Talk:Granite outcrops of Western Australia

message: Listing Mt Augustus under "Granite outcrops of Western Australia" is drawing a rather long bow. There is some granite and related rock types there, cropping out near the northern end, which, if I remember correctly, can be seen in a place called "The Pound", but the majority of Mt Augustus is composed of sandstone and conglomerate. Incidentally, this granite area would have to somehow be excluded from being part of Mt Augustus itself by anyone wishing to push the rather dubious claim to Mt Augustus being a monolith (biggest or otherwise). -Zamphuor 04:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds reasonable to me. This should be restricted to genuine granite monadnocks; otherwise we'll end up with every hill with a bit of granite to it. By all means remove it. Hesperian 04:30, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Remove Mt Augustus?

message: Oi.  We already have a A list with every hill with a bit of granite in it.  Is this article really necessary? Moondyne 10:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: P'raps we could move text here into above article.  At the mom it seems to have no scope. Moondyne 13:57, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

text: It is an annoying article as the potential scope is quite brilliant if the right texts are found and cited and properly placed - rare plants rare animals and rare ecosystems plonked irregularly in odd places between here and the goldfields - I would pass on adding myself at the mo as its a mess and for the like of me the most likely helpful ref escapes me - either the subject the author or the title - (it might be a small publication from hesperian press - I saw it last month in the state ref librarybookshop)SatuSuro 14:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Currently the article doesn't seem to have any inclusion criteria.  Needs something by geo-location, size or some other measure.  Why is only wheat belt listed?  Is this all wheatbelt outcrops or just selected?  what is the significance of some items being indented?  the coords are too innacurate to be useful.  I don't see an issue with a lack of refs, or that adding more will fix the problem.  Is there a published list of "genuine granite monadnocks"?  Moondyne 14:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge?

message: Hell i hate losing material via edit conflicts. tryng again: -
Very good points made - and the refs i have found (not in hand but by sheer chance found...)  *http://www.hesperianpress.com/booklist/title_information/cchunt.htm
*http://henrietta.liswa.wa.gov.au/search/X?SEARCH=granite+outcrops&searchscope=1&Da=&Db=&p=&SORT=D
would indeed help to confine it to 4 sections if made into a good art - 
* darling scarp, fits into hussye refs well
* wheatbelt and goldfields, fits into hunt ref well  
* southern regions - relates to bayley ref
indenting was a mess from wayback and has no meaning - and the coords and names havent been checked against the big list. SatuSuro 14:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
