Talk:Heart Mountain (Wyoming)

message: I wonder how long the landslide lasted.  Was it a matter of days?  Years?  Eons?  If anyone knows, this would make a good addition to the article.
:Just added new info that was in today's news. Researchers estimate it lasted 30 minutes. howcheng  {chat} 23:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: From what I can see, the Storegga Slide is much larger, although it happened on the ocean floor. An area the size of Iceland ( 100,000 km² ) slid in three slides, which makes the total are roughly 75 times greater the the slide that created Heart Mountain. Any comment on this is apprciated.
:I just went by what the source said. Perhaps we call it "the largest landslide on land ever discovered"? howcheng  {chat} 15:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, going back to the source, I see that it does say "the biggest rockslide on land ever discovered." I'll add that to the article. howcheng  {chat} 15:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Largest slide? 

message: The original name of this mountain was Hart Mountain (as in hart, or deer).  I was never clear if the mountain was named for such a animal, or after some person with the last name Hart.  As late as the 1950's and 1960's locals were still correcting the spelling, but it seems that the incorrect spelling has won out.  Because of the Relocation Center there was a train stop there, and the railroad sign for the stop read "Hart Mountain"  The Bureau of Reclamation, however, named their irrigation project there, and its feeder canal, Heart Mountain.

replies: text: That's pretty interesting, but we'd need some sort of cited source to back that one up. If you can find a book or an online source that has that information, you should put it in the article. howcheng  {chat} 16:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correction to the name of the mountain 

message: I just added the requested photo tag - I think we should get some pictures of the mountain from the ground. :)  There is a not very goot shot of it from ground level in the relocation center article, but I'll bet there are probably some better ones in the public domain.  If not, we'll try to track down some Wikipedian in the Bighorn Basin or Cody to swing by and get us a shot.  Its a hard mountain to miss. - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 17:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
