Breakenridge cite

Yeah, that bivouac citation is not all that reliable; I should know, I wrote it, and by not reliable i mean I was only writing from memory, not from a source cited by the CME; basically you're citing the same person who mentioend it here, unless it was on this page before I got to it. I've been slowly browsing for a suitable proper cite, i.e. a provincial government report etc but linked ones are not all that common; and many are only in FVRD refernces ot private consultant's reports, e.g. on this page. I thought about just quoting this FRD report, but it still doesn't vie details of the anticipated wave size etc; the reliability of private consultancies is also at issue, though perhaps no less reliable than by the government's own engineers; just with different priorities. I'll keep looking, but if there's a way to use the link I just cited here instead of bivouac. it's recommended as, again, it was me who penned Bivouac's little note...there's a report somewhere with pictures of the fracture zone, I'll ry to find it again....Skookum1 (talk) 02:56, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here's a much better cite; this is an HTML adaptation of this pdf...see p.15.Skookum1 (talk) 03:10, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

edit war about Breakenridgeconsult

Re this, I tried to look up Sager & Evans, the consulting company the IP user mentions, no luck. My guess is that property owners or maybe the Village of Harrison Hot Springs did a hired-gun consultancy report; "what geologists?" he asks here, cites form them I think are on the Mount Breakenridge article where the main content/cite is from a FVRD study. But anyone who makes editorial comments on a main article isn't concerned with playing by Wikipedia rules, I doubt he'll come up with a cite for the report whose results he's touting; and which is of dubious origin agenda-wise to start with.Skookum1 (talk) 08:11, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

turns out the same IP user has similarly vandalized the Breakenridge article with editorial comments and a very bitch edit comment; I reversed it. The Sager & Evans report is what is cited on that article, and he does point out that they say the risk is low; but he wants to get rid of all mention of the risk and/or downplay it. There was newspaper coverage of this, also, have yet to find a link for it, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Douglas First Nation has had a study done....but editorializing in article space and disruptive beheviour are not welcome; if he learns to de-POVize what he wants said, then fine; but he doesn't stop at that, does he?Skookum1 (talk) 10:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About that, there were just substantial expansions on the Breakenridge article which pertain to the above matter considerably. Much of what's there maybe belongs in a separate article, or in other articles, or a new Geohazards in British Columbia article covering the scope of such things, so that mountain and lake articles aren't full of this stuff, likewise town articles. She's also comparing oceanic tsunamis to this one, somewhat stitched in a SYNTH fashion but not overtly; the comparisons are really to Lituya Bay, the slide that created Seton-Anderson Lakes, and The Barrier; I've heard Hells Gate Mountain in the Canyon has a huge crack in it (but don't have a cite for the column in the Vancouver Sun that mentioned that years ago), and so on. Mount Meager in 2350 BP had a volcanic landslide that became a lahar all the way down to Harrison Lake and beyond...then there's the backwash from a potential subsidence of Richmond during high freshet, or with just the right jiggle, sliding into the bottom of the Georgia Strait and the backwash coursing back up the Fraser - how far? Lots of scary stuff from the mountains in BC......Skookum1 (talk) 15:33, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia → Harrison Hot Springs – Name is unique, no secondary uses exist (other than the springs themselves and a waterdrome), target is redirect to current title. Canadian disambiguation rules per CANSTYLE say unique town/city names take no disambiguation Skookum1 (talk) 03:49, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
