Add your request in the most appropriate place below.
Before adding a request please: Search for existing articles on the same subject. If an article exists, but not at the title you expected, you can create a redirect. Check spelling and capitalization. Be sure the subject meets Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. For scientific terms to be included in Wikipedia, they should be sourced to a textbook or academic publication; try searching Google Books, PubMed and Google Scholar. Also, when adding a request, please include as much information as possible (such as webpages, articles, or other reference material) so editors can find and distinguish your request from an already-created article.

Non-people topics

Public Lab, also known as Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science. Community and non-profit democratizing science to address environmental issues that affect people. "We aim to open research from the exclusive hands of scientific experts. By doing so, communities facing environmental justice issues are able to own the science and advocate for the changes they want to see. By promoting a hands-on, do-it-yourself ethos, we support each other’s exploration, which leads to technical development and real applications in our communities." For various news articles and videos on Public Lab, including from Newsweek, Al Jazeera, BBC, Washington Post, Popular Science, etc, go here.

Knock Out Rose (The Knock Out Rose is a specific type of rose created by William Radler in 2000, and has been used to create new hybrids of Knock Out Roses, ultimately creating a family of its own. It is highly disease-resistant to most diseases that plague other species of roses except for Rose Rosette Disease. Knock Out Roses require very little attention and upkeep, are self-cleaning, and are able to grow through and between USDA Zones 5 and 9. I feel this family of rose should be put under the article about roses, as any information about them cannot be found on Wikipedia, but there are plenty of reliable sources about them elsewhere.) (Sources: The American Rose Society: Will Radler's Garden The American Rose Society: Rose Rosette Disease Chicago Botanic Garden: Roses, Knock Out Transgenic Horticultural Crops: Challenges and Opportunities, by Dr. Beiquan Mou and Dr. Ralph Scorza Star Roses and Plants: The Knock Out Family of Roses Missouri Botanical Garden: Rosa 'Radrazz' KNOCK OUT University of Florida: Gardening Solutions: Knock Out Roses Roses Without Chemicals: 150 Disease-Free Varieties That Will Change the Way You Grow Roses, by Peter Kukielski)

Microbiology

competition index assay
domestic dust - the dust article touches on it, but there could be much more added as its own article
iron ochre --There is already an article about the pigment made from iron ore. Because this request was added to the microbiology section of this page, I'm guessing that what is wanted is something about the bacterial aspects of iron-ochre pigment in household and drainage water...?

Minerals

Lapis specularis (Lapis specularis, or specularibus lapidibus, is a variety of gypsum (selenite) that forms crystal sheets. The sheets were used as window panes in the first and second centuries AD. It is referred in 1 Corinthians 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly." specularibus lapidibus. It is also referenced in six Wikipedia articles. No one has yet written an article defining what it is, or tied it to it's very special biblical reference. It is not mentioned in the history of the window and there is no history of it under windowpane materials in Wikipedia.) (Haymond, Bruce: 8 July, 2012; "Seeing Through a Glass Darkly, and the Urim & Thummim", Temple study, web source; http://www.templestudy.com/2012/07/08/glass-darkly-urim-thummim/)
Krysterna synthetic mineral used for watch crystals
Palladot (pallasite) peridot gems from meteorites - such gems get a mention in peridot, but not with that name, I doubt the notability

Wark-Lovering rim sequence
Cristinite synthetic man-made gemstone with no natural counterpart.[[8]][[9]][[10]][[11]][[12]][[13]][[14]]
Golden Healer Golden Healer is a type of quartz crystal, but it deserves its own page - the variety citrine (the name for yellow quartz) has its own section in the quartz article already, there is insufficient material for its own article
Humic Shale A naturally occurring source of minerals for use as a fertilizer
Dimorphous Describing two minerals that have the same chemical formula but are different in crystal structure. [15] None of the entries on Dimorphism appear to reference this meaning.

Opoka Mineral in Eastern Europe used in phosporus recovery. [17]

Geologic time periods

Template:Req This in concept would be a geology reference showing and including a succession of best guess maps showing continental drift effects. IIRC, data more than 2.5 billion years is lacking... so from then to present, circa 33-1/3rd Millions of years apart, would be my choice. Hence one can do a third on the hundred multiples, and go back and build the intervening maps on the rest. I also believe both 50 and 100 million years are too coarse to be truly useful, whereas the three times a hundred give some resolution without too many maps in the project.
Template:Req Table of Major and Minor, Geologic timescale xref'd, perhaps some link to geology/geography resultant structures or features in evidence today. Try this Timeline_of_glaciation (more)
Template:Req
Pages for epochs in the Permian period The Template:Req, Template:Req and Template:Req epochs currently redirect to the Permian page - surely these deserve their own pages?
Pages for the British named staged of the Pliocene - the Gedgravian Stage and the Ludhamian Stage

Labrador Plateau
Lee Moor - not sure about this being a separate page; it should be a subcategory under Imerys (due to extensive mining work carried out by the company at the site)
Liquefaction zone — judging by how many articles refer to a "liquefaction zone" (or "zones"), as attempting to view the non-existent article demonstrates, I'm surprised this article doesn't already exist. I've now read the relevant sections in the Earthquake and Liquefaction articles, but I'm still not entirely clear on what a liquefaction *zone* is...
List of seamounts by summit depth - comparable to List of islands by highest point and including seamounts of under perhaps 1000 m depth - List of volcanoes in the Hawaiian – Emperor seamount chain, List of volcanoes in Japan, List of volcanoes in Tonga, https://earthref.org/SC, http://volcano.si.edu

Orthomagmatic
Paleomegalandslide
Pannonian mixed forests

Polycyclic land forms in geography
Protocontinent, Proto-Continent, Proto Continent - referenced in several articles but not defined. CRATON article implies that protocontinent and craton are interchangeable terms; curiously adding proto-craton term, implying more ancient structure. BASEMENT (GEOLOGY) article suggests basement rock is the oldest, much like protocontinent and craton, but the distinctions between them are not clear.
Pull of the recent - this is a geological artifact of the fossil record whereby knowledge of some fossil taxa is disproportionally represented by the existence of extant species.

- Could be biology related instead. A very rare luminous phenomenon occurring most often in the Indian Ocean observations made by many credible sources including in many navy logbooks. Still a frontier of science like so many luminous phenomena sadly but hopefully more research to come soon. Appearance is usually a glowing spinning wheel at the ocean surface with distinctive bands. Sometimes multiple ones are observed. The most popular theory right now is some kind of bioluminesecent animal but why they would perform this behaviour is still unknown.

Chongoni - mountain in Malawi
Costa Rica Dome, an area of the ocean in Eastern Tropical Pacific, where the oceanic thermocline comes within 10m of the surface, creating a unique biodiversity hotspot; see [25],[26], [27], [28]
Disi aquifer - "A so called fossil water" in Southern Jordan and Northern Saudi Arabia where "Much of the water in the Disi aquifer essentially hasn’t moved since it began dripping into the ground during the Pleistocene era, some 30 000 years ago," and is radioactive. [29]
Ebano Verde Scientific Reserve - scientific reserve in Constanza, Dominican Republic.
Faraglioni (Capri) - the three "famous" faraglioni located in the Bay of Naples, off the island of Capri. Don't you think they absolutely need an article, even better if translated from the Italian one? Thanks a lot ^_^
Floating Meadow - an ecological habitat of the Brazilian rainforest, where grasses clump together and form floating mats. Scientifically, this is discussed by Junk "Investigations on the ecology and production-biology of the 'Floating Meadows' (Paspalo-Echinochloetum) on the Middle Amazon". Other references are available here [30] and here [31]. In Europe the term seems to be loosely used interchangeably with "Water Meadow" or "Flooded Meadow" as seen in Wikipedia. However, this is due to the absence of an actual separate ecology in Europe making the distinction of less importance. There are many articles on Wikipedia which refer to floating meadows (such as the one on Piranhas), but unfortunately there is no article where the ecology is actually discussed.

Last Chance Valley - A valley where Richard Stoddard claimed there was a lake filled with gold nuggets; is this different than Last Chance Range?

There is more than one Last Chance Valley. One is located "east of the Last Chance Range" in Death Valley [32]. Another is a historical valley in Plumas County, California, that is now filled by a reservoir called Frenchman Lake [33]. The latter is in the Gold Country and is likely the one requested.

List of mountains by elevation growth rate or "elevation increase rate", or whatever sounds better.
Mendoza Andes
Mount Sunday NZ Near Mount Potts and Rangitata River; see [34]

Mount Sunday itself is called a "small hill" in the linked page, which calls into question its notability. Perhaps the requester wanted an article on the wetland? Gorthian (talk) 17:31, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
