Talk:San Jacinto Monument

message: Q. Is the San Jacinto Monument an obelisk, or is the top too ornate compared to a simple pyramid for it to be so classified? DFH 19:07, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Obelisk ? 

message: The coordinates for The San Jacinto Monument have been rounded and, as a result, are off.  The listed coordinates are about 1 mile WNW in the shipping channel.  The actual coordinates are N 29° 44.721 W 095° 04.983 (UTM: 15R E 298561 N 3292385). Since I do not have the ability to change them I am leaving this message.  For more information see:

thread_title:  Incorrect Coordinates 

message: The description section describes the base as having an area 125 square feet and containing a museum.  Now unless the museum consists of a smallish size kid's bedroom I don't think that is possible.  I think the entire section may be confusing a square of a given a length per side as square feet.  A square with a side length of 125 feet is certainly not 125 square feet(its 15,625 square feet), and I think this error is compounded in the entire section.  As I have don't have access to the actual dimensions of the memorial I was loathe to make the change myself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.1.74.177 (talk) 00:02, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  The description section's listings for area 

message: The San Jacinto monument is NOT in Deer Park it is in La Porte. If you look at the web site http://www.sanjacinto-museum.org/ for the museum, which is at the monument you will see that the address is One Monument Circle, La Porte. It is not "near the city of Deer Park" it is IN the City of La Porte. In fact the top of it is used as the header on the city of La Porte web site http://www.ci.la-porte.tx.us/ Perhaps there is some confusion as to the meaning of "city" in Texas. A "City" in Texas does not have to be a built up urban area it is just the land within the city limits. There is no "unincorporated area" in La Porte.  I live in La Porte, in a subdivision off the same road as the monument / battleground and I assure you it is within the La Porte City Limits. Deer Park begins at the corner of Underwood Road and Pasadena Blvd. The park, monument, battleground, museum, and battleship are all well within La Porte territory.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.139.150.19 (talk) 17:27, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Should this sentence form of began be written like this? This might be incorrect but I don't know how the reference wrote it.
