== PROPOSAL: article name change to Pangaea Proxima ==
Per the opening paragraph of the article itself (as of March 2018), the ''very'' person who put forward the original proposition of this potential future supercontinent in question ''in the first place'' has changed his titling of same to Pangaea Proxima to "reduce confusion" about the title "Pangaea Ultima"'s implying it is the "last" supercontinent. Given this fact (and said proposer's subsequently referring to said concept exclusively as such),; that (anecdotally) it seems the PP name is somewhat more widespread than the PU version,; and that wikipedia strives for providing the most currently-accurate information (rather than having one of its primary goals be, say, the ossification of historical (''sensu lato'') perspectives (for, although rummaging about in the subterranean bowels of the Article Change-Log Caves can certainly provide the requisite underlying historical references for such a goal, this is, nevertheless, '''not''' a primary aim of the site at this time, afaiui)), I am led to Extremely Strongly Think™ this article ought to be renamed to this preferred, more widespread (perhaps), and most importantly, both the currently-intended *and* the far less Potentially Misleading title of (ahem) <reverb> '''Pangaea Proxima''' </reverb (after sufficient pause)>, with the name Pangaea Ultima remaining perpetually as a redirect target to this updated name, thereby making sure any party looking for this older label will be brought to their (presumably) intended search result. (And, For The Record, I also think this is a sort of dead-obvious thing to do, in light of A) the very facts currently listed on the page itself, B) existing and historical wikipedia precedent when it comes to titling of articles with multiple available choices, and C) the much-maligned yet still apposite concept of Common Sense. But, of course, what is dead-obvious to me may seem quite questionable to, psssh, say, oh… MARTIANS, for example (not to imply anything about any of my potential polar-opposite-viewpoint-holders, of course — just sayin': it's quite conceivable that Martians just might find it questionable, mkay?).) Ahem. So… Thoughts? :o) [[User:Saturn comes back around|Saturn comes back around]] ([[User talk:Saturn comes back around|talk]]) 20:04, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
