Disambiguation[edit]

THE ORIGINAL BALANCING ROCKS ON A ZIMBABWEAN CURRENCY ARE FOUND AT MATOPO NATIONAL PARK DOWN THE ROAD TO CECIL JOHN RHODES GRAVE. PLEASE CORRECT THE ERROR ON YOUR INFORMATION THANK YOU. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.46.26.166 (talk) 01:29, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article and another called Balanced Rocks refer to specific geologic formations. However, there are at least several dozen such formations around the world that go by similar names. I propose we have a single article under the title of "Balancing Rocks" that describes the geological, cultural and historical nature of these formations in general and lists all of the formations in a single article. Unless someone objects or has a better idea, I'll create an initial version of this new format soon. Lexaxis7 (talk) 20:55, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The rocks on the currency are in Epworth. You can compare the bocks and the note. Babakathy (talk) 07:30, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Balancing rock[edit]

This page is a duplicate of Balancing Rocks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.125.197 (talk) 16:41, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support - There is no need to have 2 articles with same title and Zimbabwe's rock formation is not unique, its talk about all rock formations in there. If a writer want to write about a perticular notable rock formations like Krishna's Butterball of India then he can write sep article.Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 07:17, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Need a tag for differentiation[edit]

@David notMD:, @Wjemather:, Hi there are two article including this, who have similar names other one is Balancing rock. But there is no tag present on top of these articles to explain the readers. You should add 'For' template on both of these articles for disambiguation or merge this article into 'Balancing rock'.Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 07:05, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
