  • Support. Wow, nice pictures, nice sections, brilliant geology table. Good stuff. func(talk) 00:52, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Object temporarily. Agree with preceding, but I just spent about half an hour fixing links and spelling and I just barely started. Needs more copyediting and checking of links. Elf | Talk 01:20, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC) Support now; I did more edits, too. Not an objection, but my opinion: I don't care for the use of "media" rather than ":Image" for the "(photo)" links--I have no way of finding out more about the photo from the page that comes up, and I think that's useful info to see. Elf | Talk 16:43, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • I agree about the media vs :image issue and changed it back. The only problem (and the reason why I changed it in the first place) is that [[image: and [[media: are the only way to get the page it is linked from listed in the File links section on the image description page. Oh well. Thanks again for all the great edits! --mav
    • Fair enough - I'll let you finish and then I'll do another copyedit pass. --mav 01:24, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Copyedit done. Thanks for the feedback! --mav 03:39, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Support if you can make the captions to the pictures a bit more lively! Good work mav. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:59, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Thanks! I added more to the captions. --mav 10:16, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Most of those are good captions, only a few need to be full sentences. Could you fix this? I'd really like to support this article! It's my only nit. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:41, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. One issue: you use both BC and CE in the article, which is inconsistent. I could change it myself, but I note your preference (CE) is different from mine (AD), so I'll let you choose. Jeronimo 09:42, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Fixed. I avoid AD with extreme prejudice. --mav 10:16, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. Ambi 08:36, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Support, great information, but strangely no links to or much mention of some of the other National parks in Utah, especially Bryce, but also Canyonlands, Capital Reef, and Arches. Do those have similar or related geology? - Taxman 16:16, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
    • Great idea! I'll add that info later. IIRC Canyonlands and Arches have some of the same formations. Oh, and I've already mentioned Bryce and the Grand Canyon. --mav 23:33, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • Well, only in the history section, and Bryce wasn't linked :) - Taxman 05:09, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
