thread_title: Loe Pool markers

message: Once again (on 8 May 2014) I have removed a citation, this time from The Fortunate Islands i.e. The Isles of Scilly, about a "mythical inundation". My copy of that book does not give any information on an inundation in Mount's Bay (on page 36 or any other page that I can see). There are no records of a harbour at Helston because the bar was already there in historical times. The fact that there are mooring rings is not proof of a harbour, boats can be moored on lakes. Geologists and geomorphologists only commit to sometime after the last ice age and do not give a specific date in the 11th century. Jowaninpensans (talk) 17:14, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: The removal was a mistake on my part. I meant to remove some of the ridiculous material you have put on the page recently, i.e. A mediaeval map of Mount's Bay depicts only one arm of the sea entering the bay.[clarification needed]The Cober flowed under the Bar, but there is no proven evidence for its formation before the 13th century. The 2013 investigations show a chart of a cross-section of part of Loe Bar being sand and silt, upon layers of peat from the remains of the ancient forest, that once covered Mount's Bay.

replies: text: I am sorry to have to state this, but your last comment is your opinion; and those how know most about Helston and the Bar formation would confirm that what you deleted leaves the article in its true light for readers, completing the necessary changes.  If you had removed the last sentence I would have considered it a complete insult to Mr. Neil Wood, who is the most trustworthy source for this information.  Please forgive my strong language, but I believe that you along with oneself desire to leave the site in its most accurate form; and this is what you have done! I have to mention this as I do not want to lose respect for you, but that would have been the effect with others if you had deleted what you intended to do.  Helstonians are not easily caught out when it comes to aspects that are established.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Werdna Yrneh Yarg (talk • contribs) 00:20, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Opinion!
* A mediaeval map of Mount's Bay depicts only one arm of the sea entering the bay.  Does not make sense in my opinion!  And mediaeval maps are not renown for accuracy!
* The Cober flowed under the Bar, but there is no proven evidence for its formation before the 13th century.  What is your evidence for the Cober flowing under the bar? The outflow is through the adit and through the Bar, not a river under it!  There no evidence for its formation after the 13th century either. The only person who seems to put a date on it is Werdna Yrneh Yarg!
* The 2013 investigations show a chart of a cross-section of part of Loe Bar being sand and silt, upon layers of peat from the remains of the ancient forest, that once covered Mount's Bay. What investigations and by whom? What were the methods? How have they proven that the peat is the remains of ancient forest? Was the investigations approved by the relevant managers of the land? This information should be published in a reputable journal. Anyone with an agenda can write a dvd or website!
Furthermore Toy's model for the formation of Loe Bar is disregarded by those who study landforms i.e. geologists and geomorphologist. Toy's work is out-of-date!
If you have anymore to add, please position it below what I have written, not in amongst the above – as per wikipedia convention! Jowaninpensans (talk) 08:49, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Loe 

message: Below, in italics, was written by User:Werdna Yrneh Yarg.
The 2013 investigations show a chart of a cross-section of part of the valley between Loe Bar and Helston as being built from 25 feet of silt upon 7 feet of sand, above layers of peat from the remains of vegetation or of the ancient forest, that once covered Mount's Bay.
I have a number of issues with these investigations.
#  Who is the author?
#  The title of the written report?
#  Were they authorised by the National Trust?
#  The url on the Penrose estate blog?
#  What is the evidence for the peat to be formed from ancient woodland? 
For clarity and following wikipedia protocol please write your answers below and not amongst what I have written! Jowaninpensans (talk) 13:01, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
