Overall: AGF on the offline source, though I've found pictures of the monument that back up the claim. Everything else checks out, though I am personally offended by the idea of celebrating the Red "Delicious", as someone from Cosmic Crisp country. SounderBruce 21:53, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: I added an image. I personally think that Red Delicious apples really aren't delicious too. SL93 (talk) 01:53, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think the image would be properly legible at thumbnail size, and since it doesn't actually depict the engraved monument I think it would be best to leave it out of the hook. SounderBruce 18:01, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Shelter house
[edit]Hi SL93, is $28 million to construct the shelter house correct? It seems extreme, maybe a typo in ref? Thanks for the article. JennyOz (talk) 12:59, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- JennyOz. I fixed it. It was way different at $28,000. SL93 (talk) 15:33, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks SL93. JennyOz (talk) 17:02, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
