[edit]

This article has been redirected to Umm_al_Binni_lake#Climate_change_and_impact_effects. However, the redirect is to a different topic, a possible event in 2200 BC at Umm al Binni lake. The lake is mentioned in 2350 article, but only as a possible location. The main source known to me Why we shouldn’t ignore the mid-24th century BC when discussing the 2200-2000 BC climate anomaly by Baillie and McAneney does not even mention Umm al Binni and is mainly about evidence from Irish tree rings. Redirecting to an article on a subject which is only tangentially related is unhelpful to the reader, so I will revert. I agree that the article is not notable as it stands so one alternative is to start an afd. A second is to find a section of a relevant article to redirect to. A third alternative is for someone with good access to sources to improve the article - assuming that such sources exist and I agree that the Baillie paper is insufficient. In this case, the article would need a name change as the evidence is not for a specifically Middle Eastern anomaly. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:12, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected citation and added URL to PDF of paper in NASA Astrophysics Data System

[edit]

I corrected citation and added URL to PDF of paper in NASA Astrophysics Data System. The title that I replaced came from a 1997 abstract:

Courty, M.-A., 1997. Causes And Effects Of The 2350 BC Middle East Anomaly Evidenced By Micro-debris Fallout, Surface Combustion And Soil Explosion Presented at the SIS Conference: Natural Catastrophes during Bronze Age Civilisations (11th-13th July 1997) (abstract)

The correct citation to the paper in the article is:

Courty M.-A. 1998b. The soil record of an exceptional event at 4000 BP in the Middle East. In: Peiser BJ, Palmer T, Bailey ME (eds) Natural catastrophes during Bronze Age civilizations: archaeological, geological, astronomical, and cultural perspectives. BAR International Series 728, Archaeopress, Oxford, pp 93–108. Paul H. (talk) 20:16, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
