(formerly named San Miguel Hills^{[dr 1][dr 2]} because of the San Miguel land grant^{[dr 3]}, Los Picos GemelosinSpanish^{[dr 4]})

A good indication that this information is questionable is that the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) page for Twin Peaks lists six variant names for the location none of which are mentioned in the removed material.[1] The "islaiscreek.org" citation can be found on the Wayback Machine. The GNIS data for San Miguel Hills cited above gives coordinates south of Twin Peaks and east of Twin Peaks West. --DRoll (talk) 00:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

The most prominent radio tower is the Sutro Tower, which can seen from across the Bay.

Sutro Tower is not on Twin Peaks but is located between Twin Peaks and Mount Sutro. --DRoll (talk) 00:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Were they also called Las Papas? Steaming in through San Francisco's Golden Gate, last week, came the President McKinley, bearing a petite, blue-eyed German Fraulein of twenty-two. [...] she gazed at Las Papas, those twin, majestic mountains called "The Breasts."Time, 1928-06-11--87.162.38.138 (talk) 21:13, 25 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
