Talk:Anoxic event

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is pointless to make a new article on an existing subject. I'll have to review to remove redundant material and/or merge. This article is destined to become (at most) a redirect page unless you can justify how it differs from Oxygen depletion and Dead zone (ecology). - Marshman 04:26, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

OK. I see you are attempting to describe events in the geologic past. Maybe with some better text, this artricle would be justified as separate from the others I mention - Marshman 18:33, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mechanism

This section is needlessly wordy and very hard to follow. This encyclopedia is written for laymen, not for scientists. I would rewrite this section myself, except I couldn't understand it. For a good example of a well-written description of an Anoxic event, see the October 2006 Scientific American. I'm not suggesting that anybody copy from that article, but its terminology is much easier to understand. -- MiguelMunoz 07:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chemical symbols

Removed most of the chemical symbols/equations for increased readability/understandability. So as opposed to referring just to H₂S or O₂ it now refers to the substance itself. -- Chris Lewins 18:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
