Improvements[edit]

would welcome improvements. Eocene guy (talk) 04:51, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Naming[edit]

happy to see some improvements here by kevmin.

Have been finding other Wiki pages that refer to the McAbee Fossil Beds under other names - Cache Creek fossil site, McAbee locality etc., and linking back to this page.

Anyone referring to the McAbee fossil site as 'Cache Creek', would appreciate you using on your Wikipages the correct name which is McAbee. Cache Creek is the name of the nearby town. Eocene guy (talk) 02:13, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you find any other instances of "Cache Cree Fossil site" then please feel free to change them, but I think all have been corrected at this point. nice additions to this article also!--Kev min § 03:34, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map and pictures[edit]

If there is a map that could be added or relevant pictures of the site or of fossils from the site, these would be great additions. Eocene guy (talk) 12:49, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would add a location map if I was more adept at the generation of them in the infoboxes. As for pictures, its dependent on users uploading images onto wikicommons with a (preferably) cc3-creative commons license. the process there is very simple and i can handle the relevant categorization of images after they are uploaded.--Kev min § 17:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Register of Historic Places[edit]

The text stating McAbee was listed on CRHP was removed claiming it 'misstates what the CRHP is/does'. I think the user read something into the text that was neither implied nor explicitly stated. The text simply states that it was listed on the Register, which is true. A link is provided to the CRHP Wikipedia article so any reader can check there and see that the CRHP is a listing and does not confer any additional status or protections. Eocene guy (talk) 17:34, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saying that the site is listed on the CRHP suggests that the CRHP confers status. It doesn't. It's tremendously misleading. Refer to the actual historic designation (the CRHP is merely a database of sites that have historic designations, it's not a designation itself). CRHP is an information source. The act of listing of the fossil beds on the CRHP was an administrative action - there is no signifcance to it. Saying that the site is listed on the CRHP is like saying it's in the phone book or can be found on Google. The link to the CRHP, and to the article on the CRHP, is in the reference, so a reader is more than able to click and find out more. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 01:15, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
