Contradiction?

I'm not a geologist but it seems to me that the statement that "Thielsen was produced by subduction of the Template:Underline under the North American Plate" conflicts with the statement below that says "The Cascade Range was produced by convergence of the North American Plate with the subducting Template:Underline." Isn't the Nazca Plate a bit further south.  –droll [chat] 08:13, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

You're right -- it's the Juan de Fuca plate. —hike395 (talk) 08:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, that was a confusion on my part. Blame my frazzled brain. ceranthor 20:28, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation?

As a southern Oregon native, I have never heard Thielsen pronounced TEAL-sun. There's always a "th" sound at the beginning. I'm thinking the source isn't very reliable because I haven't ever heard Willamette pronounced will-A-mut or Oregon pronounced OARY-gun, either. Thoughts?

I'm not a native but I've lived in the state for about 20 years. I agree with you. –droll [chat] 23:22, 2 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
I removed the incorrect pronunciation and the source. LittleMountain5 23:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
