Talk:Manicouagan Reservoir

message: I'm curious what the ecological and physical outcomes of this impact was.  Is there an extinction of species attributed to this?  How long was the atmosphere disrupted?    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.24.84.136 (talk) 13:19, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

You may want to review your http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manicouagan_Reservoir. text. The Impact 212+/-2mya does coincide with the Trassic terminator date 213mya.
Dang. This thing DOES look like Strong Sad. UndeniablyJordan 03:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Most impact craters have their own articles. But while this is one of the larger impact craters on Earth, its article is tacked onto the reservoir article, which is important in itself. I'm giving notice that I intend to separate into two linked articles, in the process beefing up the impact article with more references. --Zamphuor 15:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I was disappointed that there wasn't any hint how to pronounce "Manicouagan", and that I had to go to http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/manicouagan to find something.  Maybe this could be added?  (Otherwise, good job with the article.)DavidHobby (talk) 02:55, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm curious about the original size and shape of this lake.  Was the Daniel-Johnson dam the first human damming of this lake?  Did the lake exist before, or was it a series of lakes?  --Neurogeek (talk) 17:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Judging on #Split articles? above, Manicouagan crater was split from here back in 2007 by , but I don't think it was necessary, because the crater and the reservoir are largely coterminous, and readers would be better served by a single article. The crater article does not seem to contain much more information beyond what is found here (mostly the "Hypothetical multiple impact event" section that could be gracefully merged here), and just being a large and important crater does not require having a separate article. By quick perusing of , most impact crater articles are either at "X Lake" or "X Crater", but are not split like this one. No such user (talk) 14:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
