List of works similar to the 2020 Utah monolith → List of works similar to the Utah monolith – There aren't multiple Utah monoliths by year — disambiguation in the title here is unnecessary and inconsistent. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 18:33, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose There is not enough context in "the Utah monolith" as it could be anything even a natural structure, for those who have never heard of it which will be the case as time goes by. The date provides additional context, it is a distinct phenomenon of 2020. -- GreenC 18:41, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Would that be an argument for renaming Utah monolith? I care more about the lack of consistency here than the particular name. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 20:11, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes I think we should rename that article.

• Jailhouse Rock (Utah) is a monolith
• Bottleneck Peak (Utah) is a monolith
• Angels Landing (Utah) is a monolith
• Temple of the Sun (Utah) is a monolith
• Chimney Rock (Utah) is a monolith
• Temple of the Moon (Utah) is a monolith
• Elephant Butte (Arches National Park) (Utah) is made from monoliths
• Dee Benson contains a discussion of a different Utah monolith installation in 2009
• there are many more

So if we have an article called Utah monolith what is being referred to? -- GreenC 14:23, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

• Support as proposed title is more concise and removes the year from the title. Octoberwoodland (talk) 23:34, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose per GreenC and last move discussion it needs to be qualified—blindlynx (talk) 17:51, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
• Support per WP:CONCISE and the fact that the main article is called Utah monolith. Policy is to "balance brevity with sufficient information to identify the topic to a person familiar with the general subject area", not to be entirely unambiguous even to people who have never heard of it. Compare List of hillside letters, which might not be quite what you think it is, but it should not have its article title expanded to differentiate it from everything else those words could mean. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:52, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Utah 2021 monolith possible error?

The article says:

On April 3, 2021, Another monolith was found in the Three Peaks recreational area near Cedar City, Iron County, Utah. One major difference was that the monolith had a button on the east facing side that when pressed, would expose a container which had a metal piece with the eye of RA, the Egyptian sun God. This drawer dispensed strips of copper engraved seemingly the first piece of a puzzle: “HUMAN MAY 4TH | 37.3179604 | 114.9597835.”

While this is taken from a cited source, I think that it needs to be corroborated. The numbers are obviously geocoordinates, but as given they are point to a nondescript greenhouse, one of many in an agricultural area in Julu County, China. However, changing the longitude to western (-114.9597835) points to a place just off the western tip of the "island" in Delamar Dry Lake (37°19′4.66″N 114°57′35.22″W), an obvious landmark which is moreover approximately (or maybe exactly?) 100 land miles from the monolith's location. I strongly suspect that the coordinates are wrong as cited, and this should be checked. 2A02:8071:5BD0:D4C0:0:0:0:2037 (talk) 11:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
