I'm going to add, as an external link: topo map of Mount Signal], from within artist Allan McCollum's set of 100 images of Mount Signal. The 100 images includes some v. nice ones. I don't mind terribly if someone wishes to remove it though.

There is a Youtube video on climbing the mountain which is v. instructive about what it is like, without narration, but it is not a great video otherwise. Is it good to include this kind of thing in the external links, or not? I would be inclined to include.

There may be some useful bits for this article, including about estimating prominence using the topo map, at Talk:List of mountain peaks of Mexico#Signal Mountain, Baja California. --do ncr am 23:17, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have the idea that the name: Mount Signal is better than El Centinela, for an article in english about the summit

I have a basic knowledge of english, I can read it away much better than write it. I don't Know if l'm capable to express or explain the matter or subject with all the necessary details. So I gonna write it in spanish, hoping that you can understand me.

Soy nativo de Mexicali, Baja California. Toda la vida he visto ese cerro al oeste de la ciudad, El cerro del Centinela o simplemente el Centinela, de hecho yo fui el creador de la wiki en español para el cerro. Entrando en materia, creo que las wikis o artículos de wikipedia deben preservar la tradición de su idioma y los nombres propios son parte de esa tradición. No se trata de traducir el nombre, o anglificarlo si puede ser correcta la expresión, sino que existe un nombre diferente en inglés para ese mismo cerro o montaña, porque como lo expreso en la wiki en español, ese cerro es un simbolo de la región y al ser esta una región fronteriza convergen elementos de una cultura y otra. En California existe una localidad pequeña llamada Mount Signal y tiene su wiki donde dice que se llama precisamente así por la montaña, luego otro articulo de un artista plástico, cuyo nombre no recuerdo, hizo una de las páginas que yo cito en mi artículo en español pues el ha coleccionado más de cien imágenes de la montaña a la cual llama: Mount Signal, no El Centinela. Resumiendo los norteamericanos o Estadounidenses crearon el nombre Mount Signal para ese rasgo de su entorno y yo digo que.debemos respetar eso, aunque la montaña no esté en su territorio. Tengo más razones, si quieren, luego se las expongo.Verdelunar (talk) 00:17, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
