nanotesla I presume, won't be clear and should be stated. 76.180.168.166 (talk) 00:18, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, done now.--Nvvchar. 01:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

This article should be moved to Bangui magnetic anomaly based on my reading of WP:MOSCAPS. Because it's on the front page at the moment, I'm not being bold.--~T P W 02:30, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@True Pagan Warrior: this article has since been moved. But I really dislike how it violates Wikipedia:Article titles#Consistency vis a vis the others in Category:Magnetic anomalies. Thoughts? – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 13:32, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know enough about magnetic anomalies to speak to these in particular, but when it comes to capitalization I ask myself if capitalization is being used to suggest visual emphasis or importance, neither of which are supported in English grammar, and both of which are lost on anyone who isn't reading the words on page or screen. ~T P W 16:35, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@True Pagan Warrior: having simply stumbled across this article, I know nothing about magnetic anomalies either. But I would argue that the question here is not importance, but whether or not these things are geographic features that have proper names. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:25, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Effect?[edit]

It would be nice to know what effects this has on stuff. 131.191.98.224 (talk) 04:00, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
