Talk:Bay mud

message: This article needs cleanup. It's not well-organized, and is too focused on the issue of environmental regulations affecting development on Bay Mud, to the exclusion of the geotechnical engineering issues, and even the actual environmental issues. There's no acknolwlegement that Bay Mud is frequently found beneath layers of fill, and that Old Bay Mud is frequently found under alluvial layers. It's also too Bay Area-centric - does the Qobm/Qybm distinction exist elsewhere? Argyriou 17:43, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: More worldwide info

message: This article should be either strictly the first section, or should be more inclusive of information needed to fully understand bay mud, mudflats, engineering, policy,  etc. When broadening the scope of information and not fully explaining the added aspects, one can become rather confused on the goal of the article. Adding new focuses that aren't fully explained, besides Bay Mud, can lead to an individual believing that they are fully informed on a subject when they are not.

:please sign postings if you are serious about improving this article.  i have added text to the article to note the alluvial and fill comments above.  as far as the Bay Area centric issue, ive done a lot of researching and havent found much except for the material ive included on UK and east coast.  i think the problem here is (as stated in the article) bay mud was not studied extensively until substantial buildings started to encroach into marginal areas like bay perimeters where (a) bay muds exist and (b) a vigourous regulatory framework exists.  Guess where the confluence of (a) and (b) is? yes the SF Bay area.  i would be most appreciative of ideas where data exists in other parts of the world.  as far as general cleanup is concerned, i welcome any help, but seriously this article is better written and better referenced than 97 percent of all wikipedia articles.

replies: text: Sorry about not signing the above. Unfortunately, the problem of the article being Bay-Area-centric is one which I will have a hard time helping with, as all of my experience with Bay Mud is in the Bay Area. The regulatory vs engineering stuff is something I will be working on, mostly in my free time at work. Argyriou 17:43, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a section on worldwide occurrences. unfortunately there is little engineering data on most of these, since no one is trying to build high-rise structures on them. i think we have milked the worldwide issue to its limit of knowledge hereCovalent 21:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Confusion of main topic due to added topics

message: The suggested merger is a thoroughly bad idea. Bay mud describes the material, mudflats describes the geological feature formed by the material. Clearly both are not the same and warrant distinct articles. 86.56.48.12 15:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
