Talk:Denali

Misidentified photo
The photo of Mt. McKinley in 1987 ( File:Mt.McKinley 1987.jpg ) doesn't appear to be McKinley/Denali. Not sure what that is, but it sure isn't Mt. McKinley. Will be removing it unless someone objects.Ron Clausen (talk) 12 December 2023.


 * I was just checking into this when you removed the photo. (Just FYI, it doesn't hurt to give people a week or two to respond.) In this case, though, I tend to agree. The image was obviously taken in winter, which means if it's Alaska then the sun would be to the south, or the right side of the pic. From that angle, it almost looks like a photo of the North Peak, but the background is all wrong. Especially the two bodies of water on the upper left and the upper right. Nothing like that around Denali, and even if one could argue that those are the glacial moraines, they'd still be facing the wrong directions. I'm pretty well convinced this photo is not Denali, nor even one of the surrounding mountains, so I support your removal.


 * It might not hurt to contact the uploader of the image just to ask where they got it from. I notice they attribute the author as a well-known professor of geology, who even has an article on German Wikipedia. I don't know if they are one and the same, but I don't see anywhere where the named author has given us permission to use it, unless the uploader is the author. I haven't found another copy of it on the internet anywhere either. It might be worth doing a little digging into, since this photo is used on other Wikipedias.

Former name of the mountain
Can I make it say “Mount McKinley redirects here”? Griffin Wilkins (talk) 07:16, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The question would be why? Usually when that is done it's because another article with a very similar name redirects here. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:50, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Just making a comment, the link for reference #12 is no longer active. Might be available on Wayback but not sure the right process to correct the issue.

 * I'm trying to get User:InternetArchiveBot to fix it now. It used to do these things automatically but apparently you can request it for specific pages now. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 19:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Well crap, it completed the task while I was writing that comment but didn't make any changes. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 19:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Ran it again with different settings, and it seems to have rescued a different dead link. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 19:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Wow, thanks for the quick response. I figured out how to edit link to add a archive link, I apologize if I interfered. I added a archive link to: https://web.archive.org/web/20080210130333/http://www.nps.gov/dena/upload/Brief%20Geology%20of%20Mt.pdf Webgyk343 (talk) 19:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Nice, we rescued two refs. Go team. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 19:44, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
