Thank you for quality articles around the Geology of the Rocky Mountains and Lake Sammamish State Park, for improving and fixing templates, for welcoming and advising users, for your contributions from 2003 saying "the best part of editing WP is when several editors cooperate to make a high-quality article", such as The Three Sisters, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hi Hike395, do you have any interest in the Mount Edziza volcanic complex in BC? The reason I ask is because I know you've edited Mount Edziza in the past. I've been in the process of rewriting and expanding the Mount Edziza volcanic complex article in my sandbox for quite some time, having picked up in April after being relatively inactive since last October.

Hi Hike, do you think you could possibly implement template wrapping to accept all {{infobox person}} parameters for this particular template, as you've done with {{Infobox architect}} and others? Thanks, ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 00:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Note that the current manual of style at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images has (relatively recent) guidelines on the use of AI upscaling in articles:
AI upscaling software should generally not be used to increase the resolution or quality of an old or low-resolution image. Original historical images should always be used in place of AI upscaled versions. If an AI-upscaled image is used in an article, this fact should be noted in its caption.
I've restored the original images on articles where you recently replaced them with upscaled versions. Belbury (talk) 11:40, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi Hike395, I decided to continue the discussion here from my talk page so as not to be a bother towards the other person in the comment chain.
Last time we were talking about classifying the right photos into the right ecoregion pages vs subcategorizing the entire park. Today I decided to try and put that into practice. I'll provide two examples.
In the first example, I was categorizing photos from Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. This park is in a transition area between the Wasatch and Uinta Montane Forests Ecoregion and the Wyoming Basin Shrub Steppe Ecoregion. In this case, it wasn't too much of a challenge to distinguish between the two regions, because they have distinct characteristics. There were two photos that I categorized in both ecoregion pages (one was Flaming Gorge National Recreational Area - 49202160851.jpg). This was because they showed characteristics of both regions, i.e. conifer mountains and shrubby steppe in the same landscape photo.
In the second example, I was deciding what to do for Dinosaur National Monument. The One Earth Map has it categorized as Colorado Plateau Shrublands Ecoregion. But it can still be considered to be a part of the Uinta Mountain Range, so perhaps it could contain relevant images for the Wasatch and Uinta Montane Forests Ecoregion page too. Overall the One Earth Map is a solid guide in 9/10 cases, but I tend to refrain from using it as an infallible tool when making decisions of categorization. In this example, the characteristics between Wasatch and Uinta Montane Forests and Colorado Plateau Shrublands are a bit more blurred; at what exact point does one become the other? It's more of a gray area than the first example. I think that categorization can be done here, but this is an example where I would prefer to leave the decision to someone else.
For the most part, I would prefer to play it safe when it comes to categorization. There is bit of cleanup to do on my part, with respect to entire parks that I subcategorized, but I think this is generally how I plan to proceed. There are definitely plenty of places where the decision will not be as difficult, I plan to focus on those. Z3lvs (talk) 18:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, I added an article. I would appreciate you taking a look at Kaneiolouma Complex. Thanks, 〜 Adflatuss • talk 03:44, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for bringing this policy re:galleries to my attention. Is there ever a good situation to use an image gallery in a mountain-related article that you can think of? Maybe an article about a range (i.e., showing different peaks)? Just trying to get a sense for when it's appropriate. Teanaway (talk) 17:02, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi! This is regarding your edits to the article Western Ghats. A IP user had introduced a section called "Passes" and listed down some set of select passes as notable passes in the mountains without any citations or references. As a vastly experienced editor, you are well aware of the need for proper citations. I am trying to take the article to GA and have recently done a massive clean-up of the article. I have reverted back to the old revision for now. Hence, it would be helpful if you are moving sections please check for notability and proper citations as well. Thanks for your contributions and understanding on the subject! Magentic Manifestations (talk) 11:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I see I've been doing it wrong, thank you! Valereee (talk) 19:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
On30 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Red Sea mangroves, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that despite a global decline in mangrove forests, Red Sea mangroves have expanded in area since 1972? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Red Sea mangroves. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Red Sea mangroves), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
