July 2023 edits etc
[edit]Having more-or-less completed extensive and very carefully sourced re-doing of the articles on the Taconic Mountains, and Mount Everett and Mount Equinox, I've just made some moderately extensive edits to first few segments of article. Because the Greylock article is more extensive & developed at present, I doubt I'll do as much work here as on the aforementioned articles. A number of source citations in the Greylock article are dead links. I've added (so far) only one source and what should be a stable (?) link. In edits, I'm following idea "remove needless words." For example, X "is located in Y," changes to "X is in" Y. One "needless word" eliminated. I will probably continue with similar work on this article & may add additional sources. (No luck with limited efforts to revive dead citations.) 32.221.207.102 (talk) 15:19, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
1980s BNR book, etc
[edit]As of this moment, I've only glanced through the book (in reference list currently). Probably a very extensive, useful and reliable source for this article. I've very heavily edited this article, especially up to but not really including segment headed "History," as of the moment. I've added about a dozen sources. Current count is 72 references. Am guessing 20 or more are dead links at present and mostly not otherwise informative.

The Hopper
[edit]It's possible to find semi-authoritave source describing it as a "cirque," that's not the consensus view, apparently. The Hopper was formed by non-glacial erosion, they do say! 32.221.207.102 (talk) 20:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- I may remove mention of glacial erosion in hopper. It's wrong, or very much in question, & so at minium, presentation is wrong. 32.221.207.102 (talk) 21:10, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've now done so, after personal communication with a source author, who (to me) retracts his statements regarding the Hopper as glacial cirque. Note that I am NOT citing personal communications, merely removing information that "The Hopper is a cirque." (Personally I assume glaciers somehow affected this topography, yet it appears the "scientific consensus" on this relatively unimportant and quite obscure issue is, that it's "not a cirque." My guy, a geologist, in reversing himself, cited (to me) in part Hopper's "lack of moraine," (and I think, lack of glacial scratch marks in relevant places). This, although no moraines are evident, according to legit geo sources, in at least several, actual, obvious and well-known cirques in northeastern USA. 32.221.207.102 (talk) 18:02, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
