GA comments from North Sea article edit

  • I think this content should be in "Early history" - or before it, if you prefer to restrict "history" to written records. --Philcha (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • The section does not say enough to establish relevance to the N Sea. --Philcha (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • I also think you need to say more about what the scientists thought they found, to show that this is not just another crackpot Atlantis story. --Philcha (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • Danish, Swedish archaeologists announce vast underground city in North Sea is from a site for science and fantasy fiction enthusiasts, not a WP:RS for a science topic - see comment above on Atlantis. You really need to find a better source, search Google Scholar for artciles by the head honcho, van Gelder. --Philcha (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
It's also published a few hours before April 1, 2005, and the link for the "alpine giant" mentioned in the article goes to an even more obvious joke published April 1, 2001 on the same site. This is an obvious hoax, I'm deleting it from the article. 85.224.117.200 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC).Reply
  • Lost world warning from North Sea is from the BBC and is very reliable as accurate as news reports get. However the actual journal papers by Gaffney & co. would be better. BTW the map showing the Channel land bridge and the Dogger Hills is great, if you can find the journal papers to back it up I suggest you ask Wikipedia:Graphic Lab to produce a similar map. The "Geology" section might be a good place, as the map shows the N Sea in its penultimate form. --Philcha (talk) 14:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
