:::Each geological time period article, if it is to give an informative account of the scientific positions, will need to be substantially larger than the current article. As well as the beginning/end times, the preceding/following periods, where the name came from etc, each will need to have sections (each probably several paragraphs long) on the positions and movement of major landmasses during the period; the climate during the period, the dominant faunistic and floral groups, giving several specific examples; the main regions in which strata of the period are found, and the means by which they are recognised; plus discussion of the events responsible for starting and ending the period. And probably some other things too.
:::Many of these things will need to be explicitly compared to those of preceding/following periods as well.
:::Quite probably the creationist positions will need to be grown correspondingly to address each point raised too. There are about a dozen periods to deal with too, so I can't see any way that this can all be fitted into a single sensibly-sized article. --[[User:Jeremiah4-22|Jeremiah4-22]] 11:28, 6 May 2007 (EDT)
