Uluru

Is there a reason that Uluru (Ayres Rock, Australia) isn't on this list? I'm willing to add it, but don't know if it's left off for a particular reason. Catsintheattic (talk) 17:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks Catsintheattic, good idea. I have no idea if it was ever on the list, removed, or never put on. There's no talk page discussion of it before your suggestion, so thanks again. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:22, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Enh, I don't think it belongs... the only reason IMO would be that it is named "rock", but anything can be named anything. Gardner's Gut is not a Gut (coastal geography) for instance. And the thing is huge, it's a geological feature set into the ground and immovable rather than a rock in the sense we are using it here for all other entries. It belongs in List of rock formations along with Lion rock and other mountains. Herostratus (talk) 17:46, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

a geological feature set into the ground and immovable... — as are Wave Rock, Hippo's Yawn and Dog Rock. Not as big as Uluru, but they are not going to move in a hurry (although it has been proposed for Dog Rock). There may be others, but these three I know of directly.

Uluru's page says it is a sandstone monolith, and Monolith is described as "a geological feature consisting of a single massive stone or rock, such as some mountains". The question seems to be is it one rock or many rocks, and by what definition. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, fair enough I guess, but still, putting Uluru and say the London Stone in the same list makes the list awfully broad IMO. Herostratus (talk) 03:52, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Herostratus, on the remove side, noting that not all the named objects on the Monolith page are on this list so Uluru's addition may be undue. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:15, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Carreg y Bwci

The description cell of this stone is missing, and I haven't found anything on google. Is there a reason for it being included? Herostratus (talk) 17:34, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
