Isotope names and symbols
Naming_conventions says that isotope names are to be in oxygen-18 form, but sets no policy on symbols. I've inquired at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Isotopes; both O-18 and 18O are common on WP, but I can't make out if there is any system. In any case, for our purposes here, I think we should use the names, not the symbols, since the names will likely be easier for the non-expert to grasp. In any case, I think it is important to be clear that it is the oxygen-18 to oxygen-16 ratio that is correlated with temperature. It is a great start to the article and very interesting to me.

 * Well, this along with a dozen other glaciers that have been undergoing similar studies would be very in depth. I consider this a stub and there is always room to grow. Thanks for the Isotope clarification...that is something I spent an hour trying to rewrite, since I don't like to quote verbatim and I know little about that subject matter.--MONGO 19:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Coordinates
There was an edit changing the previous coordinates to a more precise set but removing the source, the edit summary being Quite a number of other scientific articles have the coords as 13°56'S, 70°50′W, so taking the intermediate point here.. I've reverted the edit as it was unsourced but also because it seems like that, Quelccaya having an areal extent rather than simply being a spot, we probably don't want more precise coordinates. At the same time I am not sure how to assign priority in such cases; anyone? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:37, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

 * : Not sure if the etymology also refers to Quelccaya.
 * : Might be a reliable source for measurement errors.

Toponyms
This source has some toponyms for the ice features. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:00, 7 December 2023 (UTC) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:00, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
