Talk:Oldest Dryas

[Untitled]
The section on Late Pleistocene sequence actually says a lot more about the Older Dryas than the Oldest Dryas, and I would propose moving this section to the Older Dryas article. Myopic Bookworm 09:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Why using ages in "BC"? BC for Late Glacial time is strange. "end of the Oldest Dryas at about 12,700 BC calibrated." This should be 14,700 BP. And now the rest is logical "The same date from Antarctica and the south China sea is 14,600 and 14,700, respectively, while a Greenland ice core indicates 14,500" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.178.16.51 (talk) 17:38, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of section
The reference you have deleted is a scholarly work by a leading authority, the former Chief Archaeologist at English Heritage. It should not be deleted. It is the only reference for the whole article after the lead, but you have only deleted the dating section. The correct procedure in this case is to delete the statements you know are incorrect, add citations if you can and add  tags to the rest, not indiscriminately delete the whole section.

 * RE: "The correct procedure in this case..." You are entirely wrong. I already linked to the core content policy WP:UNSOURCED; I suggest reading it. Particularly these sentences:
 * The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material.
 * Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source.
 * There has been a citations template at the top of the article for three years; adding further inline tags is not what is called for.
 * With regards to the Miles citation: he may be a good archaeologist. But this article concerns a subject spanning palaeoclimatology and palaeontology, an entirely different field in which he does not have expertise. The 7 citations added to the lead regarding dating, which differ from Miles, give the peer-reviewed positions of around 30 experts in those fields. Cambial Yellowing❧ 22:59, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
