Talk:Late Pleistocene

Late and Upper

... are not synonyms. The Late Pleistocene is an age, a geochronological unit that corresponds to Upper Pleistocene stage rocks. Pseudofusulina (talk) 17:13, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

BP vs. BC

This Late Pleistocene article states "The end of the age is defined as 11,700 calendar years BC (before Christ)."

Should this be changed to "11,700 calendar years BP (before present)"? The Holocene article states that it "began at the end of the Pleistocene (at 11,700 calendar years BP)."

Mixing up 11,700 BC with 11,700 BP is a difference of about 2,000 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.48.14.22 (talk) 23:31, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

"Corresponding glacial periods in Eurasia"?

And those would be??...Kortoso (talk) 18:07, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Tarantian?

"The name of this interval is derived from the European regional stage of the same name." http://www.britannica.com/science/Tarantian-Stage Kortoso (talk) 18:09, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Archaic Species

"extinction of the last remaining archaic human species." Apparently the Neanderthals and Denisovans left their dna in the Sapiens genome, which makes them races of Erectus, not species in their own right. 83.84.100.133 (talk) 03:57, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Comments because this is GAN

@No Great Shaker: This article only deals with humans in the Late Pleistocene rather than the Late Pleistocene itself. There's no discussion on other animals (what were other mammals doing at this time? Birds? Reptiles? Fish?), hardly any geology (I see only a very very brief discussion on glaciers and climatic events, nothing on volcanism, tectonics, meteors, or much about stratigraphy), nothing on plants, and the ocean isn't mentioned (I'm fairly certain pretty major things were occurring with ocean currents and circulation at this time). The article still has some ways to go. See Paleocene for an example (it's currently our only quality geological subdivision article, I really hope you can change that).   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  21:16, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Dunkleosteus77, the purpose of the GAN is to hopefully find out where the article currently stands and what else can be done (to a large extent, you've answered the latter point). Much depends on the knowledge of the reviewer when the subject is as complex and potentially wide-ranging as this one. I quite agree that the article can be expanded. The difficulty as always is having the necessary sources to hand. As you have knowledge of prehistory, would you be willing to undertake the review? I would certainly prefer a reviewer with knowledge of the subject. Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 21:29, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to see this article get close to GA quality (specifically criteria 3a) before opening up a review. This article is quite incomplete as it stands, and I have no idea how much time it might take you to expand it to a proper length. Finding sources about the Late Pleistocene shouldn't be difficult for you, there are tons about all the different aspects which I've told you about above, and you may discover more as you expand   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  22:55, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, well, time is the problem. With the GAN backlog drive underway, it will be best to leave the nomination in place and see what transpires. Whatever the result of the GAR, there will be plenty of time in future to expand the article. No Great Shaker (talk) 05:18, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

I recommend getting the article up to standards while you're waiting   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  22:17, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
