[edit] Discuss external links here
Editors regularly clean out undiscussed links from this article. Please discuss here if you want a link not to be cleaned out regularly. (You can help!) Katr67 19:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proposal for a link
Pro: This is a unique site offering a free walking virtual tour around the place vividly illustrating beauty of the National Park. There are no means to publish it on Wiki - it uses specialized Java applet. That is why external link it here. Thank you for consideration! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.34.100 (talk • contribs)
- There are many photographs of this park. Please don't spam our articles with your website. -Will Beback · † · 21:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. Nationalparks 06:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Igor Polk: Pro again. Have you visited my site dear Mr.Beback and "Nationalparks"? This is not "many photographs". This is a virtual tour. A unique software where one can walk around the place as being there. Ok. Cater Lake is not my largest and the best tour. But others !!! I am not very surprised with you approach. I understand there are a lot of spammers around, and I fight with them on my own site, but I can assure you that what I have deserves the place in such reputable and reach web-site like Wiki. It is just not as reach without my tours as it could be be with!
Please, approach my appeal with a little more diligence.
Oh, I forgot to provide a link for your convenience: http://www.virtuar.com/click/2005/crater_lake/
- Pro: I didn't see a single thing for sale.
- Con: It was a little hard to figure out that the "white thingy" was an arrow pointing forward: a (dismissable?) legend would be a big help.
- Pro: It has a nice set of photos, and more in-depth than I expected from the above.
- I think it makes a good addition, even though it overlaps a bit with what's available in commons. —EncMstr 01:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Igor Polk, You were very polite to ask about adding the weblink and we gave you a polite reply. What we didn't know at the time was that you had added links to your website to more than two dozen articles. We don't wish you any harm, but Wikipedia is not a link directory. Our aim is to get good content into the articles, not available from 3rd party websites. No one "deserves" a place here. If you'd like to contribute some of your photos to the Wikimedia Commons then we'd be grateful, but Wikipedia does not exist to provide referrals to your commercial website. -Will Beback · † · 01:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- Not only that, but you have a large number of Google Ads on the site. Nationalparks 01:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Another proposed link
From the national parks service, this link appears to extensively discuss the history of Rim Drive, and it doesn't seem to be readily linked from the other NPS links on this page. Thoughts? -Pete 22:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/crla1/rimdrive.htm
- Thanks for checking. Who knew you could write so much about a road? Looks good to me--government links are thankfully commercial-free. Better yet, expand the the sentence in the article about Rim Drive a bit, and use the link as a reference. Katr67 23:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Topographic map link
Possible link that could be of interest, here's a link to USGS topographic map viewing of the park: http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=42.93899&lon=-122.10597&datum=nad27&zoom=32
Not sure if it's suitable or appropriate for the article, looking at the nature of the other links in the article. So I'll leave it up to all of you whether online topographic maps of the park are of sufficient interest for the article. Disclaimer - TopoQuest is my site (built to replace Topozone after it went subscription-only and left everyone hanging when it comes to free USGS topo map viewing), but is a free non-commercial site. Ryanniemi (talk) 18:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for asking. Is your site already listed in the selection of links available when you click on the coords in the upper right corner? Katr67 (talk) 19:18, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Linking text to references
I've inserted the time for filling of Crater Lake (based on a past climate that had 70% of the precipitation of modern times) of 740 years. This should be referenced to the paper I included at the end of the page by Natheson et al (2007), but I do not know how to include additional numbered references to the article itself. If others know how to do this, then I would welcome the editorial help.--Pkrnger 21:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Done. —EncMstr 21:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Soils of the Park
The Web Soil Survey provides information on soils throughout the United States. You can find Crater Lake by zooming in on the map or selecting Klamath County, Oregon. Links to the park's representative soil series are also below. Tony (talk) 20:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
