<s>Most (but not all) of the material in this article should be merged into [[Riparian strips]]. A Riparian is the interface between water and land under erosive influences, a Riparian strip it the vegetation in this area. --[[User:Duk|Duk]] 00:35, 28 July 2005 (UTC)</s> |

== Other riparian articles == |

I think separate topics should be separate articles in most cases, but [[riparian]], [[riparian forest]] and [[riparian strips]] are so close in meaning that doesn't make sense to me to split them off. Anyone else? -- [[User:Kjkolb|Kjkolb]] 11:59, 23 December 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:I don't have a problem with merging these articles. My earlier edits involved moving information to the correct articles, not splitting. The different articles already existed.--[[User talk:Duk|Duk]] 01:06, 24 December 2005 (UTC) |
|||
I disagree. There are big differences between forested riparian zones (riparian forest) and grassland riparain zones (riparian strips). Maybe there should be an article that is a combo of riparian & riparian zones, then a riparian forest and then a riparian strips. Of course I am just limited into Eastern NA humid temp climates. when you add in arisd and semi-arid regions riparian areas take on even more meanings. --[[User:Rcc105|Ray]] 01:57, 24 December 2005 (UTC) |
|||
As written, the articles don't make a clear distinction between the terms. They use the same picture and [[riparian strip]] has a whole section on logging. I suggest that they be combined and each type have a section. -- [[User:Kjkolb|Kjkolb]] 02:36, 24 December 2005 (UTC) |
|||
As written you are correct, the article are similar enough to combine them, however, I believe if the articles were developed further they would be much more different from each other. Maybe that is not realistic. We could combine them and have three (or more) major parts in which the different topics could be discussed and compared.--[[User:Rcc105|Ray]] 10:46, 24 December 2005 (UTC) |
|||
That would be good. -- [[User:Kjkolb|Kjkolb]] 11:26, 24 December 2005 (UTC) |

==merger== |
|||
all of the above comments seem reasonable. i would propose to merge first [[Riparian strips]] (should be singular!) and [[Riparian]]; perhaps more detailed articles could be created later such as [[Riparian forest]], which article can be left alone for now.

==merge completed of [[Riparian]] and [[Riparian strips]] into [[Riparian zone]]== |
|||
this merger is completed following the general agreement noted above. i have preserved all of the concepts and images. [[User:Anlace|Anlace]] 18:45, 7 April 2006 (UTC) |
|||
==one loose end (newest merger proposal)== |
|||
i just noticed another article which appears to address the same topic. it is called [[Riparian buffer zones]]. i propose a merger of that article (which only has inlinks from one other article) |
|||
into [[Riparian zones]]. it has some useful info and a decent reference list which should survive. what do others think? [[User:Anlace|Anlace]] 18:49, 7 April 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:All abaord. It'll be good to have a more direct interface among these themes. Cheers, [[User:Daniel Collins|Daniel Collins]] 19:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC). |

== Riparian Zone Schematic : Image text needs editing == |
|||
To reiterate a previous user's discussion : |
|||
There's a typo in the description of this image (Everclades for Everglades) but I (being a newbie) don't know how to get to it to fix it. I'm sure SOMEONE can! --Mpwrmnt 05:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC) |

|||
I too am a newbie, and can't figure out how to correct this problem. |
|||
Can someone help? |

:I fixed it. It's an image from Wikimedia Commons, so you had to click the link "its description page there" in the text "This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there..." and then edit. [[User:Pfly|Pfly]] 05:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC) |
|||
Thank you. I now understand how you made the correction, and see that it has been applied to the image description in the Wikimedia Commons. However, when I call up the reference from the Riparian zone article, it still contains the typo. I don't understand what is going on : is there some caching mechanism that has not yet been updated? |
