I've added a [dubious – discuss] tag on the statement "The first successful laying of transatlantic telegraph cable in August 1858 confirmed the presence of an underwater "telegraphic plateau" mid-ocean ridge". I've just read an article in the September 2012 issue of Hydro International called "The Myth of the Telegraphic Plateau". According to this, the Telegraphic Plateau was a supposed plateau stretching from Newfoundland to Ireland (so named because it was supposedly very smooth and flat, and so suitible for laying cables across). However, such a feature does not exist as such, and was based on misinterpretation of limited data (and ignoring contradictory data) from surveys across the Mid Atlantic Ridge. The MAR itself is a complely different shape, and (according to Mid-Atlantic_Ridge was not discovered until 1925. This will probably need changing/rewording, although someone more knowledgable of the subject probably should have some input. (I came here looking for info on the Telegraphic Plteau, and this seems to be the only mention in Wikipedia). Wardog (talk) 14:32, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Please everyone, check my revision on Oceanography article so that i knew, is it wrong or not? Dreamfayth (talk) 05:33, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
Can we remove the 2008 cit notice from this Wikipedia article now? The key content has been updated considerably since then. Also it is not clear what needs attention atm. Prokaryotes (talk) 03:43, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
I trimmed some peacock about a book called The Geography of the Oceans by John Francon Williams. I can't find evidence in Google Scholar suggesting the work had significant influence. --Epipelagic (talk) 19:12, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
