Talk:Pinus lambertiana

message: The high elevation pine survey is in peer review right now, but the results are very disturbing.  Basically white pine blister rust is rapidly killing the white pines in California.  Many areas in the north have infection rates over 90%.  White pines are being replaced by other species.  I guess this isn't too surprising though as it has happened in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.  I will will post the final paper results once they are complete.

Talk:Suisun Bay

message: The article states "a petroleum pipeline operated by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners ruptured, spilling an estimated 1,500 barrels (240 m²) of diesel," but barrels are a measure of volume and square meters are a measure of area. 1500 barrels is roughly equivalent to 176 cubic meters, so it's not clear to me what 240 square meters is referring to, but it's certainly not the volume of diesel spilled (even if we assume the square meters were accidentally written in place of cubic meters). Furthermore it's probably not the area covered by the spilled diesel since that would be a very thick spill, and even in the unlikley event it is intentionally talking about area it shouldn' be written in a manner that suggests a mere unit conversion from barrels.
This had been changed to read 1,500 barrels (176 m3), but when I see something in that form, I assume the second figure is equivalent to the first in the new units, not an indication of the size of the first unit.  So I've changed it to read 264,000m3, which is 1500 * 176.  Rojomoke (talk) 16:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Expanded article

message: The McLaughlin Mine section says the mine was the largest emitter of mercury into the environment.  In fact, the EPA report talks about releases, which includes "off-site" releases of mercury (or other toxics) for disposal.  As written, this article (and others, I'm sure) implies that mercury pollution of the environment is/was a problem with the mine.  Not true. I alert editors to this POV problem here in hope that this article and others will be properly edited to avoid this bias. --S. Rich (talk) 17:49, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I added some details about the mine, but it should really be spun off to its own page -- it has some geological connections to Sulphur Bank, but is some 22 miles distant, and was a notable gold mine.

thread_title:  McLaughlin Mine 

message: This wiki states "Another theory is of geothermal springs being the source for inorganic mercury in Clear Lake, as there are abundant springs emanating from the lake bed" referencing Suchanek et al, 2008: "Mercury In Abiotic Matrices Of Clear Lake, California ... ,2008 p.2 of PDF." The referenced article outlines this "theory" of another author. The correct article to cite would be Natural cause for mercury pollution at Clear Lake, California, and paleotectonic inferences, J. C. Varekamp, A. F. Waibel, Article, Geology, 1987. Suchanek et al are, in actuality, arguing against this "theory" stating, "lake bed springs do not represent a signiﬁcant independent source of Hg loading to Clear Lake." The next sentence of this wiki states, "Deep core samples of sediments taken in the 1980s show peaks of mercury during prehistoric times that 'likely originated from natural processes such as volcanic and/or tectonic activity within the Clear Lake Basin'" while citing Suchanek et al for a second time. While this quote is indeed from Suchanek et al., Suchanek et al are citing Varekamp and Waibel, 1987. As it stands, this section is biased toward a non-anthropogenic Hg source, citing sources from outside of "UC Davis studies" to make the point. The quote I gave above ("lake bed springs do not represent a signiﬁcant independent source of Hg loading to Clear Lake.") from Suchanek et al should be included in this section as this is one of the major findings of the "UC Davis studies."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ulfgarnaiilo (talk • contribs) 04:27, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

message: I've added a  tag to the article. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "Black Acts" were 49 acts of the Scots Parliament passed in 1584, one of which is most famous as an assertion of James VI's control over the clergy. These were negated by the "Golden Act" of 1592. Is there another famous/notable "Black Acts", printed in 1566? If so, remove my tag and please comment here (I'll return to read it).

message: While New Helvetia covers the history of Sutter's Fort, both articles quite short. It would be an improvement to have the information of both articles hosted merely on one. Fort Langley National Historic Site and Fort Ross, California offer great examples of historical stations on the Pacific Coast that comprehensively explain the past and present. While New Helvetia was the name used by Sutter, most mentions of it I've seen tend to refer to the post as Sutter's Fort. Voltaire's Vaquero (talk) 21:18, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Helvetia merger 

message: Here's the two that caught my eye before I even scrolled down:
The painting, which is called "contemporaneous," shows the fort pretty much on the river; maybe 100' off the shore. It's actually a mile away from the rvr, as Sutter was warned by local Indians of flooding that reached that far. (He actually wanted to build it on what's now Old Sac's Railroad Museum, but the flooding dangers forced him to move inshore.)
"The fort is restored to it's original condition." That's not even close to right; half of what was the fort is now under a hospital, the current "restored" fort is about 1/3 the original. (Perhaps ironically, the paining is also turned 90 degrees; the rvr passed the relative short wall, but because of the limits of the reconstruction it "would" now pass the long walls.)
I know none of you have ever been there (and most of you couldn't find it on a map if it were circled with big arrows, probably couldn't even find Sac itself without the circles and arrow), but at least don't tell a story that is utterly fantasy...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.65.81.51 (talk) 19:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
