  • Airlight - The sort of effect well known in Los Angeles, where, during the day, middle-sized pollution particles reflect sunlight creating a white haze in the air. In L.A, of course, this hides the mountains until dusk. I read about it in an article about an artist who quoted a scientist who told him about it. I don't know how easily available sources will be, but it seems like the sort of thing that should have an article.

It is also referenced in six Wikipedia articles. No one has yet written an article defining what it is, or tied it to it's very special biblical reference. It is not mentioned in the history of the window and there is no history of it under windowpane materials in Wikipedia.) (Haymond, Bruce: 8 July, 2012; "Seeing Through a Glass Darkly, and the Urim & Thummim", Temple study, web source; http://www.templestudy.com/2012/07/08/glass-darkly-urim-thummim/)

    • Geologic time periods

    edit
  • List of continental positions This in concept would be a geology reference showing and including a succession of best guess maps showing continental drift effects. IIRC, data more than 2.5 billion years is lacking... so from then to present, circa 33-1/3rd Millions of years apart, would be my choice. Hence one can do a third on the hundred multiples, and go back and build the intervening maps on the rest. I also believe both 50 and 100 million years are too coarse to be truly useful, whereas the three times a hundred give some resolution without too many maps in the project.
  • List of ice ages Table of Major and Minor, Geologic timescale xref'd, perhaps some link to geology/geography resultant structures or features in evidence today. Try this Timeline_of_glaciation (more)

  • FRGOK - "Geologists have a category of rock called FRGOK, pronounced fergock, meaning, Funny Rock, God Only Knows, which is used enough to occasionally make it into their scholarly journals. (Would that all scientists were so humble.)" Anne Herbert, The Next Whole Earth Catalog. Quoted at [32]; this is literally all I know about this; Ms. Herbert does not normally write hoaxes, fringe theories, or silly humor. -- Writtenonsand (talk) 15:02, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Liquefaction zone — judging by how many articles refer to a "liquefaction zone" (or "zones"), as attempting to view the non-existent article demonstrates, I'm surprised this article doesn't already exist. I've now read the relevant sections in the Earthquake and Liquefaction articles, but I'm still not entirely clear on what a liquefaction *zone* is...
  • List of Colombian departments by elevation - This list exists for the U.S. and some other countries, but Colombia does not have such a list. In fact, most countries do not. However, this information would be interesting and notable for geographers and laymen alike. Can someone start making these lists systematically so that more countries are covered?

  • Ben Bennett Park - Environmental Reserve in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia
  • Bowser Lake (Lake in British Columbia, resting place of Simon Gunanoot) ("Mount Gunanoot". BC Geographical Names. British Columbia. Archived from the original on 2016-03-04. Retrieved 2020-08-11.)
  • Bozai Darya - river
  • Chongoni - mountain in Malawi
  • Disi aquifer - "A so called fossil water" in Southern Jordan and Northern Saudi Arabia where『Much of the water in the Disi aquifer essentially hasn’t moved since it began dripping into the ground during the Pleistocene era, some 30 000 years ago,』and is radioactive. [47]
  • Faraglioni (Capri) - the three "famous" faraglioni located in the Bay of Naples, off the island of Capri. Don't you think they absolutely need an article, even better if translated from the Italian one? Thanks a lot ^_^
  • Floating Meadow - an ecological habitat of the Brazilian rainforest, where grasses clump together and form floating mats. Scientifically, this is discussed by Junk "Investigations on the ecology and production-biology of the 'Floating Meadows' (Paspalo-Echinochloetum) on the Middle Amazon". Other references are available here [48] and here [49]. In Europe the term seems to be loosely used interchangeably with "Water Meadow" or "Flooded Meadow" as seen in Wikipedia. However, this is due to the absence of an actual separate ecology in Europe making the distinction of less importance. There are many articles on Wikipedia which refer to floating meadows (such as the one on Piranhas), but unfortunately there is no article where the ecology is actually discussed.
  • Glaslyn (Montgomeryshire) - Lake in Montgomeryshire managed by the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust (http://www.montwt.co.uk/reserves/glaslyn) - do not confuse with Glaslyn in Snowdonia.

  • Last Chance Valley - A valley where Richard Stoddard claimed there was a lake filled with gold nuggets; is this different than Last Chance Range?
    • There is more than one Last Chance Valley. One is located "east of the Last Chance Range" in Death Valley [50]. Another is a historical valley in Plumas County, California, that is now filled by a reservoir called Frenchman Lake [51]. The latter is in the Gold Country and is likely the one requested. Gorthian (talk) 18:20, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Mount Sunday itself is called a "small hill" in the linked page, which calls into question its notability. Perhaps the requester wanted an article on the wetland? Gorthian (talk) 17:31, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    The creek itself seems to lack notability; perhaps the requester wants an article on Tuscarora Creek Park? Gorthian (talk) 17:59, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
