Atacama Desert
First of all, sorry if this is not the place, but I've never seen a user's talk page like this one.

Second, I noticed you deleted the information stating that the McMurdo Dry Valleys are the driest place on Earth, claiming it is not necessary for the article. I just reverted this edition.

While in most cases, this kind of info, would indeed be irrelavant, it does not apply to this particular case. The reason is that there is a missconception in the conventional wisdom that the Atacama desert would be the driest place on Earth. In fact, for a long time the Wikipedia page (despite several complaints in the Talk page that no one took the time to implement) stated that the Atacama Desert would indeed be the driest place on Earth. Even, if you google "driest place on earth", Google will take you to the wikipedia page of the Atacama Desert. Therefore, in this specific case, given the problem with the coventional wisdom, I deem the information to be highly relevant. SFBB (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
