Citations within an article

I've been trying to follow the procedure followed within many of our meteorology and tropical cyclone articles. After re-reading the Manual of style, it appears several variations are possible, but that it needs to remain consistent within that article. If a certain type of citation is needed for an article to become GA or FA class, why not do it early on in an article's life cycle to save a lot of work later in the article's life? I can tell you that a lack on inline citations will generally keep me from updating an article because of all the extra work it would entail to upgrade its class.

Merge Longmire, Paradise and Sunrise

Hi Hike395, I would value your input in a discussion about merging some articles into Mount Rainier National Park. See: Talk:Mount Rainier National Park#Merge Longmire, Paradise and Sunrise. Thanks Patleahy 20:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if you could take a look and comment. :) --mav 14:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coor dms mountain

TfD nomination of Template:Coor dms mountain

Template:Coor dms mountain has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — Andy Mabbett 22:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for supporting speedy deletion. Andy Mabbett 19:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy tag

Image:Schematic long valley caldera.gif was tagged for deletion because there was no source information. Sure, there's a copyright tag saying it's UGSG, but all images on Wikipedia need to explicitly say where they came from.

I have added the information to the image page and removed the deletion tag. If you find any images without source, please could you do the same to avoid them being tagged for deletion. I could not find the original image on Commons, so I have tagged it as a move candidate. If you know where it is on commons, please can you either {{ncd}} tag the wikipedia copy, or let me know and I'll do it. - Papa November 1 07:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's all OK now. When I tagged the image yesterday, there was no source specified at all. I found the source and added it to the image a few minutes ago - that was the piped link you just unpiped! Either way, it's fine! - Papa November 1 07:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I was really surprised when I searched for the article and a similar picture wasn't already there! I always heard it was the most photographed mountain. Hmph. -- Siradia 05:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Baring

Yes, feel free to upload any flickr pic I have. Sometimes I browse through them looking for ones of possible use on wikipedia, but I have trouble keeping track of all the photos! So yea, go for it! Pfly 07:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to offer to do it myself, but as I wrote the above comment there was a minor baby-crisis so I cut it short. But reading your reply just now, I have some time, so I uploaded the photo and added to the Mount Baring page (oop, just realized I called it "Baring Mountain" in the caption). I'll see if I have any other flickr photos that could be useful for mountains and whatnot. That Baring photo is all full of glare from the sun, which was in exactly the wrong place for a good photo. I tried to make the glare "artistic", but there wasn't a lot to work with. I suspect the view of Baring from Barclay Lake would be quite stunning in the early morning or perhaps near sunset. Anyway, you wrote about the "Flickr upload bot" is broken right and how it uploads with correct provenance. Is the Flickr upload bot the Commons upload tool you get when choosing "image from Flickr"? (I haven't used it before, being a little shy about asking people, esp if their photo is copyrighted and I'd have to ask them to change that...) Anyway, all good I hope. I even used the Commons geocode "location" template for the first time. Fun fun.. Pfly 19:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

I thank you very much. I appreciate this award. Hmains 03:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute

Hike, since you have a good relationship with Hmains, can you help settle a disagreement we are having? Please see the bottom of Talk:Natural history. Thank you. —Viriditas | Talk 12:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I support the compromise offer you initiated as it represents the easiest solution to the problem. —Viriditas | Talk 22:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, fast on the draw adding that photo, less than one minute after page creation! Pfly 22:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(Are the Twin Sisters the two bumps to the left of Baker as seen from Seattle?)
I'm not sure, ..maybe. They seem to be the highest peaks west of Baker, except Black Buttes and Seward Peak, which appear to be subpeaks of Baker. I had just expanded Nooksack River and since the Middle and South forks kinda go around Twin Sisters (and I had time to kill) I figured I'd make the page. But as I did I realized it's one of those cases where the "mountain" has multiple summits, but is not really a whole "range". I figured North Twin and South Twin probably don't warrant their own pages, so might as well put them both on one page. Not sure how well worded the page is-- time to kill rapidly running out.

wrt geology stuff on Mount Shuksan and Twin Sisters -- I was just going off info from the book "Geology of the Pacific Northwest". But I imagine the USGS is a better source. Personally I'm almost completely ignorant of geologic stuff like this. Pfly 06:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Waterfall Infobox

Has there been an official decision about the waterfall infobox vs. template? I noticed you'd already changed a couple of North Carolina waterfalls. 5minutes 01:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with it, but you may have jumped the gun. I just hadn't seen too many others say anything about it. The WF Project members are occasionally pretty slow to respond to anything. 5minutes 09:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External link on Belmont Shore article

Can you not remove the link to Belmont Shore Now from the Belmont Shore page? It is not spam, but it is a resource for users! Just like the business association! --- Thopunk —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 21:36:59, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

ya, definitely not a spam link. it is a community website... similar to Yelp, where people can rate and review businesses in the area. there does happen to be forums, but that is not the main purpose of the website.. the ratings and reviews are. there is also a real estate section. i made the site because the current "business association" website (which for some reason is not being counted as spam), is terrible and unmodern. this town is hip and they need a hip website. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thopunk (talkcontribs).

check out the links on:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmont_Heights%2C_Long_Beach%2C_California

same thing. you should just let them all be lol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thopunk (talkcontribs) 05:37, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Wikiclimb?

Based upon your username, I assume you live near HWY 395. In case you live in the vicinity of HWY 2, let me invite you to join a party of Wikipedians that's forming to climb a little 3rd-class peak some time this fall. RSVP ·:· Will Beback ·:· 09:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Higher res version of your Carbon Glacier pic uploaded to Commons

I just said on my talk page that I don't mind at all, PatLeahy (talk) 05:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Just like to say thanks for filling in the document at Infobox Mountain with the definition of parent peak. I couldn't figure out how to do it. I'm adding it to British peaks at the moment (which are the only ones I'm sure about.)

Cheers - Mark J 09:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of peaks named Bear Mountain

Hi Hike395. I don't want to open a can of worms here, but I don't see the notability in having a List of peaks named Bear Mountain. Could you add some citations or anything that proves the encyclopedic value of this list? The can of worms is that there may be dozens more of these lists. Could you enlighten me as to the relevance herein? Thanks. – Freechild (¡!¡!¡!¡) 20:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No way, I don't touch agreed-upon conventions. I was just hoping this wasn't a bad precedent that could be avoided. Happy editing. – Freechild (¡!¡!¡!¡) 02:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geolinks

Hi, I see you weighed in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Currently used templates. I just noticed the change yesterday when I came up with several empty external links sections in articles I looked at. It seems we're in agreement that having the links at the bottom is a good thing. I'm not an expert on coordinates like those who are proposing the changes, but I agree with you that having the minimalist links is a service to our readers. Is there someplace we can take this to a larger venue? I dread having to clean up all this sections if this change sticks, and it seems only a few people are aware that this is happening. I'd hate to see this great tool go away. Katr67 17:12, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was going through removing "a few" empty section headers today and realized that there are probably hundreds for Oregon alone. I have a feeling they won't budge on this, and I was ready to just grudgingly accept it (and unfortunately not use the tl anymore). But your suggestions of where to bring it up are good. I mentioned it at WikiProject Oregon because I know a lot of us use Geolinks. You might mention it at the mountains project too, though I know you have mountain templates with coords in them also. The casual reader may not know that s/he can click on the coordinates and find maps. I don't see why having a few in external links is such a bad thing. And it saves a click. Katr67 03:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now what?

How do we get the geo project folks to move on this? Is an RFC the next step? It's not quite an "incident" yet. Katr67 16:36, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
