Talk:Luray Caverns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] 1911

A lot of the content in this article comes from the 1911 Britannica article, some of which is very dated. The best thing would be for a geologist or speleologist to edit it. In the meantime I will tag it as a 1911 Britannica article needing revision and as I can make some revisions. Addendum: Is there a way to tag it that doesn't indicate that the neutrality is challenged? This material is just dated, not really prejudiced. --Markkidd 02:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, you've got {{1911}} in there at the bottom, which is your notation that it's from the public-domain 1911 Britannica. As far as properly tagging it, lemme play with that... SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:38, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I've added {{Expert}} and {{update}} to the top of the article to replace that 1911 POV tag. I think that ought to get it the right attention that it needs. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I have reversed one of the recent changes made by 68.65.166.139 that refers to the Organ and the Elfin Ramble. I am a little bit apprehensive about some of the other changes, which I think more reflect changes in nomenclature and emphasis on the tours than accuracy. Both the Organ and the Elfin Ramble were/are well-established formations dating back at least to the turn of the century. The book The Discovery of Luray Caverns includes information about these and some of the other formations as described in the 1911 Britannica article from which this one is sourced. Tricky. --Markkidd 06:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
