Talk:Azure Window

Small rock over the water
The intro following the collapse contains the sentence "The small rock over the water is no longer accessible by walking." In fact the rock column that was connected by the arch also collapsed and is no longer even visible above the water. Is this sentence talking about a different rock or should it be removed?

Since nobody has clarified or objected, I've removed the sentence. As far as I am aware there is no "small rock over the water" that was previously accessible by walking but is not accessible by walking following the collapse. RichardW72 (talk) 09:07, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Please change the line that starts "In March 2017..." to "Following gale force winds on the night between 7th and 8th March, the Azure Window gave in to the corrosion.".... or something along those lines, to provide the exact details for future references. Mt0101 (talk) 14:39, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Link collapse sea state to the "Zeus" storm in France
It appears that the stormy weather around the time of collapse is related to the low pressure area which caused disruption in France 6-7 March as storm "Zeus", has anyone any knowledge of a source/ref which would support this? as otherwise far too original research for link.Lacunae (talk) 17:43, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

'Around' a certain time
the source says "he was at the Azure Window when it collapsed around 9.40am." Either get a reliable source that says that the arch collapsed at exactly 9.40 am or leave the 'around' there, thank you. --Deeday-UK (talk) 23:06, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Great. So all we need to do is actually put the source citation next to the sentence and we're done.  In fact, I'll do it for you.  Regards, GetSomeUtah (talk) 09:49, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Post-collapse photo
I agree, there should be a photo included of how the site currently looks.

However, it should NOT be just ANY photo. The photo should match a previous photo of how the site looked pre-collapse.

For example, check out the entry on New Hampshire's "Old Man of the Mountain."

It has an overlay photo that shows/combines pre- and post-collapse.

I think such a 'matched' photo will emphasize what was lost where just any photo of the post-collapse would look like just about ANY seaside cliff picture.

But, yes, there should be a current pic included. 2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 15:00, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
