[edit] Suggested move

I think most people refer to it just as the Moreno Glacier and I think the article should be moved to that title. What does anyone else think? Worldtraveller 00:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Argentinians at least call it el Perito Moreno, but I don't know about international usage. I don't think the article should be moved. It's not a specially complicated or over-long name. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 02:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
I've only heard of this glacier referred to as Perito Moreno, in both English and Spanish. Other encyclopedias also refer to the glacier under this name; I see no reason to move. -- IlyaHaykinson 06:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] March 2006 rupture

I note that an anon contributor changed the article to note that there was a rupture in March 2006. While the same contributor also changed the Spanish language article, I couldn't find any sources for this. I don't really have any reason to doubt the authenticity of the event, but I urge any readers to find sources and add a reference to the article. -- IlyaHaykinson 06:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Found and added. -- IlyaHaykinson 20:29, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
