There is no period at the end of the second paragraph (after "between 12,800 and 11,700 years ago"). Please add a period. Byukk (talk) 17:21, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Terminology

In Germanic science, since some Years, we term the previous Glacial to "Cold period"/Kaltzeit" in contrast to "Interglacial/Warmzeit" in Order to avoud misunderstandings between "Eiszeitalter/Ice age" and "Eiszeit/Glacial", which are easier to distinguish in English - if I have put it correctly.HJJHolm (talk) 10:09, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Grammar error: "An ice age is a term" — no it isn't!

• "Ice age" is a term, but an ice age is not a term.
• "Horse" is a word, but a horse is not a word. It's an animal.
