Interesting archive, on fine sources. no copyvio obvious. You may want to add where this is, or not :) - How do you feel about an infobox? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:12, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Gerda Arendt, thanks for the review! I've added the infobox, though I need better source for its location so for now it points to Cape Grim Station where samples are collected (which makes sense, because it's more important to know where the samples are coming from than where are they stored). I've also added QPQ review. Artem.G (talk) 11:28, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- I rather meant Tasmania, vs. anywhere else on the globe where names would be in English. --
- Do you mean smth like
- ALT0a: ... that Tasmanian Cape Grim Air Archive collects air samples for more than 40 years?
- Artem.G (talk) 17:49, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- - yes. Shouldn't it be "has collected"? English not my native language ... - prep builder can fix or not. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:21, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, "collects" sounds off. Actually, I think it should be "has been collecting", since that would indicate the effort started in the past and is still ongoing. But I'm not a native either, so I hope one of those will be the promoter ^^ –LordPeterII (talk) 19:59, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not a native speaker too, so you may be right. Artem.G (talk) 21:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Scuba tanks
editI just watched the brand new Tom Scott video, and one interesting thing he talks about that is not in the article currently is that the Archive has been collecting pre-1978 scuba tanks from the public in order to extend the archive further back in time. I can't find good independent sources about this, but if someone can locate those it would make for an interesting addition to the article. Lennart97 (talk) 18:23, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- I found sources and added a sentence about donated scuba tanks. Thanks for the video, it's interesting though sadly very short. Artem.G (talk) 08:26, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Yep, that describes most Tom Scott videos :) Thanks for adding the info! Lennart97 (talk) 14:34, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
