Improving Mindat.orgduplicate locality

23rd Feb 2018 21:10 UTCNorman King 🌟 Expert

I think I uploaded a duplicate locality with partial difference in locality information, but added new information about that presumed same locality. How can I merge my information with the old? Or can you just delete what I sent, and I will recheck the locality and work on adding the new information to the existing locality? It is Morro do Felipe Mine (listed previously as Felipe Mine, but in a different Municipality), Amapá State, Brazil).

Yeah, I misplaced the boundary line between adjacent municipalities, and the locality is already in the database. I can improve the information about the name of the deposit, and add minerals and a bit of geology related to its origin. Throw out my new sublocality upload for Morro do Felipe Mine in Laranjal do Jari Municipality of Amapá State. Thanks. Silly me.

One (or two) more things. I have seen this mine referred to as Felipe Mine and Morro do Felipe Mine. I used simply "Morro do Felipe Mine" in Vitória do Jari Municipality, with citation for justifying that terminology (Montes et al., 2002).

I must have put my edits into loc-30969, which now has all the information I have. Another locality, however, is loc-28495, which has only one mineral reported (should be six), and states "No description has been added for this locality. Can you add one?" Its locality seems to be the same locality as for loc-30969. I think those are the same, and one (loc-28495) should be eliminated.

Also, oddly, I cannot locate a city by the same name as the municipality, so there seems to be no nominated "cidade" for the municipality. The icon for the locality of Vitória do Jari is in the middle of a rain forest where there are no near-by signs of human development or habitation. Please use the coordinates for the mine that I provided for the locality.

Thank you!

I tweaked it all I could, and had noticed that things were looking much better. I thought there was some invisible, more knowledgeable hand at work. Thanks for checking it out. Maybe some day I won't need the training wheels.
