August 2008[edit]

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to BioShock. Thank you. triwbe (talk) 08:22, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dyke/Dike[edit]

Both of these spellings are commonly used for small discordant intrusions. 'Dike' is used in the USA, while 'dyke' is used in most of the rest of the english-speaking world. Try googling on 'dike geology' versus 'dyke geology' and you'll see what I mean. The rule is normally that whoever originally starts an article, sets the spelling. In the case of Rhyolite, the original spelling was 'dike', so your edit was correct (it got changed about a year ago). I'm just telling you this so that you don't change all 'dykes' to 'dikes' in geology articles, such as Sheeted dyke complex (note the link to Dike swarm in the See also section, as that's how that one started out). It may not seem very consistent but both 'dike' and 'dyke' refer back to the same dab page and 'dyke (geology)' redirects to 'dike (geology)' so it really isn't a problem IMHO.
