[edit] Photo?

Too bad there is not a photo to help illustrate on that which the trap itself looks like. Berniethomas68 23:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

There's a photo in the Mail Tribune article in the references, but I put a {{reqphotoin}} template here so eventually maybe someone will take a free use one. Katr67 23:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Aparently, the Mail Tribune's enlarged image does not work now. But I went on a hike and got a winter photo of the trap today for the public domain, and put it where you set the request photo in. I noticed a message that I didn't supply the right tags for the image somewhere, about copyright stuff. I'm still very rusty at some of that stuff. Maybe someone else would care to save the image and help me submit it down the line if it gets deleted. Maybe someone knows how to go and magage the tags correctly now.Mdvaden 05:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
I think I replaced the image properly now.Mdvaden 05:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External Link description: addition of GPS

Added "GPS Coordinates" to one external link because the page includes GPS coordinates also. 24.216.246.76 02:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Word smithing

Only a suggestion - its not my article of course - but the phrase "no-longer-extant organization" is a bit clumsy...Maybe "defunct" would be better? Engr105th 23:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

With all due respect (and see also WP:OWN):
Thank you for your suggestion. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). Katr67 23:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Thnx...I've remarked on the "Talk" pages for a while now but have not delved into trying to edit articles. I'll look at the rules. Just didn't want to over-step into someones article or work :) Engr105th 03:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
