[edit] Separate Ski area from Historic Landmark

From work on several of the ski area articles, it seems a time will come to split this into two articles, closely interconnected of course.

I propose the current article remain and focuses on the history of the hotel and landmark; a new article named Timberline Lodge ski area will cover(s) the snowsports aspects, including the day lodge and contain the ski area infobox, lift and terrain statistics, etc. Comments?

It's in place. I propose removing the bulk of the duplicated text from the original article, leaving a summary in place which references the new article. EncMstr 16:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] pics

Is it just me, or are there way too many images? Cacophony 04:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, Yellowstone National Park has fifteen photos—versus seventeen here—so I would say no.  :-) Seriously though, the pictures I like the least are, 1) the tunnel, 2) model hotel room, 3) hotel hallway, 4) timberline front, and 5) ski patrol equipment. I wouldn't complain if those were removed. I should construct a media page on commons for them though.... How many photos should there be? Which do you feel most strongly belong? —EncMstr 04:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, it looks like Cacophony already has a media page for all the photos that are in the gallery. If it were me, I'd just eliminate the gallery entirely, or have maybe 3 or 4 pictures in it.

Btw, I'm working on organizing the NRHP pictures on the commons. I just created one for Oregon pictures and added the Timberline page to it. If you want to add any more pics to the category, please-please do. WikiCommons is such a great resource, and so sadly underutilized. Just doing my lil' part to change that. :) --Ebyabe 14:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
