Talk:Haystack Rock

Haystock Rock is not the third lergest in the world. Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolith

I think they made it clear that it's the 3rd largest Sea Stack in the world, (monoliths that arise out of the ocean) Therubicon 14:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Recent questions about the location of Haystack Rock led to querying USGS Geonames. Turns out there are seven such places in Oregon:

and eight more outside Oregon. This should probably be handled as a disambiguation with the current article renamed to Haystack Rock (Tillamook County, Oregon). —EncMstr 07:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Caption error, the photograph is centered on the northEAST side, not the ocean-facing northwest side ( 2023 July )

The shoreline and beach is approximately north-south near Cannon Beach, and the photographer's vantage point on the beach is to the northeast of the monolith. If you look at [[ https://www.google.com/maps/@45.8846181,-123.9682824,229m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu | Google maps satellite view ]] you can see the morning-sunlit northeast and eastern faces, with the west-north-west face in shadow, not visible in the (nicely composed) photograph.

I'm a Wikipedia newbie, not sure of the proper way to correct the labeling. I'm a Cannon Beach visitor oldie, and first saw Haystack Rock in the late 1950s KeithLofstrom (talk) 02:09, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Popular culture section removed, July 2024

Hey everyone!

Reaching out specifically to @Graywalls to discuss the removal of the Popular culture section from July 2024 - [1]. Wonder if we could talk about the potential to move it back onto the page?

Although a Popular culture section is not common, it's also not uncommon...Haystack has been a fairly decent site of notable novels, television shows, and movies. Granted, the entire section lacked sourcing but should be an easy fix for a willing editor. Also have to admit, I'm not finding a WikiProject on landforms and WP:OREGON isn't listing any specific requirements or state-related coordination on landform article layouts. But still, I don't think it hurts and like I mentioned, common enough to not be uncommon.

Plus, dude, it was in Goonies!

Thanks!

Please see MOS:POPCULT. "it can be seen in...." is not a good reason for inclusion. Graywalls (talk) 18:22, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough. If I were to source it with in-depth coverage, then it would be acceptable? Shortiefourten (talk) 18:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Let's see what the sources say and we'll take it there. That guideline is in place to avoid fandom cruft and advertisement activities by non-notable directors and small time film producers to try to shoehorn their stuff into things significantly more notable than their stuff. If we allowed "it can be seen in the background..." we'd end up with a mile long list of books and films depicting or including the Statue of Liberty in Statue of Liberty page, for example. Assuming the works is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, it's often more appropriate to address the notable feature at the article's page rather than add some barely notable trivia into a highly notable feature.
