone could see fit to unblock me. Thank you.John1kc (talk) 20:34, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Considering your unblock request still doesn't seem to take this project seriously, I see no indication that you are here to contribute constructively in building an encyclopedia. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:11, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:

My apology was real. I have no desire to deliteriously affect pages.John1kc (talk) 17:44, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

On behalf of elves everywhere, I'm glad to accept your apology; nonetheless, I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block and because it is inadequate, as you failed to convince me the block is no longer necessary because you understand what you have been blocked for, will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and will make useful contributions instead.

Request reason:

Ok, allow me to once again apologize. I am sincerely sorry. I won't alter pages with misinformation. I won't attempt to be funny. I will only make edits when I have relaibale, fact-based information which is readily verifiable with references. I hope that someone will take me seriously.

Decline reason:

This request for unblocking has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:

• Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
• Read our guide to improving articles
• Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
  • If you have trouble choosing an article to improve, see this index of articles needing improvement for ideas.
• Click the Edit tab at the top of that article and scroll down past the message informing you of your block.
• Copy the source of that article and paste it to the bottom of your talk page under a new top-level heading (like this: = [[Article title]] =) and save the page before you improve it.
• Propose some significant and well researched improvements to your article by editing your personal copy of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
• When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
  • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{helpme|your question here}}" to your talk page. Thank you. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:23, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I'll notify Reaper Eternal, but I don't expect it will be convincing, especially as the user himself didn't edit this page for a year or so. Huon (talk) 18:03, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Glaciers

As glaciers move across a surface, they pluck rocks from it, and incorporate them into their mass. At the coast, fragments of glacier detach and float away as icebergs, which are often transported (ice rafted) many miles into the ocean, where they melt and deposit their load. When entrained rocks sink to the ocean floor, they can be incorporated into the oceanic sediments, which are typically fine grained.

My addition - If the silt and sand lamination is puctured by large clasts, the evidence is strong that the clasts were rafted by ice to the site of deposition (Field Geology Illustrated. Terry S. Maley, 2005)
