VERY Dubious statement about Central Park

Given that Central Park is very much manmade, the unsourced statement about it is incredibly dubious. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | ^{Say Shalom!} 15 Tishrei 5772 03:41, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

The southern part of Central Park - just south of the 65th Street Transversal, and west of the Wollman ice rink, and just west of the Hecksher Playground - has many large exposed outcrops of Manhattan schist bedrock that show huge grooves carved by ice during the Laurentide Glaciation, which peaked in the New York area about 15-20,000 years ago. This is a very well-known aspect of the park, and is familiar to anyone with even a passing interest in the natural history and geology of the area. It's true that much of the Central Park landscape was modified in the creation of the park, but that did not change the basic geology of the Central Park area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.196.78 (talk) 15:13, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Wisconsinan glaciation → Wisconsin glaciation – The name of this page is misspelled. Nowhere have I seen something called the "Wisconsinan" glaciation. It should be called "Wisconsin glaciation." There is, however, already a page with that name which redirects to the misspelled page. Hennies (talk) 01:52, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

You seemed to have messed up on the new article's name. Biglulu (talk) 08:19, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose as incompetent move request. Maybe the present title is a bad one, but a new title should have been discussed. Maybe it should be moved to Wisconsin glaciation (qualifier) or maybe the 2 article should be merged. PatGallacher (talk) 11:33, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I did discuss a new title: "Wisconsin glaciation." I also mentioned that there is already a page with that title that redirects to the misspelled one. If the page should not be moved but merged instead, that would be just fine. Hennies (talk) 23:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

It's okay to specify an extant page as a move _target; especially with a title that redirects here, the closing admin can easily delete the existing page before moving. PatGallacher, I think "incompetent" is a little strong, don't you? 14:01, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

• Support; I've never heard this used with the adjectival form. Powers ^T 14:01, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Removed "Co2 glacial cycles 800k" Graph

I removed the "Co2 glacial cycles 800k" graph from the Wisconsin glaciation article because it uses stratigraphic nomenclature that is hopelessly antiquated and obsolete. As a result, it is quite meaningless. The problems with this graph are discussed in the talk section for the Co2 glacial cycles 800k figure. Before this figure can be used, it needs to be revised to remove the discredited stratigraphic terminology and have it replaced with the correct stratigraphic terminology. Paul H.

Weichsel glaciation

Sorry but why the redirect?? This is about the North American glaciation while the Weichsel glaciation is an European one and there is NOT a trace about it in the article. A1979s (talk) 23:04, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Chronology

There have been a lot of advances in the understanding of the chronology of the Wisconsin glaciation. Can the people writing this not find more up to date references than something from 1913? What about the extensive work by Art Dyke? 134.1.1.2 (talk) 15:24, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

The article needs a better picture

I do not see the added value of this picture of the maximum extent of worldwide glaciation in an article of the last glaciation in North-America. The last glaciation has not been the biggest, so is of no use to this article, I'm sure that are excellent maps of the extent of the Wisconsin Glaciation, so why not use these here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codiv (talk • contribs) 04:19, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
