Talk:Geology of the Bryce Canyon area

spelling?

Is "ampitheatures" a typo? Google give two hits, one of which is this article. Markalexander100 05:22, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yep. I fixed it. Thanks for the note. --mav 05:49, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Colorado Plateau(s)?

I believe the correct usage is "Colorado Plateau", not "Colorado Plateaus" as in the article, as it is one geographic feature. Anyone have examples of usage to the contrary? Gwimpey 17:06, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

As our Colorado Plateau article states, that North American province is composed of many plateaus. This is also the usage I found in the main reference work for this article, Geology of National Parks. But yes, common usage does prefer the singular and that is why I located the article on the subject at the singular title. But the common usage is strictly not correct and gives an incorrect image about what the region actually is. So there is no reason why we should be incorrect in the dispayed body text and section titles. --mav 03:04, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Automated Review

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• If there is not a free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.^[?]
• There may be an applicable infobox for this article. For example, see Template:Infobox Biography, Template:Infobox School, or Template:Infobox City.^[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 4 feet, use 4 feet, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 4 feet.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), when doing conversions, please use standard abbreviations: for example, miles -> mi, kilometers squared -> km², and pounds -> lb.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.^[?]
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
• The script has spotted the following contractions: didn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]

FA concerns

I have reviewed this article as part of WP:URFA/2020 and I am concerned that it does not meet the featured article criteria anymore. I am concerned about multiple unsourced paragraphs (including the whole "Grand Staircase" section) and that none of the sources are pre-2007. Is anyone interested in fixing up this article?

Claron Formation vs. Wasatch Formation

The statement that the Claron Formation was once named the Wasatch Formation seems off. The summaries at GEOLEX indicate that the Wasatch Formation is still a valid formation across the Colorado Plateau, and that the Claron Formation correlates with the Wasatch Formation. --Kent G.
