message: I'm not going to make a change as I don't know the area, but a list of Gaelic place names gives Suilven as "pillar mountain", not just "pillar", which seems likely given the form of the word. 212.159.59.41 (talk) 09:01, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the Gaelic name Sùilebheinn would indeed appear to be a combination of a Norse word meaning "pillar" (cf. Icelandic súla) and the Gaelic beinn (mountain). Have edited the article accordingly. -- Picapica (talk) 22:59, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Sgùrr Alasdair

message: The claim that the Alasdair summit is the sharpest in the Cuillin range is simply not true, and IIRC the short distance from col to summit is easy and not particularly exposed by Cuillin standards. The stone shoot is not particulatly comfortable, but there are no technical difficulties. Viewfinder (talk) 18:19, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Your comments are POV, and not my recollection of the summit peak. I agree most of the Cuillin peaks are highly exposed, but in general terms, it is exposed, hence the comment. WP is for the general population and not for climbers. Peterlewis (talk) 18:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

text: I did not say that SA was the sharpest, and have removed that comment. Gillean is exposed like most Cuillen peaks, and there is also the same problem of single file approach from my last trip to that summit. Mountains out of molehills? Peterlewis (talk) 20:11, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Let's stick to the words of the source. If you want to use the word "exposed", supply your own source. The exposure is already implicit earlier in the paragraph. Although you did not add "sharpest", you reinstated it after I removed it. Viewfinder (talk) 20:24, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  FWIW, I'm more a walker than a 'mountaineer' (and definitely not a climber) but I've done a fair few tops on Skye, in Scotland generally and in Cumbria. I walked up the Great Stone Chute to the summit of Alasdair a few weeks ago (June 2012) and, although not a breeze, it presents no difficulty to a fit agile walker. I agree it is not the 'sharpest' summit in the Cuillins and that the scramble up from the col is - comparitively - easy. I don't recall it being a 'one at a time' route (except, possibly, for one section of a few yards). IMO it is neither encyclopedic (nor helpful) to present subjective judgement as fact.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.172.151.18 (talk) 10:56, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Peter Strauss Ranch

message: On Wiki article about actor Peter Strauss is said that he donated the ranch to Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and not sold it. How is it? by PStrauss-fan
The National Park Service site says:
*Actor Peter Strauss was deeply moved by the area’s natural beauty while filming the mini-series “Rich Man, Poor Man” at Malibou Lake in 1976. He purchased the property and restored the site to its original splendor, living here until 1983. Due to his sensitivity and concern for the natural environment, Strauss sold the ranch to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. The National Park Service purchased the ranch in 1987 as part of Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, dedicated to the preservation of our natural and cultural history. 
The identical text is on the SMMC site. It may be that he sold the property at below-market value, which would be a partial donation. -Will Beback · † · 01:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: So, after my correction, I see that "gymnastics" also appears as a "tenant". Well, again, there is no SDSU gymnastics team. However, the way the tenants are listed, it's unclear whether they mean "Aztecs", "Basketball (in general)", "volleyball (in general)", and "gymnastic (in generral". The latter could actually all be true in that the gym has hosted youth gymnastics meets over the years. It's gymnastics. Just not SDSU gymnastics. Any thoughts?

Talk:Leblanc process

message: I have modified my text in view of the fact that my information was admittedly a bit thin.  My 1945 Brittanica says that "most commercial K2CO3" was made by Leblanc process, but the article can't be dated.  A 1964 textbook (Morris & Cooper Intermediate In organic Chemistry, Cassell & Co) says "K2CO3 is manufactured by 1) LP, 2) electrolytic methods".  Again, one can't be sure whether the process was in fact out of use by 1964.  1970s textbooks (shows my age) don't mention LP.  None of this is worth citing.  I put in the original edit because the article seems to ignore the fact that LP was (and is? BaS, etc) used for products other than Na2CO3.  Citation is not required in the case of "common knowledge".  I guess most of the rest of the article comes into this category.  I will re-expand it if I stumble across better info. . . .LinguisticDemographer 11:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Piedmont Middle School

message: This article has been greatly expanded and improved thanks to the single handed efforts of Emiellaiendiay.  It needs to be re-rated at once. Since I am a competitor in the "Jumpaclass" project, i am loath to perform the final evaluation, but Emiellaiendiay has asked me to participate in the evaluation and thus i offer the following input so that another editor can hopefully finalize the re-evaluation swiftly.
At present the article has:
*Satisfactory NPOV
*Satisfactory images
*Satisfactory references for B class
*Prose: Well written
*Comprehensiveness: Generally this is OK.  The article could use more information on physical plant (e.g. square footages of buildings, and major facilities architectural style discussion, elaboration on the concept of "closed").  This facilities/architecture aspect is the only area where i think B class is in any doubt, although the photos help a lot here.
In summary the article now stands at "Start" or "B" Class.  If it were up to me, i would be inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt and award a "B", but desirably, someone else can finalize this review. Regards. Anlace 18:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Pine Mountain Lake, California

message: This is a great place to live. My friend rented it for a week and invited me. There is a really nice like that you can swim, kayak, sail, and boat in. My friend's uncle told me the school looked nice, and the people there are very friendly. The houses are fairly inexpensive, and you can see animals like deer, foxes, and raccoons there. It seems like a great place to live and/or retire.

Talk:Pine Valley Creek Bridge

message: The article refers to the "spans" of the bridge being 1,691 ft and 1,741 ft long, and the infobox also has the "longest span" at 1,691 ft.

thread_title:  history- upper campus 

message: Is this one of the sections that was vandalized? 
Also, I am not sure why this is a good section to have? Unless there was an extremely notable graduate. 
My concerns for this section are:
*Privacy concerns for the named graduates (did they consent to the listing?)
*Minor "fame" just clutters the section and takes away from the good stuff.
*This wikipedia article should not end up being an alumni board, there are other places for that.
*There is too much possibility of abuse for that section.
All that being said, I would strike the entire section and maybe mention Charles Oliver, John Chu and Larisa Oleynik. True famous alums.
I'll check back in a few weeks and see if there is any other discussion before I move to make the edits.
Don't get me wrong, I knew and/or taught most of the students in that list and they have great accomplishments. This article should not be about getting your name in Wikipedia, but about Pinewood School. 
How has notability been established for people living in Notable Alumni section?  The burden should be on establishing notability for placing them there and not the other way around.  If notability cannot be established, they should be deleted.

Talk:Randy Napoleon

message: A reception section is normal for an album, but there are better ways of incorporating the information that's in the one on this page into a biographical article such as this one. I suggest integrating the album descriptions (eg, who's on them, the instrumentation, the nature of the material) into the Career section. Then crate a "Style" or "Playing style" section and put descriptions (not non-descriptive praise) of his playing in there. And cut the rest, including everything that's not in English (if this is to be included, it must be translated, because this is the English Wikipedia), because long lists or sections of little but laudatory quotations are not desirable. I can provide some detailed examples if that would help, or look at some of the Featured or Good Articles that are jazz biographies (there's a list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Jazz).

replies: text: That is one of the flaws of the LA Times mapping project -- drawing lines down the middle of long established commercial thoroughfares.

Talk:Pit River

message: In working on making the Columbia River page ready for FA nomination the idea that only a few, perhaps three rivers "cut through" the Cascades has come up as wanting clarification (see talk page thread here: Talk:Columbia River#Removed text). It used to be that three Wikipedia pages said there were four rivers that cut through the Cascades--the Columbia, Fraser River, Pit River and the Klamath River. Skookum1 argued against the Fraser River being included since the Cascades end south of the Fraser. For a long time there were just three rivers said to cut through. Now the Klamath River page says it is "one of only a few" and that the others are the Columbia, Pit, Umpqua River, and Rogue River (Oregon). I don't think any of these pages provides a source for these sort of statements. In the past when the topic came up people argued by logic and looking at maps. But logic and maps only go so far. The Pit and Klamath at least seem logical to me. The Umpqua and Rogue don't as much--if they cut through the Cascades than doesn't the Skagit River also? Maybe the Willamette River too? In any case logic only gets you so far. In trying to get the Columbia River up to FA quality I wanted to source the claim but have been unable to find a source that says what rivers "cut through" (or breach, pass through, whatever) the Cascades. It is not hard to find sources that say the Klamath, Umpqua, and Rogue rivers originate in the Cascades though. To resolve this minor and nitpicky point I'm posting this question here: Can anyone find a good source to back up these kind of statements? Thanks. Pfly (talk) 20:50, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Places of interest in the Death Valley area

message: The content in "Places of interest..." is stronger and more complete than the stub article.  Either "Devil's Golf Course"
should just redirect here (which is what I propose, but I'm not stuck on that solution), or the content here on "Places..." should be used to rewrite the DGC specific article.  My sense is that by the time you did that you would still want 90%+ of the content of that article here in "Places...", which is why I suggest the merge.  --Joe Decker 07:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The content on Devil's Golf Course in "Places of interest..." is almost entirely copied from the NPS web site. It's not a copyright violation, because US government publications are not copyrighted, but... In any case I've rewritten the Devil's Golf Course article to be a bit more encyclopedic, and to link to a better photo I found on the commons. It's still not much longer than what's here, though, so unless it can be expanded more the only argument I have to offer for not merging is that having a separate article makes it easier to find via :Category:Salt pans. —David Eppstein 20:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
