Talk:Copperbelt

'Copperbelt' should be one word
The normal spelling is one word, whether referring to the name of the province specifically or to the mining area in general. You never see it as two words in the Copperbelt towns. Google searches throw up 4 times as many pages for 'Copperbelt' as 'Copper Belt' and most of the latter pages refer to belts made of copper or copper mining areas in Vermont and Arizona. I tried to rename the page to 'Copperbelt' but someone has already redirected a page of that name to this one and I can't do it. Can an administrator please change it and get rid of "Copper Belt" which does not apply to Zambia.Rexparry sydney 07:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)    < >

Copperbelt is also congolese
The geological copperbelt includes most of the time the katangien part too, even if the production in DRCongo is far lower than Zambia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AxKo (talk • contribs) 14:51, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Why the spurious accuracy in the coordinates?
The copperbelt is, I am led to believe, big. Really big. So why the need to specify its coordinates to five decimal places? That implies an accuracy of 1.1m, and I know it's bigger than that ...

I've also taken the liberty of removing the final comment after the first talk topic: any Wikipedian who thinks that 'f*ck u' is an appropriate response to a serious discussion should be banned from editing. --Wally Tharg (talk) 23:45, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Seems like Copperbelt and Katanga Supergroup cover roughly the same topic. The former is more colloquial, the latter more technical geological terminology, but I think both could be best handled in the same article. &#12296; Forbes72 &#124; Talk &#12297; 09:24, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
