Older talk at Talk:Basin and range

I removed the Idaho msg, because only a small portion of the Basin and Range Province lies in Idaho. The probability that a reader would want to look for Boise (for example) is very low.– hike395 04:06, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Overhaul

This article needs major reworking. Among the edits just made, I removed plagiarized material taken from the USGS article. Tmangray (talk) 01:18, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One of the refs did say it was adapted from the USGS site, though, clearly, not much adapted. USGS material can be copied without attribution legally, though of course that is contrary to Wikipedia spirit. Cheers, and thanks for your improvements here.

Volcanism section

I feel that the new volcanism section is unbalancing the article. I think that there certainly should be a volcanism section, but at the moment it's mainly a list of volcanic eruptions, concentrating on their estimated erupted volumes. I'm sure that there is a place for this material but I'm not convinced that this article is that place. Any other views on this? Mikenorton (talk) 18:00, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, sorry about that, did not know it would get so long. I'll do it until Sunday. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 18:17, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Chris, now I'm left thinking that the volcanism section is a little light, some people are just never satisfied are they. Mikenorton (talk) 09:25, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
