Merge discussion

The proposed merge of Brito-Arctic province to this article looks entirely sensible. Mikenorton (talk) 06:51, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And also Thulean Plateau? Another synonym with its own page. Penguin2006 (talk) 14:59, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also propose that British Tertiary Volcanic Province be subsumed into this one since it is said in the article itself that it is a subunit of the Thulean Plateau. --Dracontes (talk) 11:53, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Google parse

Not sure how to add this, but Thulean Plateau search on google produces a little synospsis thus: North Atlantic Igneous Province The North Atlantic Igneous Province is a large igneous province in the North Atlantic, centered on Iceland. In the Paleogene, the province formed the Thulean Plateau, a large basaltic lava plain, which extended over at least 1.3 km2 in area and 6.6 km3 in volume.Wikipedia.

The size of the plateau is meant to be 1.3 million square kilometres, not 1.3 kilometres. The same for the cubic amounts. Needs fixing.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.96.218.230 (talk) 23:00, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be caused by a misparse by Google. I altered the article to use the {{convert}} template, which hopefully is easier to parse (and also provides imperial units). —hike395 (talk) 06:25, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Britain and Ireland in Igneous Landforms section

It's a bit messy at the moment as it has been divided into 'Britain' and 'Ireland' and yet many of the locations under 'Britain' are actually in Ireland albeit the British part of Ireland i.e. the province of Northern Ireland. The terms 'Britain' and 'British' are at odds here. Localities in Northern Ireland are definitely not in Britain but they could be considered British. They could also be considered Irish - rather depends on how you use the terms. We might be better trying to find descriptions that don't lead to this confusion possibly using the term 'island of Ireland' to bring all localities together that are on the smaller of the two big islands', though that brings its own complications as Rathlin is not a part of it. It is Irish in the geographical sense, British in the political/administrative sense. Please don't bash me here anyone - I'm attempting to tiptoe through any sensitivities on either hand to arrive at something helpful to the reader and not offensive to anyone.
