Just FYI I found that the NOAA produced maps of "geothermal resources" to go with that 1980 report we use a lot. The good people of University of Nevada Reno scanned them and I grabbed them all and put them here:

Commons:Category:Maps of geothermal resources of the United States

I think it includes all the states in the continental U.S. north and west of Texas, except possibly South Dakota (which may well be out there somewhere). Most are in PDF format but I think can convert to jpg and/or png if need be, just let me know which ones.

I think/hope they should be citable sources if they have any info that isn't already in the report; I cited the California one in one place already as <ref name="CAgeothermmap-1980">{{Cite map |last1=Higgins |first1=Chris T. |last2=Therberge |last3=Ikelman |first2=Albert E. Jr. |first3=Joy A. |title=Geothermal Resources of California |url=https://data.nbmg.unr.edu/public/Geothermal/GreyLiterature/GeothermalResources_California_1980_R.pdf |date=1980 |publisher=California Department of Mines and Geology |publication-place=Sacramento |others=NOAA National Geophysical Center}}</ref>

I can't really figure out the name of the original report or repository these came from so just leaning on the unr.edu for now. Cheers, jengod (talk) 04:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jengod, thanks for your note. How wonderful that you uploaded scans of the maps! I've got a copy of the paper maps from along with the 1980 hardcopy of the report Thermal springs list for the United States (1980) By Berry, George W. ; Grim, P. J. (Paul J.) ; Ikelman, Joy A.

Because I travel alot and live between two states in two different regions of the country, I seldom travel with the paper copies, instead I use a pdf. You can download the entire .pdf of the book here: [1] but it doesn't include the maps. Thanks again for uploading this excellent resource for hot springs! Netherzone (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just took a moment to look on Commons, and those are different than the maps than the ones I have. This is a superb new resource, Jen. Thanks again. Netherzone (talk) 16:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You've got mail-- I know you're busy right now but I just wanted to make sure you know. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 01:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Moneytrees, I will respond tomorrow. Netherzone (talk) 03:12, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Moneytrees, please check your email...you've got mail. Netherzone (talk) 22:35, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned that Pueblo pottery has been considered as a potential GA candidate in the past. I have a decent amount of GA experience from both sides of the table and have appreciated my interactions with you recently, so I'd be happy to walk you through a review on such a solid article. There's been something of a renaissance regarding Indigenous American culture on Wikipedia over the last couple years, meaning I'm fairly confident that any gaps/concerns that arise would draw support from the handful of other editors in that subject area. If you wind up nominating Pueblo pottery now or later, please ping me and I'll pick up the review. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:10, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for this, it really made my day! I do think it is the best work I've done for WP, and spent a lot of time researching the subject. It was my "pandemic project"; I ordered a bunch of books and hunkered down in the house to work on it. In the next day or two I will read up on GA's and what the expectations and process involves. If I decide to nominate it, I will definitely ping you. Thanks again. Netherzone (talk) 15:17, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! My pandemic projects were a handful of CO ghost towns and the various Book of Common Prayer articles (I've almost wrapped those up!). I happen to presently live in Arlington, Virginia. If additional images or sources are required, they have a lot of material available at the NMAI in DC. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No rush at all. Star Mississippi 15:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to hear from you! Replied. Netherzone (talk) 16:34, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WOW, that photo! Stellar! Netherzone (talk) 01:11, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi -- just wanted to make sure you saw the conversation about you at Talk:Piñon, Colorado/GA1 - let me know if you're OK with the GA nomination proceeding. As it stands The Nuggeteer would get the credit for the GA if it were to be promoted. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mike Christie, sorry for the delay getting back to you. I think it is odd that The Nuggeteer would get the credit for the GA when I did the lion's share of the work on it. I'm sort of perplexed by this, but then again I don't know how the GA process works. I'll comment on the article talk page. Netherzone (talk) 08:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Netherzone: I'm sorry that I nominated the article without your permission, and you can be the nominator now, I'm going to work on other articles which I mostly worked on, by the way, I don't see any questions on my talk page, the thread which contains the GA nom does not have any unanswered questions, can you tell me? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 00:35, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer, thanks for the response. I had tried to start a conversation with you on your talk page, however you archived the messages I left for you, so it seemed like you were not interested in discussing the authorship matter. Netherzone (talk) 17:54, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

story · music · places

Today I have two "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, watch and listen, - I like today's especially because you see him at work, hear him talk about his work and the result of his work - rare! - and a sunset if you click on places -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:33, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, can't wait to read this one - love that photo of him at work. Beautiful photo to the right as well, will check out your other pix soon. Netherzone (talk) 15:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thank you, ... and a third, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:35, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extraordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:58, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is about education, 10 years OTD after lecturing our founder. Music for today's feast is Monteverdi's, the best concert we ever did (so pictured again on my talk). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:43, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much deserved. --ARoseWolf 11:05, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Left guide, @ARoseWolf, Thank you both very much, I really appreciate the barnstar. I'm still feeling worn out from the years-long energy drain. Receiving this shiny star is a pick-me-up! Netherzone (talk) 18:19, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
