[edit] Mount Hamilton

Hi. Back in May, you added, "Mount Hamilton once was the taller peak of all these nearby peaks [Kepler, Isabel, and Copernicus], but the summit was flattened for the observatory construction." Based on the topo map and the observatory's website[1] [2], I'm inclined to change this to say that Copernicus is the main summit of Mt. Hamilton, with Observatory and Kepler Peaks as lesser summits. Isabel is a separate mountain.

Do you really think they cut 147 feet off the top of Observatory Peak? Looking at the map, that seems unlikely to me, and the history page says, "Fraser and a crew of thirteen men began blasting the top from Mount Hamilton's steep peak to create a level spot for the observatory's Main Building. 'Every square foot of available surface [created] involved the removal of a prism of hard rock one foot on the base and from 10 to 32 feet high,' Floyd later wrote. Nearly a ton of black powder went to the job, and all told nearly 70,000 tons of rock were blasted free and moved by hand to clear the top." Estimating rock at 3 tons / meter³, 70,000 tons is ~23,000 m³ ~= (30 m)³ ~= (100 ft)³.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Maple Global.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Maple Global.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BigDT 13:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
