Mount Hamilton

Hi. Back in May, you added, "Mount Hamilton once was the taller peak of all these nearby peaks [Kepler, Isabel, and Copernicus], but the summit was flattened for the observatory construction." Based on the topo map and the observatory's website[1] [2], I'm inclined to change this to say that Copernicus is the main summit of Mt. Hamilton, with Observatory and Kepler Peaks as lesser summits. Isabel is a separate mountain.

Do you really think they cut 147 feet off the top of Observatory Peak? Looking at the map, that seems unlikely to me, and the history page says, "Fraser and a crew of thirteen men began blasting the top from Mount Hamilton's steep peak to create a level spot for the observatory's Main Building. 'Every square foot of available surface [created] involved the removal of a prism of hard rock one foot on the base and from 10 to 32 feet high,' Floyd later wrote. Nearly a ton of black powder went to the job, and all told nearly 70,000 tons of rock were blasted free and moved by hand to clear the top." Estimating rock at 3 tons / meter³, 70,000 tons is ~23,000 m³ ~= (30 m)³ ~= (100 ft)³.

Welcome

Hi, Hydrogen Iodide, and welcome to WikiProject
San Francisco Bay Area!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles relevant to the Bay Area. Here are some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve Bay Area-related articles, so if people ask for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page. It is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, which you are welcome to participate.
  • Our system for improving lower-quality articles is Jumpaclass. If you'll be editing stub, start, or B-class articles, consider using Jumpaclass to track your progress.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign Bay Area topics.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

Again, welcome! We hope you enjoy working on this project.

Mount Tamalpais: Geology and climate

I like your contributions on climate and geology of Mt Tam, but could you provide citations for your climatological info? If you don't understand "ref" format, you can leave simple bracketed URLs as citations and I'll put them in ref format.

Thanks again – Peter G Werner 09:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

- No problem, you're welcome. Hydrogen Iodide 17:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Jumpaclass

This is an invitation to use WP:BAY's Jumpaclass option for improving articles. If you're working on any Bay Area-related stub, start, or B-class articles, simply add their names to the list, and if any of the articles improve a class within a week, you'll be recognized for your contributions. If you have any questions about how it works, post on the talk page or on mine. Thanks for reading! — Emiellaiendiay 21:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

100 Pine Center Speedy Delete tag removal

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Morenooso 06:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

-A speedy delete tag is not necessary. Hydrogen Iodide

Tulutson Glacier

I've posted a comment on the Talk page for this article which you created. In brief, the official name is "Crater Glacier" and the article should be renamed. I thought you should have a chance to comment before any changes are made.

Thanks. Seattle Skier 22:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Please provide an edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.  V60 VTalk · VDemolitions 21:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

line breaks

I noticed you added a significant number of lines to the W Dallas Victory Hotel and Residences article — a much easier way to keep things from cluttering.. especially with image/section overlap here on the Wikipedia .. is to use the following code: {{!}}. It acts similar to the HTML <br style="clear: all;"/> -- drumguy8800 C T 07:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

digit grouping

Hi Skyscraper Phoenix, I noticed you did some housecleaning edits at Pacific Intertie and Intermountain. Thanks for the good work. One thing to consider: not everyone uses commas as their digit grouping separator—some use periods: that's why I omit separators where they are ambiguous. That is, does 5,327 mean five thousand something, or five something? However, a number like 2.832.183 is clearly two million something. I realize WP:MOSNUM says "use commas", but it also says for "large numbers". Regards, —EncMstr 23:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion. Hydrogen Iodide 23:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi. Could I ask you to please add edit summaries to your contributions? It makes it easier for those doing recent changes patrol to better identify vandalism from decent edits and for other editors who watchlist pages to know what changes have happened in the articles they watch. Much appreciated.--MONGO 05:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I guess even small edits need summaries. Hydrogen Iodide 05:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
For the record, everything else you are doing looks excellent.--MONGO 05:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. Hydrogen Iodide 05:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Tagging of Kunlun Shan

Please can you justify the tagging of Kunlun Shan on its talk page, and give some examples of inadequately referenced material, so that I can apply appropriate references and remove your tag. Thanks. Viewfinder 01:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying, I have added a couple references and removed the tag. Hydrogen Iodide 02:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
