[edit] Shoulders

The page has several references to valley 'shoulders', but the meaning of the phrase is not clear. 4.246.247.13 (talk) 02:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project

hi im doing a project on glaciers and valleys at school, and we've got to find out what a hanging valley is, i wonder if you could be any help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Yes, firstly, always sign your contributions to the Talk pages of Wikipedia. Secondly always look for the correctly-named article, for example Hanging valley. You can find this using the search facility. Work from there, as you would from an encyclopaedia. If that article is inadequate, then comment on its Talk page Talk:Hanging valley.

[edit] Article

I'm not sure what happened to this article. I looked at the history and am a bit confused. I can't quite tell if tell if the Bot deleted the article, or a vandal did. I'm going to go recheck, I guess, unless someone can explain it to me -stupid moment-. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.210.3.31 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Rewrite and merger

I merged in 'U-shaped valley' and 'V-shaped valley to this article. All 3 were poorly written, and very repetitive between and within themselves. I also merged 'Hanging valley' as it was only one paragraph. Much of the merged material was rewritten; I kept all relevant information.

Also, 'valley shoulder' was redirected here, as it only duplicated paragraphs of the others. The way, the truth, and the light 00:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure I agree with the mergers...but it is probably no big deal. Did you clean up all the redirects?--MONGO 03:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I think U-shaped valley should be returned...it is a feature of glaciology that probably needs it's own article and only a summary on the Valley article itself. I counted [1] two now double redirects and dozens of others that probably should link to U-shaped valley.--MONGO 03:24, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

There wasn't enough distinct information in U-shaped valley to justify that. If someone wants to write a decent, sourced article on U-shaped/glacial valleys, that would justify splitting it again.

Also, I thought bots cleaned up all the redirects. That's why I haven't been doing it. The way, the truth, and the light 03:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if bots do that or not...maybe sometimes. I'll see if I can come up with more details and create a more substantial article about U-shaped valleys...I haven't checked the times V-shaped valley is used in various articles...but more often than not, V-shaped valley is used less than simply valley...many valley's with a distinct V-shape are more commonly called a gorge or canyon.--MONGO 03:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Valley Floor

The entry on valley floor cuts in with a discussion of villages part way through without any context. I'm not sure how to fix this other than a delete. KalevTait (talk) 18:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
