Thanks for recreating the article. I began it as a stub so that there would be something to build upon but it kept getting deleted. I'm glad you were able to do the work to make it a proper article. Do you ski or snowboard at mammoth by any chance?- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 18:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I live in Newport Beach but I have a season pass at mammoth and try to get in about 10 snowboarding days there a year. I think its the best resort I've been to.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk

File:Mount Wilson from south.jpg
File:Mount Wilson from south.jpg appears to show Mount Harvard (or another foothill), rather than Mount Wilson. If I'm not mistaken, Wilson is left (west) of the photo, and is not really visible in this photo. The shape of Wilson is characteristic - it's an east-west ridge.

Empty Category: Montane?
"You added a couple of articles to this empty category, but never created it". Sorry, I thought the Bot does it automatically. I'm trying to sort out how to create the category. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 07:04, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Mountains category has Climbing; Hills; Mountain ranges; Mountaineering. Montane would have the interactions between montane grasslands and shrublands, Temperate coniferous forest and people, this interaction repeats itself in the Himalaya, Alps, Rocky Mountains, Andes and Rift Valley. So: Alpine tundra, sub-alpine meadow, alpine climate, climate of the Alps, climate zones by altitude, altitudinal zonation, mountain climate, Tierra templada or temperate land, Tierra fria or cold land, Tierra helada or frozen land, tierra nevada, firn line, snow line, tree line, krummholz, Glacier. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 07:15, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "I think the best thing to do is to create Category:Montane ecology (analogous to Category:Aquatic ecology), and make it be a child of both Category:Ecology and Category:Mountains". Sounds ok for me, thx. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 07:45, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for fixing those elevation numbers on Freel Peak, and I need to ask you if you know of any information concerning the Freel Roadless Area. I'm working on an article about the Dardanelles and Freel Roadless Areas ( I've combined these two into a single article since they are only separated by highway corridor 89.) I always get at least a second source of information for a subject and can find ZERO on Freel-now Dardanelles is called Meiss Country-no problem there-the Lake Tahoe Management Unit's website has stuff on it, but no Freel.Can you help with this by chance (fingers crossed)????

re: Citation needed tag in Marble Mountain Wilderness article
Just a note on this- I had a citation there but it was removed when MKauffman edited it. Here is the original section w/ footnotes also: Also unique to the Marble Mountain Wilderness is the number of different coniferous tree species growing in close proximity. There are seventeen species in all, more than in any other place in the world outside arboreta and gardens.[4] The subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa), which is rare in California (although common in the Pacific Northwest region), grows along the granite moraines at the head of watersheds above 6,000 feet (1,800 m) in open areas surrounding lakes and meadows.[5]

Citation Footnotes: 4 ^ Brewer's spruce, Engelmann spruce, dwarf juniper, incense ceder, Shasta red fir, white fir, subalpine fir, foxtail pine, sugar pine, Ponderosa pine, whitebark pine, knobcone pine, lodgepole pine, Western white pine, Western hemlock, Pacific yew, Jeffrey pine. List and statement are from USFS map Klamath National Forest dated 1994.

 * My writing is atrocious, but the reworded sentence currently in place is even worse. I will not, repeat, not, get into an edit war with anyone, period. I just wanted you to know that the "footnote fetish" editor, Marcia Wright, did indeed place a citation after the sentence in her version.
 * Thank you for responding. I was not aware that editors could cite their own "personal experiences"... so if I was a published  non-fiction author on a subject, I could cite my own book then, or is that different from a personal recollection?   Marcia Wright (talk) 08:10, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * PS Also note that this external link( returns a 404-page not found. Marcia Wright
 * Hiker395, Thanks for your thoughts/response. As for the map, I have (and the citation is from) the actual paper map of Klamath NF, you know, the impossible-to-refold again forest map type? I will research some of the books that are cited by MKauffmann, if thay are valid, all is well and can be kept in the articles.
 * Have you tried the above URL? Did it work? Let me know okay? Dead links are not tolerated either.

Wikimedia commons
Could you help me? What is the standard procedure to get a language GNU image listed in commons? I rememnber I saw something, but my searching was unfruitful :( --Chris.urs-o (talk) 11:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello Hike. No, u did not really answer it so. I want to use an image on pl.wikipedia and one on de.wikipedia on en.wikipedia, but they are not on commons wikimedia. I thought I can add {commons}, but I might be wrong. So I decided to ask. Any short cut? --Chris.urs-o (talk) 17:53, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Pics
Hi Hike395, I really like the pictures you added under Ecology of the North Cascades. ;) Jsaltz (talk) 03:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Citation
Hi Hike395. Here is the web address from Dr. Warren Gold at the University of WA that cites the ecosystems in the Subalpine Fir Ecoregion for the Ecology of the North Cascades page: http://faculty.washington.edu/wgold/bis358/012808.pdf Is that a sufficient source to reference? Thanks Jsaltz (talk) 05:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Species List
Hi Hike395. The list is very long, took forever to type but it is specific to ALW. Although I'm sure many of the species exist north of there. I had to cross reference that list with the Fish & Wildlife's Species of Concern list to compile the list already posted. It's up to you. I'll be glad to post it wherever you like. Any ideas on how to copy and paste into the Wiki edit page without losing my italics. I've already started going through my list so that the scientific names will come up italicized in the edit page because when I copied over the other list they lost the italics. Great job on all that cleaning up. Thank you Jsaltz (talk) 04:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

ALW Species
Hi Hike, I have an entire list of ALW vertebrates including scientific names which is cited, of course. Do you think I should add it to the ALW site or just leave as is? Thanks Jsaltz (talk) 17:54, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

ALW Edit
Good morning Hike395. I worked through the night adding more of my research to the ALW site. I have a 9am deadline for my work. However, I need to go back through like you did and create links and fix the duplicate references. I just wanted you to know that I plan to do that and I didn't want to create work for you. You have already been very helpful. As always, I welcome your input (and help). Thank you so much. Jsaltz (talk) 14:11, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi Hike395, I just wanted to thank you again. You don't know how much I appreciate your help. The site looks awesome, I love how you organized it. Best Jsaltz (talk) 07:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Wow
Awesome, thanks for all of the links. It probably would have taken me forever to do that. I will work on that. Jsaltz (talk) 04:55, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

ALW
Hi Hike395, I'm sorry if this isn't the best place (I'm still trying to figure this all out) to respond to the message you posted for me. I have tried very hard to make sure that nothing is taken verbatim except for what is quoted from the Wilderness Act itself which is in quotes. I have gave credit where credit is due, absolutely. I'm very glad that this site has people like you to make sure it contains credible material that isn't plagiarized. But I have taken a lot of pride in my work and have spent a lot of nights sleepless working on it. Please feel free to give advice, I appreciate it. Thank you. Jsaltz (talk) 04:01, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

ALW EDIT
Hi Hike395. I have just spent an entire quarter researching the ALW. For a project I am to edit the ALW Wikipedia. I am just getting familiar with editing on the Wik, this is my first time. Perhaps I did not enter correctly my sources but my material is very well referenced. Could you please help me to understand what I missed leading you to undo some of my work I have posted to the ALW Wik and perhaps suggest how I can make it right? Thank you. j —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsaltz (talk • contribs) 03:02, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Mount Rainier
Hi Hike395; May I ask your opinion of commons-inline, please? Also, I uploaded some high-resolution stitched mosaics of Mount Rainier; I like the resolution of the new image but the composition of the current Mount Rainier infobox image is appealing. Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 19:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I've used commons-inline when the commons box looks odd or cannot be nicely placed. If you wish to use it for Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, I don't mind.


 * I think I like the new stitched version better, because it shows more detail of The Mountain.


 * Also: I just finished a first draft of Ecology of the North Cascades --- feel free to add more pictures. I went through your pictures, looking for relevant photos taken near 47.5 degrees N, but I certainly don't know your pictures as well as you do.


 * Thanks! —hike395 (talk) 04:05, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your opinion on commons-inline.


 * Nice work on Ecology of the North Cascades! I'm pleased that you were able to use my photos and your selection looks good to me. I wonder if I might call your attention to File:SubalpineLarch_7717l.jpg, a photo that I like, that I have not been able to find a use for. Even better is File:Glacier-Lyman-Tamarack.jpg, but it is at 48.17°,-120.88°, in Glacier Peak Wilderness.


 * I agree regarding the Mount Rainier photo. Thank you, Walter Siegmund (talk) 23:55, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for all of your help on the article on Theodore Solomons. I am still new to contributing to Wikipedia and still learning. Thanks again! Dranster (talk)

Thanks for helping with the sierra national forest article, just like the dranster I'm new to this and was trying to create a more informative article. but i think i put in to much info :)  so thank you for your help.   P.S. I work for the sierra in fire and could provide lots more info. also could you look at the US Forest Service I added lots of info but again i think it could use some condensing I'm trying but have found it hard to figure out shat should stay or what should go.  --Vlarian559 (talk) 07:02, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Mount Baker; "Mount Tehama"
Talk395- Hannegan here. I think the Baker article is finished, for now. While cruising around wikipedia to read what has been said about Cascade calderas, I came across a "Mount Tehama" webpage. I don't know who uses this term, but the original name alluded to in the article, 'Brokeoff Mountain',is the accepted term in the geologic literature. There is a LOT of uncited and unfounded information on that page. I'd like to take this on, but first thought I'd consult with you [or with...whom?] about such a major revamping and how it might be done. Hannegan (talk) 01:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * thanks for getting back to me about this. Will take it on, and check out the other issues you raise. I think I better steer clear of the Geology of North Cascades subject, my plate is full.Hannegan (talk) 18:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

New Baker photo

Climate chart template
It's been ages since I've edited that template, so I'm not sure I have the skills to do it either! I could give it a try. Would you prefer that the box itself expands, or that the bars are scaled down? (The latter would make it more difficult to compare among different cities.) 12:04, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
