[edit] NPOV

I'll admit it, I am employed by baldy. I have tried to present the resort with as much of a NPOV as possible, but due to my personal biases from love for the mountain, I am concerned that I may have overcompensated somewhat and perhaps given the mountain a bad face. I want to present the resort as competitive while still discussing its flaws. If anyone has any advice, or just wants to express whether or not I succeeded, I'd appreciate it.

  • Honestly, you didn't do that good of a job making this NPOV. Including things like exclaimation points and the like makes the article seem more like an advertisement and less like an encyclopedia entry.
If you want to criticize a particular author's work, check the history for their particular edits. If you investigate, you will see that my contribution contains no exclamation points, and what I consider to be an even balance between the pros and cons of the mountain. Sorry to clutter the talk page with this, but I don't appreciate unfair accusations. -Shaggorama 04:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Somehow this does not appear to be the name of the ski area. Seems that the name is Mt. Baldy. I could see moving this to Mt. Baldy (ski area). Vegaswikian 08:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

That'd probably a better name. -Willmcw 08:57, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Although it is a pretty goofy name, I can almost assure you the proper name for the resort is "Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts." Although "M. Baldy" may be a better name, I'm pretty sure it is just a nickname for the resort, since it is the only resort on the mountain, and the full name (if I was right) is just kinda lame. The website does refer to the resort almost exclusively as "Mt. Baldy," which seems to disagree with me. I'll investigate with the resort office as soon as I have an opportunity.Shaggorama 11:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
quick initial research: The heading of the employment page is "MtBaldy Ski Lifts Job Opportunities," the application refers to the corporation as "Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, Inc.," and heading on the return address for the app is "Mt Baldy Ski Lifts." Shaggorama 11:19, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
