This page is quoting the third image, which appears to be a sign post from a national park, word for word. -dwbapst —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.197.116 (talk) 17:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article about Michel Foucault contains the following citation regarding the "The philosopher Michel Foucault called his 1975 acid trip at Zabriskie Point the greatest experience of his life." statement in the Trivia section:
David Macey (1995). The Lives of Michel Foucault: A Biography. Vintage. ISBN 0679757929
Michel_Foucault#cite_note-0 - I haven't personally seen the book in question so can't verify, but could that citation be used in this article? Tregnaward (talk) 07:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re File:Zbriskie Point South Panorama 2012.jpg

The label for this picture was "Panoramic view from Zabriskie Point, looking northeast towards Furnace Creek". If the view is toward the northeast why is the file name "south panorama". There's no further elucidation in the file description. Given the file name I suppose the view is toward the south or else the file is named wrongly or obscurely. Not knowing which, I've removed "looking northeast towards Furnace Creek" from the label. Herostratus (talk) 21:29, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

" the location of a top secret chemical and biological research station"

OK, both chem and bio research go on there. But that's implausible unless the *purpose* of the "secret chemical and biological research station" is to do bio-chemical (or "biochemical") research", more naturally described as a "bio-chemical ..." or "biochemical..." research station. I shall check for an existing ref supporting the odd locution, and return here, not to apologize for my reasonable surmise, but to denounce here the colleague's presumable failure to note that their wording here failed to heed the example of a presumably better educated and/or more professionally-behaving colleague or source. (No, one need not be a professional to edit here. All are welcome, but all could, and IMO should, strive to emulate the attention to precision that, sadly, few but professionals succeed well at it: it calls for motivation, but such motivation is not often found without the motivating force of society-relative rewards, so "no blame attaches" JerzyA (talk) 12:39, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
