Stable isotope notation

At some point in the revision history of this article, the magnitude of stable isotopic oscillations at the CPE went converted in % units. This is very unusual for the stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen, which are expressed as permil (‰) as a standard. See for example Isotopes of carbon. I am to convert all values in ‰ in the next days, unless there was a specific reason not to do so..., in such a case, please advise. --Kaapitone (talk) 10:23, 20 January 2019 (UTC) Update: I did the conversion today. --Kaapitone (talk) 10:16, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New research

There's been some new research on the Carnian Pluvial Event done by the Australian Grographic, there might be some new additional information that could be helpful in the information. This new research is suggesting that we could have our 6th mass extinction event to be discovered (excluding the Holocene extinction event) [1]

Note: This is my first Wikipedia talk post, and I have no idea how to use this information in wikipedia to help with the information. Hope someone reads through and considers these information. Cory Ponyeim (talk) 08:31, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the news! I started modifying according to the new literature, much has been published on the CPE since the last significant changes indeed and the page needs a refresh. I hope I will have time to work on it in the next weeks. Kaapitone (talk) 17:32, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
