replies: text: The upload just took an awfully long time. I'll add another photo looking up from the bottom of the cave over the weekend. This was my first attempt at adding a photo; feedback would be appreciated.Stubb 10:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the links on uploading photos. I have several photos of Golondrinas from caving trips to the area and will try uploading one this evening. As for the citation problem, Caves of the Inter-American Highway should list two authors: William H. Russell and Terry W. Raines. Due to some unknown mistake on my part, Terry W. Raines doesn't appear in the result. Does anything look obviously incorrect to you? Thanks in advance for your help. Stubb 14:37, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes, and it now does. The policy is to judge each on its merits and then merge, redirect or delete as appropriate. (I fixed your ref problem too) Yomanganitalk 16:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree. At one time this article was "Sotano de las Golondrinas" - the correct name, but someone, without discussing it here, renamed it Cave of the Swallows. Cavers knew about it for many years and respected the Spanish name. More recently some Americans translated its name into English and began to call it Cave of the Swallows. I think it should be moved back.  Senor Cuete (talk) 17:59, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

message: The pit was not discovered in 1966.  Evans and crew deserve credit for being
the first crew to descend (in '67, IIRC), but the thing was known by the locals for hundreds
for thousands of years.  There's even a story that some French crew may have been
the first white guys (FWIW) to see it.
Also, it's not anywhere near the deepest 'cave' in NA or the world.  It's nearly
the deepest PIT on the planet.  Many caves are several times deeper.

message: You know, we're in America, for Christ's sake!  This isn't France.  All our dimensions should be in feet and miles, etc.  For the hand-wringing bedwetting liberal revisionsists, we can put meters and kilograms in parentheses.  It shouldn't be the other way around!12.89.124.50 (talk) 17:27, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Who is "we"? What about all non-North Americans who read English but are located elsewhere (say, New Zealand) that use the metric system? This is a SCIENTIFIC article, and we use the metric system of measurement. And as one Frenchman said, "now go away before I taunt you a second time-a!" 50.111.36.238 (talk) 18:24, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
