Explanation of photo revert

[edit]

The photo that User:Tillman added is dramatic, has artistic merit, and is high quality. However, I reverted the addition of the photo, because the older photo showed the subject of the article better. The older photo shows a meadow in front of Mount Dana, while the newer (more artistic) photo shows little, if any, meadow, and Mammoth Peak (?) in the background. I think the older photo is more suitable for an encyclopedia.

As a compromise, I create a Commons Gallery and placed the new photo as the first in the gallery. —hike395 (talk) 05:04, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 7 August 2018

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: move the pages to Dana Meadows (California) and Dana Meadows (Pakistan) at this time, per the discussion below. A disambiguation page has been created. Dekimasuよ! 20:09, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Donella "Dana" Meadows attracts more than ten times more visitors than the Dana Meadows in Yosemite National Park (67/day versus 4/day). What is more, there is also a place called Dana Meadows, Kaghan in Pakistan (4/day). Thus, I this suggest to redirect "Dana Meadows" to Donella Meadows and to specify the two places name with their country for clarity and consistency. If useful, we could also add Template:Distinguish at the top of those three pages. 144.85.248.148 (talk) 17:54, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change proposal: Also, I believe that the nickname "Dana Meadows" is much less common than "Donella Meadows". A Google search for "Donella Meadows" -Dana returns 142,000 hits for me, while "Dana Meadows" Donella only returns 2740 hits. Per WP:NICKNAME, the article about the environmentalist should stay at Donella Meadows, and Dana Meadows should be a disambiguation page.
In other words, I would propose:

  • Follow-up. Thank you for your correction about mountains. I thought that "Dana Meadows" should be a redirection to "Donella Meadows", but your suggestion to create a disambiguation page seems also good. As far as I'm concerned, we can go ahead as you described. 144.85.233.43 (talk) 19:16, 8 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Let's wait until 14 August to allow others to contribute. —hike395 (talk) 03:14, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're thinking of WP:PLACEDAB. You're right: it should be Dana Meadows (California). —hike395 (talk) 15:57, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
