Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT ( talk) 06:18, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
it says on the article for fens, that they are often confused with bogs but are not actually bogs, so i removed fens from the synonym list in the beginning of the article.
In the section "Fires" it says (first sentence): Peat has a high carbon content and can burn under low moisture conditions.
In the section "Tissue Preservation" it says (last sentence): Peat represents the initial stage of coal formation, so its carbon content is low.
I find this confusing - could anybody in the know please clarify this?
Just tried getting the .pdf for reference #2 linked at the bottom and just got a "document not found on server" page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.236.21 ( talk) 19:18, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
An editor had inserted the following conjecture into the middle of the article after the line: "Using carbon-dating, scientists found that peat in peat bogs started forming 360 million years ago based on it currently containing 550 gigatonnes of carbon."
(Note: As is clearly stated in the above link to carbon-dating, 50,000 years is the outer limit for accuracy in carbon-dating. This statement claims to use carbon-dating to put a 360 million year age on the peat, which is not possible.) (Is it possible the writer meant Potassium-argon dating?)
I haven't yet checked to see if there is any validity to this but wanted to move it here for discussion/consideration rather than just outright removing it. PiousCorn ( talk) 01:31, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect
Mossy Land and has thus listed it
for discussion. This discussion will occur at
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 March 2#Mossy Land until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

There are three overlapping sections on characteristics and uses of peat in this article. I'm planning to try resolve this. TatjanaClimate ( talk) 16:09, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
