Coast line evolution
This comment was originally on North Sea talk page GA review. and moved here for reference.


 * Done the bit on evolution of North Sea as body of water. I've kept it short and simple, as going back further in time creates complications: coastlines were nothing at all like modern ones; relevant landmasses were in different places, mostly further south (S of the equator in the Devonian, equatorial in Carboniferous, which is why USA, UK and Central Europe have coal). I've titled the sub-section "History of the coastlines" for now, and put it under "Geology". If that title survives, it might be good to put your content about more recent changes there as well (Rye-Winchelsea, Jutland, Denmark), as that title fits it and it would make the point that coastlines are still changing. --Philcha (talk) 17:21, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ Thank you enormously to you Pilcha and to Woodwalker for the contributions made to the changing coastlines/geology section.  The citations have also been added to this section.SriMesh |  talk  02:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)  The content about Rye-Winchelsea and Jutland are referred to from the changing coastlines section.  The changing coastlines sections covered many milleniums of years, and the items about Rye-Winchelsea and Jutland are very specific dated events which fit into the storms section a bit better as those are dated as well.

 * Changing coastlines and their significance. E.g. Rye, East Sussex was a Cinque Port but is now a few miles inland (I'm just using Rye as an example; but its top 2 pics make the point in different ways).
 * I found this item with a citation ... The northernmost part of Jutland is separated by the Limfjord from the mainland, but is still commonly reckoned as part of the peninsula. It only became an island following a flood in 1825.Jutland Peninsula: North SeaSriMesh | talk  01:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * This article The Physical Geography of Western Europe By Eduard A. Koster has information on the coastline as per geography, but doesn't say much about changes, just really does a description.  In the last paragraph it does say how the Holocene affected the Danish coastline.SriMesh |  talk  20:13, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice finds, so Rye and N Jutland make a balanced pair! Go for it. --Philcha (talk) 22:25, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * OK SriMesh |  talk  01:27, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ Added coastal changes to existing sections: added Rye-Winchelsea and Jutland to the Storm tides section.  Added Denmark coast to the Geological history section.  Kind Regards SriMesh |  talk  02:17, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Coasts (intor paras)
One of the best sections in this version, covers the topic clearly but concisely. --Philcha (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Woo hoo !!!! :-)  SriMesh |  talk  00:45, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Northern fjords, skerries, and cliffs

 * I think this is too much detail, given the length of the article. You should copy it to a sub-page or the Talk page, and then remove it. --Philcha (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Southern shoals and mudflats

 * I think this is also too much detail. You should copy it to a sub-page or the Talk page, and then remove it. --Philcha (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Missing
This is a decent start, but not even mentioning Orkney and Shetland is a shade remiss. Ben  Mac  Dui  12:35, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
