Problems with the info box[edit]

I successfully put in informaiotn on the Cahracteriistic of the light. However, there are two lights, one red and one white. I tried to put information on their range, and only one shows. HELP? 7&6=thirteen (talk) 22:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]

I think I solve this problem. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 23:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)Stan[reply]

I've been wondering for a while about the "characteristic" part of the infobox. If the light is currently in operation, does the characteristic apply to the way the light is currently operating, or originally?Asher196 (talk) 03:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also think you added too much detail for the characteristic. I think it should read something like the way Terry Pepper has it, "The new lens was officially exhibited for the first time on the night of September 1, 1891, with its new characteristic of a repeated 30 second cycle, consisting of fixed white light for 25 seconds followed by a 5 second eclipse, visible for a distance of 16 miles." only less verbose.

Characteristic: White for 25 sec. w/5 sec. eclipse

If you go to Volume 7 of the Coast Guard, you can look up most presently working lights. It is a PDF document, and you can use Control-F, then open the main search window. They list the present characteristic of the light, including fog horns if applicable. While the historic characteristic may be of interest to a couple of readers, the present characteristic is of real consequence to mariners. I would go with the latter, IMHO. In the case of the Tawas Point Light, I more or less repeated what the Coast Guard says is its present characteristic. Best to you. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 19:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]
