I have another question - why "New articles" section is not moderated? In this way it will soon turn in a sort of a forum or will be same as "New blogs" strip, where most post are not worth reading. I thought, that the "Articles" section was planned to be a selection of quality, premoderated articles and reports.

Hi Pavel! I didn't talk about the "New Articles" section, but I did about the "Mindat News" section. I was a little surprised not to read anything new from this section. A sort of Forum? Why not? It is always interesting to read somthing from everybody of us all around the world!

Pavel, why does the "New articles" section needs a moderator? If you have a mineral related article that could be interesting for others, then post it. And everyone else who reads the article could leave a comment if they want. Its that easy.

Riccardo, your are right that there is not much "Mindat News" the last months, but instead of writing a full article with only one sentence about it, jou better post your request for more Mindat news on the messageboard.

Best regards to both of you, Mario
