Talk:8.2 kiloyear event
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Too much of this thing is unreferenced, or referenced to dubious sources (popular books) William M. Connolley 12:14, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal
The article Younger Dryas describes the same event better. Some of this text might be transferred there and then a #REDIRECT. Gabriel Kielland (talk) 21:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Don't merge
Incorrect! the Younger Dryas and the 8.2 kiloyear event were completely separate phenomena, 3000+ years apart. The Wikipedia entry on the Younger Dryas says nothing about the 8.2 kiloyear event.Ugajin (talk) 03:04, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Ditto above, these are two different climatic fluctuations during the Holocene. I've added a couple of references of the top of my head to the article, in due course when I have more spare time I shall proceed to tidy up the article and add better references.

- May we delete the merge proposal, since it was suggested in error?--Wetman (talk) 22:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Other names
The 8.2 kiloyear event (also known as Misox oscillation or Bond event 5) seems odd to me. Misox osc is barely known [1] and certainly doesn't deserve to be bold. Ditto Bond event 5. These are so non-notable hat I don't think they deserve to be mentionned to prominently William M. Connolley (talk) 21:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't notice you comment. But I changed it anyway. —Bender235 (talk) 10:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 6th or 7th millenium...?
If my calculation is correct then 7th millenium is in fact correct. BP is years before 1950 when calculating. So 8200 BP becomes 6250 BC - which is the 7th millenia (1BC-999BC is first). Did i miscalculate? --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 23:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
