[edit] Comments from Soudan Mine

Just started as a new article. I think an article is justified because of the mine's prominence as a state park open to the public, because of the several prominent experiments there, and because a (previously broken) link to "Soudan Mine" already existed in another article.

[edit] Merge with Soudan Underground Mine State Park

Activities at the park center around the mine and associated equipment, and the mine is entirely within the park. Right now, the two articles are mostly duplicative, and I don't think there's enough material distinctly about one or the other to keep them separate. Therefore, proposing merge. --Reuben 07:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I think a merge under the state park title is highly justified. --McGhiever 12:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I also agree. -Ravedave 16:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree, the two existing articles are redundant and should be merged into one. Jbartelt9 19:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merged

Finished merge with Soudan Mine. --Reuben 17:37, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures requested, Pictures Added

I saw the tag for pictures, so I added two. One of the headframe and one of the MINOS detector (when it was being rebuilt, I think) from a few years back. --ShakataGaNai 03:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, great photos. I'll remove the photo request tag I added a long time back. These Minnesota State Park articles keep getting better, and that's good to see. Jonathunder 04:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Well I'm glad they are appreciated. First time I'd ever uploaded pictures to WP - wasn't sure how well they'd go over. --ShakataGaNai 05:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Nice pictures. In the MINOS picture, MINOS already had all its planes installed, and the boxy things in the foreground are modules from the Soudan-II proton decay experiment, which was being disassembled. --Reuben 20:51, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
