Talk:Ice Mountain

Ice Mountain (disambiguation)
Please see this GNIS search and note another in BCGNIS, also note Ice Mountain is the local name for Mount Edziza (see this, and note on of its subpeaks is Ice Peak (use the proxiomity search on the previous link) and was also a name used by Alexander "Buck" Choquette for his store on the Stikine (as his postal address, no less), and was also his name for the Great Glacier. I suspect translation-names may exist in Spanish and Tibetan/Nepali etc....Skookum1 (talk) 16:09, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Question
Why does the talus bit link to scree? ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:16, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * In geology, those are synonyms. Lady  of  Shalott  06:15, 8 November 2009 (UTC)


 * What are "ice storage strategies"? Was the ice present year round in the past? That bit is confusing for me. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:53, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Child, thank you so much for all your edits and suggestions. I appreciate your time and efforts in making this a better article. Talus links to scree, as scree is the more widely used term. As you can see from the talus disambiguation page, the talus discussed in this article is the same as is detailed in Wikipedia's article for scree.--Caponer (talk) 01:14, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * For centuries, ice has been available year round, but in recent years, the ice mostly disappears in the late Spring/early Summer. I know this because of my local knowledge, but need additional sources to support this in the article, hence the confusion.--Caponer (talk) 01:14, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Suggestions for improvement: organization
In reviewing this article, I find that it suffers from a lack of flow and organization. I have given this article a "C" rating since it contains a wealth of information, but the article could use some improvement. I apologize for not taking care of these things myself, but I feel I do not know enough about the content and direction of the article to make edits which others editors of this article may not feel are good.

I would suggest changing the order of the sections to start with the more important aspects like the history and geology before delving into minor topics like flora and fauna. Also, I find having 3 separate infoboxes to be unhelpful. I think the "Nature preserve" infobox is most helpful, but because the title of the article is "Ice Mountain" and not "Ice Mountain Preserve", I am uncertain as to what is best. --Tea with toast (talk) 21:32, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Allocetraria oakesiana photo
There is a photo of Allocetraria oakesiana on the commons, File:Allocetraria oakesiana-1.jpg, growing at Ice Mountain. Is there a good way to incorporate it into the article? --Gyrobo (talk) 18:01, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
