How do I put a red dot on the map? There are other photos and graphics from NASA which are in the public domain, but it is way past my bedtime right now. So please help and get them in here. Thanks Nick Beeson ( talk) 04:21, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Since the Hiawatha Crater is 58 million years old, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Younger Dryas. If the YDIH is mentioned in the context of this crater, I recommend that it only be in connection to the list of failed predictions. The Kennett quote is one of the best examples of failed YDIH predictions & should be restored. 66.27.194.90 ( talk) 08:05, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
Because of the significance, it may also be good to name the article Hiawatha Crater, for now there is a redirect. prokaryotes ( talk) 10:24, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Hiyawatha Crater should have its own page; it is notable in its own right; there are much smaller impact craters with their own pages, and it is one of the 25 largest impact craters on earth, as well as being the first confirmed crater beneath an ice sheet (none of the Antarctic possible craters have been confirmed). It's definitely a notable crater in its own right. In my view the Hiyawatha Glacier page should contain information on the glacier with a short mention of the Impact Crater beneath it and a link to a Main Article for the crater. The secondary crater section also needs to be rationalised into the first, and some decision regarding the meteorite content taken. Espatie ( talk) 02:48, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
The glacier template, the crater template, and the images have different widths. However, in graphic design you usually stick to one width, because it looks more professional. Also you stick to either centered text, or left aligned. If someone could adjust these templates, that would be great, thanks! prokaryotes ( talk) 20:35, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
What does this have to do with the Hiawatha Glacier? There's already a section on the impact crater. 45.46.138.162 ( talk) 13:30, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
The figure captions are misleading and should be qualified as to the images being purely synthetic, not photos. They are figments, essentially color cartoons based on radar measurements. The sources call them "visualizations", which is disingenuous. It's like you made a plaster scale model of terrain, painted it, took a photo of that, and called it an image of the land. Yes it's a photograph, yes it is not fiction, yes it is an image (TIF file), but it is not what those terms qualify. Richard J Kinch ( talk) 17:21, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Hiawatha impact structure now exists and the content about it in this article has therefore been reduced substantially. This appears to match with feelings expressed by other editors in previous discussion sections on this talk page. Mikenorton ( talk) 12:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
