Talk:Mount Adams (New Hampshire)

Elevation and other claims

In case anyone else is thinking of editing the summit elevation, the article shows the elevation which is published on the most current USGS quadrangle, which is 1760 meters, or 5774 feet. My edition of the AMC White Mountain Guide, however, lists the elevation as 5799 feet, which is close to the elevation of 5798 feet listed on the older (1938) USGS 15-minute quadrangle. We should stick with the current USGS map for the elevation source. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:33, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I was wondering about that. Incidentally, I've never heard the Adams group of summits referred to as the "Adams family"--it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that some people do call it that, but I've spent many years in and about the Whites without hearing that term. Is it an RMC thing? Does it appear in print anywhere? 65.213.77.129 (talk) 14:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello - the most recent and standing official topographical survey is the NED (National Elevation Dataset) quad taken April 1st, 2001 by LIDAR. Here is the link to the data from the USGS server: http://extract.cr.usgs.gov/diststatus/servlet/gov.usgs.edc.RequestStatus?siz=3&key=ND3&ras=1&pfm=ArcGRID&imsurl=-1&ms=-1&att=-1&lay=-1&fid=-1&dlpre=&wmd=1&mur=http%3A%2F%2Fextract.cr.usgs.gov%2Fdistmeta%2Fservlet%2Fgov.usgs.edc.MetaBuilder&mcd=NED13&mdf=ALL&arc=ZIP&msd=NED.wrld_13_metadata&zun=METERS&prj=4269&rsp=1&bnd=&bndnm=&csx=9.259259260000041E-5&csy=9.259259260000041E-5&ics=4326&ORIG=TNM&lft=-71.346&bot=44.298&rgt=-71.232&top=44.349&sde=NED.conus_ned_13e

I am not going to cite that data in the article since it is a temporary data-extraction file, but once that file expires you can go in yourself and extract the same elevation data. I will now update the article to reflect the most recent elevation given by the NED at 1765.81m - this is converted to 5793.34ft using proper significant figure procedure, and I will therefore use a final value of 5793ft in the article. For reference, I've uploaded the metadata of the NED dataset elsewhere (a place that will not expire as fast as above) in case anyone questions this edit: http://pastebin.com/dqJ0TVw2

We're going to need a new link for the NED data figure. Can someone track that down? --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:11, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Adams family/Aetherians

I also don't know that we should be including information about the Aetherians' holy scriptures, even with the preface "Rumor has it," unless that rumor is mentioned in some verifiable source. Is there a book or magazine article that mentions the rumor? 65.213.77.129 (talk) 14:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Good points about the "Adams family" and the Aetherians. I put a "fact" tag on the first claim and commented out the second for the time being.--Ken Gallager (talk) 14:45, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

http://www.aetherius.org/index.cfm?app=content&SectionID=79&PageID=35 lists Mt. Adams as one of the Holy Mountains of the World. This should be included in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.149.46 (talk) 16:22, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
