Correct me if I am wrong, Willmcw, but I didn't see you name a source on this:
- The peak, which marks a boundary between San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County, is called Baldy because of the absence of trees around the summit.
After all, isn't a fact "not a fact unless there's a source" as somebody once said? Also, shouldn't it read...
- According to so-and-so (whoever your source is), the peak, which marks a boundary between San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County, is called Baldy because of the absence of trees around the summit.
...especially since some of us insist upon linking even the most general statements of common knowledge to one specific person. I expect that you will go find me a quote now from the Los Angeles County surveyor proving that "Baldy"'s peak is indeed the boundary between the two counties - all under the inference that this should be deleted from the article if you do not, of course.
