- Thanks! The absence of this article was a bit of a glaring omission for a very long time. But you filled that hole and I just followed behind you and added some more. This article is still far from done. --mav 05:26, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

FYI - I'm expanding this article offline. I should have the expanded article ready to upload in a week. Any edits made to this article will be incorporated into my offline fork, but please try to put off major edits until after I upload the expanded version. :) --mav 05:14, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] defining the plateau/consistency
A note about consistency: I'd say that if the plateau is, as traditionally defined, bounded on the east/northeast by the Rockies, then it is a bit incongruous to include San Juan Mtns Wilderness Areas in the protected areas section. They are, after all, part of the Rocky Mountains, and geologically as well as geographically not really part of the plateau. MojaveDesertRat 21:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rate of Uplift and effect on Climate
Ruddiman and Kutzbach (and others) hypothesize that the uplift of this plateau and the Tibetan Plateau are implicated in the global cooling that started about 40 million years ago. A basic meteorology text (Moran and Morgan's Meteorology: The Atmosphere and the Science of Weather) cites this hypothesis along with the claim that about half of the uplift occurred between 10 and 5 million years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joepanzica (talk • contribs) 01:19, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
