Middle Cretaceous

Hello, Dustinliu75;

The two-part division of the Cretaceous was established when early geologists could find reasons to divide the Cretaceous into Lower (or Early, when dealing with time) and Upper (or Late), but not to divide it into more sections. It turns out that worldwide, the rocks of the Lower Cretaceous record more terrestrial deposition, and the rocks of the Upper Cretaceous record more shallow marine deposition because shallow seas submerged the low-lying areas of the continents. The differences in the rocks made for a clear division. J. Spencer (talk) 22:12, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:54, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
