Do you think this is a good idea? I quite like it, with the warning at the top, makes the page more interesting. Otherwise it's just a bunch of topics with a definition of geography at the top. Obviously it still needs quite a bit of work and we can learn from all the other portals. I recommend that we scout around and find the best features of others and then try to copy them in improving the portal. --<a href="/wiki/User:Komencanto" title="User:Komencanto">komencanto</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Geography#c-Komencanto-2005-07-14T08:26:00.000Z-New_start_page" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:26, 14 July 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Komencanto-2005-07-14T08:26:00.000Z-New_start_page"><span id="ooui-php-1" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-iconElement oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"icon":"share","label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-icon-share oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Komencanto-2005-07-14T08:26:00.000Z-New_start_page"></span> </p> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DavidLevinson-2005-07-16T11:46:00.000Z-Komencanto-2005-07-14T08:26:00.000Z"></span>This looks good, and is an excellent use of the Category pages and a way to be more informative for people linking from the front page. <a href="/wiki/User:DavidLevinson" title="User:DavidLevinson">dml</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Geography#c-DavidLevinson-2005-07-16T11:46:00.000Z-Komencanto-2005-07-14T08:26:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:46, 16 July 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-DavidLevinson-2005-07-16T11:46:00.000Z-Komencanto-2005-07-14T08:26:00.000Z"><span id="ooui-php-2" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-iconElement oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"icon":"share","label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-icon-share oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-DavidLevinson-2005-07-16T11:46:00.000Z-Komencanto-2005-07-14T08:26:00.000Z"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tobias_Conradi-2005-09-08T22:08:00.000Z-Komencanto-2005-07-14T08:26:00.000Z"></span>this is the worst category page I've ever seen. why don't you use "Portal:" for this?

Geography has been called "a bridge between <a href="/wiki/Natural_science" title="Natural science">natural science</a> and <a href="/wiki/Social_science" title="Social science">social science</a> disciplines." </p><p>Origins of many of the concepts in geography can be traced to Greek <a href="/wiki/Eratosthenes" title="Eratosthenes">Eratosthenes</a> of Cyrene, who may have coined the term "geographia" (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 276 BC</span> – c.<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 195/194 BC</span>). The first recorded use of the word <a href="/wiki/Geography_(Ptolemy)" title="Geography (Ptolemy)">γεωγραφία</a> was as the title of a book by Greek scholar <a href="/wiki/Claudius_Ptolemy" class="mw-redirect" title="Claudius Ptolemy">Claudius Ptolemy</a> (100 – 170 AD). This work created the so-called "Ptolemaic tradition" of geography, which included "Ptolemaic cartographic theory." However, the concepts of geography (such as <a href="/wiki/Cartography" title="Cartography">cartography</a>) date back to the earliest attempts to understand the world spatially, with the earliest example of an attempted world map dating to the 9th century BCE in ancient <a href="/wiki/Babylon" title="Babylon">Babylon</a>. The <a href="/wiki/History_of_geography" title="History of geography">history of geography</a> as a discipline spans cultures and millennia, being independently developed by multiple groups, and cross-pollinated by trade between these groups. The core concepts of geography consistent between all approaches are a focus on space, place, time, and scale. </p><p>Today, geography is an extremely broad discipline with multiple approaches and modalities. There have been multiple attempts to organize the discipline, including the four traditions of geography, and into branches.

The eruption lasted until 5 June 1967, when the island reached its maximum size of 2.7 km<sup>2</sup> (1.0 sq mi). Since then, wind and wave erosion have caused the island to steadily diminish in size: as of 2002, its surface area was 1.4 km<sup>2</sup> (0.54 sq mi). The new island was named after <i><a href="/wiki/Surtr" title="Surtr">Surtr</a></i>, a fire <i><a href="/wiki/J%C3%B6tunn" title="Jötunn">jötunn</a></i> or giant from <a href="/wiki/Norse_mythology" title="Norse mythology">Norse mythology</a>.

The undersea vents that produced Surtsey are part of the <i><a href="/wiki/Vestmannaeyjar" title="Vestmannaeyjar">Vestmannaeyjar</a></i> (Westmann Isles) submarine volcanic system, part of the fissure of the sea floor called the <a href="/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge" title="Mid-Atlantic Ridge">Mid-Atlantic Ridge</a>.

The eruption that created Surtsey also created a few other small islands along this volcanic chain, such as <i><a href="/wiki/J%C3%B3lnir" title="Jólnir">Jólnir</a></i> and other, unnamed peaks.

The Everglades is simultaneously a vast <a href="/wiki/Drainage_basin" title="Drainage basin">watershed</a> that has historically extended from <a href="/wiki/Lake_Okeechobee" title="Lake Okeechobee">Lake Okeechobee</a> 100 miles (160 km) south to <a href="/wiki/Florida_Bay" title="Florida Bay">Florida Bay</a> (around one-third of the southern Florida peninsula), and many interconnected ecosystems within a geographic boundary. It is such a unique meeting of water, land, and climate that the use of either singular or plural to refer to the Everglades is appropriate. When <a href="/wiki/Marjory_Stoneman_Douglas" title="Marjory Stoneman Douglas">Marjory Stoneman Douglas</a> wrote her definitive description of the region in 1947, she used the metaphor "River of Grass" to explain the blending of water and plant life. Although <a href="/wiki/Cladium" title="Cladium">sawgrass</a> and <a href="/wiki/Swamp" title="Swamp">sloughs</a> are the enduring geographical icons of the Everglades, other ecosystems are just as vital, and the borders marking them are subtle or nonexistent. Pinelands and tropical hardwood <a href="/wiki/Hammock_(ecology)" title="Hammock (ecology)">hammocks</a> are located throughout the sloughs; the trees, rooted in soil inches above the <a href="/wiki/Peat" title="Peat">peat</a>, <a href="/wiki/Marl" title="Marl">marl</a>, or water, support a variety of wildlife. The oldest and tallest trees are <a href="/wiki/Taxodium" title="Taxodium">cypresses</a>, whose roots are specially adapted to grow underwater for months at a time. The Big Cypress Swamp is well known for its 500-year-old cypresses, though cypress domes can appear throughout the Everglades. As the fresh water from Lake Okeechobee makes its way to Florida Bay, it meets salt water from the <a href="/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico" title="Gulf of Mexico">Gulf of Mexico</a>; <a href="/wiki/Mangrove" title="Mangrove">mangrove</a> forests grow in this transitional zone, providing nursery and nesting conditions for many species of birds, fish, and invertebrates. The marine environment of Florida Bay is also considered part of the Everglades because its sea grasses and aquatic life are attracted to the constant discharge of fresh water. <table class="noprint" width="100%" border="0" style="padding: 0; margin: 0; background-color:transparent"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="text-align:left;"><b><a href="/wiki/Portal:Geography/Featured_article" title="Portal:Geography/Featured article">More featured articles</a></b></div></td> <td> <div style="text-align:right;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:4px;"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Geography_and_ecology_of_the_Everglades" title="Geography and ecology of the Everglades">More...</a></b> </p> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <hr> <p><a href="/wiki/Portal:Geography/Featured_article/16" title="Portal:Geography/Featured article/16">Portal:Geography/Featured article/16</a><br> </p> <div style="float:left;margin-right:1em"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Hawai%27i.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Hawai%27i.jpg/120px-Hawai%27i.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="119" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="5304" data-file-height="5250"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 120px;height: 119px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Hawai%27i.jpg/120px-Hawai%27i.jpg" data-width="120" data-height="119" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Hawai%27i.jpg/180px-Hawai%27i.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Hawai%27i.jpg/240px-Hawai%27i.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a></span> </div><b><a href="/wiki/Mauna_Loa" title="Mauna Loa">Mauna Loa</a></b> is an <a href="/wiki/Volcano#Volcanic_activity" title="Volcano">active</a> <a href="/wiki/Shield_volcano" title="Shield volcano">shield volcano</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Hawaiian_Islands" title="Hawaiian Islands">Hawaiian Islands</a>, one of five <a href="/wiki/Volcano" title="Volcano">volcanoes</a> that form the <a href="/wiki/Hawaii_(island)" title="Hawaii (island)">Island of Hawaii</a>.

Its <a href="/wiki/Magma" title="Magma">magma</a> comes from a <a href="/wiki/Hotspot_(geology)" title="Hotspot (geology)">hotspot</a> in the Earth's <a href="/wiki/Mantle_(geology)" title="Mantle (geology)">mantle</a> far beneath the island that has been responsible for the creation of the <a href="/wiki/Hawaiian_Islands" title="Hawaiian Islands">Hawaiian Islands chain</a> for tens of million of years. The slow drift of the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Plate" class="mw-redirect" title="Pacific Plate">Pacific Plate</a> will eventually carry the volcano away from the hotspot, and the volcano will thus become extinct within 500,000 to one million years from now. The first recorded summiting of Mauna Loa was in <a href="/wiki/1794" title="1794">1794</a> by naturalist <a href="/wiki/Archibald_Menzies" title="Archibald Menzies">Archibald Menzies</a>, then-Lieutenant <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Baker_(captain)" class="mw-redirect" title="Joseph Baker (captain)">Joseph Baker</a>, and two others. Mauna Loa's most recent eruption occurred from March 24, 1984 to April 15, 1984. In view of the hazards it poses to population centers, Mauna Loa is part of the <a href="/wiki/Decade_Volcanoes" title="Decade Volcanoes">Decade Volcanoes</a> program, which encourages studies of the most dangerous volcanoes. Mauna Loa has been intensively monitored by the <a href="/wiki/Hawaiian_Volcano_Observatory" title="Hawaiian Volcano Observatory">Hawaiian Volcano Observatory</a> (HVO) since 1912. Observations of the <a href="/wiki/Atmosphere" title="Atmosphere">atmosphere</a> are undertaken at the <a href="/wiki/Mauna_Loa_Observatory" title="Mauna Loa Observatory">Mauna Loa Observatory</a>, and of the <a href="/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">Sun</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Mauna_Loa_Solar_Observatory" title="Mauna Loa Solar Observatory">Mauna Loa Solar Observatory</a>, both located near its summit. <table class="noprint" width="100%" border="0" style="padding: 0; margin: 0; background-color:transparent"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="text-align:left;"><b><a href="/wiki/Portal:Geography/Featured_article" title="Portal:Geography/Featured article">More featured articles</a></b></div></td> <td> <div style="text-align:right;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:4px;"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Mauna_Loa" title="Mauna Loa">More...</a></b> </p> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <hr> <p><a href="/wiki/Portal:Geography/Featured_article/17" title="Portal:Geography/Featured article/17">Portal:Geography/Featured article/17</a><br> </p> <div style="float:left;margin-right:1em"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Petrified Forest National Park"><noscript><img alt="Petrified Forest National Park" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg/120px-The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="71" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="4288" data-file-height="2536"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 120px;height: 71px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg/120px-The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg" data-alt="Petrified Forest National Park" data-width="120" data-height="71" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg/180px-The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg/240px-The_PEFO_Tepees.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a></span> </div><b><a href="/wiki/Petrified_Forest_National_Park" title="Petrified Forest National Park">Petrified Forest National Park</a></b> is a <a href="/wiki/List_of_national_parks_of_the_United_States" title="List of national parks of the United States">United States national park</a> in <a href="/wiki/Navajo_County,_Arizona" title="Navajo County, Arizona">Navajo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Apache_County,_Arizona" title="Apache County, Arizona">Apache</a> counties in northeastern <a href="/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona">Arizona</a>.

The site, the northern part of which extends into the <a href="/wiki/Painted_Desert,_Arizona" class="mw-redirect" title="Painted Desert, Arizona">Painted Desert</a>, was declared a <a href="/wiki/National_Monument_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="National Monument (United States)">national monument</a> in 1906 and a national park in 1962. About 600,000 people visit the park each year and take part in activities including sightseeing, photography, hiking, and <a href="/wiki/Backpacking_(wilderness)" class="mw-redirect" title="Backpacking (wilderness)">backpacking</a>. The park's earliest human inhabitants arrived at least 8,000 years ago. By about 2,000 years ago, they were growing corn in the area and shortly thereafter building <a href="/wiki/Dugout_(shelter)" title="Dugout (shelter)">pit houses</a> in what would become the park. Later inhabitants built above-ground dwellings called <a href="/wiki/Pueblo" title="Pueblo">pueblos</a>. Although a changing climate caused the last of the park's pueblos to be abandoned by about 1400 CE, more than 600 <a href="/wiki/Archeology" class="mw-redirect" title="Archeology">archeological</a> sites, including <a href="/wiki/Petroglyph" title="Petroglyph">petroglyphs</a>, have been discovered in the park. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers visited the area, and by the mid-19th century a U.S. team had surveyed an east–west route through the area where the park is now located and noted the petrified wood. Later roads and a railway followed similar routes and gave rise to tourism and, before the park was protected, to large-scale removal of fossils. Theft of petrified wood remains a problem in the 21st century. <table class="noprint" width="100%" border="0" style="padding: 0; margin: 0; background-color:transparent"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="text-align:left;"><b><a href="/wiki/Portal:Geography/Featured_article" title="Portal:Geography/Featured article">More featured articles</a></b></div></td> <td> <div style="text-align:right;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:4px;"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Petrified_Forest_National_Park" title="Petrified Forest National Park">More...</a></b> </p> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <hr> <p><a href="/wiki/Portal:Geography/Featured_article/18" title="Portal:Geography/Featured article/18">Portal:Geography/Featured article/18</a><br> </p> <div style="float:left;margin-right:1em"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Alanya"><noscript><img alt="Alanya" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg/120px-Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="79" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="678"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 120px;height: 79px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg/120px-Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg" data-alt="Alanya" data-width="120" data-height="79" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg/180px-Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg/240px-Alanya_harbor_boulevard.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a></span> </div><b><a href="/wiki/Alanya" title="Alanya">Alanya</a></b> is a seaside resort city and district of <a href="/wiki/Antalya_Province" title="Antalya Province">Antalya Province</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Region,_Turkey" class="mw-redirect" title="Mediterranean Region, Turkey">Mediterranean region of Turkey</a>, <span class="nowrap">120 km</span> (<span class="nowrap">75 miles</span>) from the city of <a href="/wiki/Antalya" title="Antalya">Antalya</a>.

The earliest known inhabitants of the island were the <a href="/wiki/Jola_people" title="Jola people">Jola people</a>, the ethnic group which is still the most populous on the island. On January 22, 1836, the island was ceded to France by the village leader of <a href="/wiki/Kagnout" title="Kagnout">Kagnout</a> in return for an annual payment of 196 francs. In 1869, Carabane became autonomous, but it merged with <a href="/wiki/S%C3%A9dhiou" title="Sédhiou">Sédhiou</a> in 1886. Since <span class="nowrap">World War II</span>, the population of the island has gradually declined for a variety of reasons including periods of drought, the <a href="/wiki/Casamance_Conflict" class="mw-redirect" title="Casamance Conflict">Casamance Conflict</a> and, more recently, the sinking of the <i><a href="/wiki/MV_Le_Joola" title="MV Le Joola">Joola</a></i> in 2002. Because the <i>Joola</i> was the primary means of travel to and from Carabane, much of the village's ability to trade and receive tourists has been lost. Although Carabane was once a regional capital, the village has since become so politically isolated from the rest of the country that it no longer fits into any category of the administrative structure decreed by the Senegalese government. Although there have been attempts to cultivate a tourism industry on the island, the inhabitants have been reluctant to participate. <table class="noprint" width="100%" border="0" style="padding: 0; margin: 0; background-color:transparent"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="text-align:left;"><b><a href="/wiki/Portal:Geography/Featured_article" title="Portal:Geography/Featured article">More featured articles</a></b></div></td> <td> <div style="text-align:right;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:4px;"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Carabane" title="Carabane">More...</a></b> </p> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <hr> <p><a href="/wiki/Portal:Geography/Featured_article/30" title="Portal:Geography/Featured article/30">Portal:Geography/Featured article/30</a><br> </p> <div style="float:left;margin-right:1em"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Caroline Island"><noscript><img alt="Caroline Island" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg/120px-NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg" decoding="async" width="120" height="180" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="2400"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 120px;height: 180px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg/120px-NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg" data-alt="Caroline Island" data-width="120" data-height="180" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg/180px-NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg/240px-NASA-CarolineAtoll.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a></span> </div><b><a href="/wiki/Caroline_Island" title="Caroline Island">Caroline Island</a></b> is the easternmost of the uninhabited <a href="/wiki/Coral" title="Coral">coral</a> <a href="/wiki/Atoll" title="Atoll">atolls</a> which comprise the southern <a href="/wiki/Line_Islands" title="Line Islands">Line Islands</a> in the central <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a>.
