Talk:Cumberland Plateau

message: *Portions of the Allegheny Plateau illogically not included in the Cumberland are those along the same latitudes of the parts of West Virginia in Ohio, thus the term is imprecise and conventional vice totally formal and well defined—as is further evidenced by inclusion of West Virginia by both terms.
:Does anyone know what this is supposed to mean?  The word illogically as used here seems critical and not neutral. -Crunchy Numbers 20:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  And "..conventional vice formal.." -- had to think about that for a while before realizing it should be "versus", I think.  The idea, I think, is that the "Cumberland Plateau" is not objectively different from the "Allegheny Plateau" and line dividing them is informal and based on popular usage rather than some obvious geological feature.  I'll see if I can change it to say something to that effect. Pfly 00:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Looks much, much better. What does it mean for a river to dominate a region? It seems like what you are trying to say is it is related to the region or it is the watershed area or drainage basin of the river.-Crunchy Numbers 03:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh, I don't know.. couldn't think of a better word.  Tried "centered on", but that's not really true.  I guess I was just trying to say the rivers were relatively large and historically important.. but there are other rivers and watersheds in each region.  I might say the plateaus were named for the rivers, but I don't know if that's true.  So... "related to the region", somehow! Pfly 04:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I did a little copyediting, putting the text into a couple more sections, and moved the unreferenced tag to the Geology section, as it seems to be the only part that it applies to.  The rest of the article, as far as I can see, can be verified by the existing references links or by looking at any decent map. Myself, I don't know much about geology and wouldn't know how to reference the geologic claims. Pfly 21:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "It includes much of eastern Kentucky and western West Virginia, part of Tennessee, and a small portion of northern Alabama and northwest Georgia..."
The map appearing right next to this sentence shows NONE of the Cumberland Plateau in West Virginia. I don't know if the map or the above sentence is correct, but clearly they shouldn't contradict each other so flatly! GeneCallahan (talk) 20:16, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you, so I took the mention of West Virginia out of the article. --Orlady (talk) 02:21, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

message: When editing this article, I included different, outside resources that were credible and had a lot of information in them. I also added more information that had to deal with the rivers that make up the plateau and also the water systems that are included in the plateau. Finally, I added more information about the different slopes and formations of the bedrock that has changed the landscape of the Cumberland Plateau over the last millennium. --Lowderea (talk) 19:16, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
