Talk:Ripple Rock

message: So, someone made a family anecdote into the last paragraph. Should it be deleted, or rewritten with another source, if there are any?

message: This article and the one on Seymour Narrows seem to contain essentially the same information, so I've proposed a merge. Anyone have any thoughts on which way to merge, or whether this is even a good idea at all? →smably 22:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I should have mentioned above that I think it makes more sense to merge this article into Seymour Narrows, because there are aspects unrelated to the rock that may be worth mentioning (tidal surges, use as a shipping corridor (?), etc). →smably 22:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I would oppose the merge. They're very separate entities as you mentioned in your previous comment. Jarfingle 01:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, you may be right. But if they are to remain separate, I think it's important to decide which information belongs in the Seymour Narrows article (the things I mentioned above were just examples of things that might belong in such an article, not real suggestions). If I understand correctly, the main significance of the Narrows was the presence of the rock, which was why it was so treacherous to ships. Is anyone likely to go looking for information about the Narrows without being interested in Ripple Rock? I am guessing that the answer is no, in which case it would make sense to merge this into the Narrows article. (Alternately: make this article specifically about the destruction of Ripple Rock, and move the other information to the Seymour Narrows article. Thoughts?) →smably 02:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I would support the merge, but only after seeing the article on Seymour Narrows. Given the small size of each article, merging them makes sense. Perhaps we could look at splitting them again if the combined article should grow to be unmanagably large. —INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 06:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Support - Most could go in Seymour Narrows including the a section on the destruction of Ripple Rock.  The Ripple Rock page could be a disabigulation page listing the album and the reef structure detailed on the Seymour Narrows page.--EarthPerson 17:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Just to note a close-up area map of Campbell River/Quadra Island/Seymour Narrows is what's called for here, not an RD-based BC-wide location map, which as elsewhere is largely pointless and totally irrespective of usual public perceptions of BC's landscape/locations.Skookum1 (talk) 17:43, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I would like to see a list of the names of the people who worked the Ripple Rock project.  I can name three, two of which I know are now deceased:
Herb Nason (1909-1993) 
Monte Meek, deceased
Tony Ricker
Is there anyone who worked the project who is still living?
Is there anyone of these or family members who know about the time when the explosion was nearly triggered prematurely by a goat biting the primer cord?  My father, Herb Nason, was the one who pried the goat's mouth open and freed the cord.
