Talk:Fata Morgana (mirage)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I found an image of a better fata morgana which was spotted at the city called Penglay at the eastcoast of China. I didn't upload it because I am unsure about the license, the website I took it from generally shows only the pictures it is allowed to do so or removes them otherwise so it should be ok... http://images.fok.nl/upload/060512_13804_xin_020503080948501284395.jpg

[edit] Entymology section

I am deleting this section, not out of ignorance as the re-poster suggests, but on account of standards and practices. The English used is confusing and difficult to parse even for a person who speaks with non-native English speakers on a regular basis. And the citations for what appears to be the assertion made in this section are inaccessible as well. Lastly, a Google search for "fata morgana" coral beads yielded no further elucidation on the point.

I will post this comment to the talk page of the person who re-authored the section. I will also ask them to be more clear in their use of language and more precise in their citation before reposting the section. Erielhonan 04:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Is the effect under the rocks on the left of this photo an example of Fata Morgana? If so I think it'd make a better image for the article62.31.12.18 16:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

  • It is not fata morgana. It is not a mirage at all.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
