Mount San Antonio in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County is almost always referred to as "Mount Baldy" (though that is more accurately the name of a town and ski area on the mountain) or "Big Baldy". On maps, it is designated as Mount San Antonio, with "Old Baldy" in quotes underneath. These names are referenced in the Wikipedia article "Mount San Antonio". This peak should be added to the lists under all three nicknames. Lmonteros 19:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why US peaks only?[edit]

Here is the bivouac.com search for "Baldy", and there's at least half a dozen peaks in BC that should be listed here, not including Mount Baldy Hughes and a host of subpeaks dseignated e.g. BaldyNW9. I don't have time to add them but for any wikibeavers out there, the bivouac link is pretty thorough (I know, because I was the one who "mined" topozone and the BC equivalent to build bivouac's listings....).Skookum1 (talk) 16:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'll ask this again, as a quick search got me at least a dozen Baldy Mountains in BC, plus Mount Baldy Hughes (also CFB Baldy Hughes) near Prince George, and Big Baldy Mountain on Vancouver Island. No Old Baldies or Little Baldies I'm aware of, at least not in BC. Could someone please adjust the mountain header/row templates so that they're not US-only in parameters; CGDNS=, option "Region" as well as County, NTS as well as USGS etc? I made a stab at trying to amend {{mountain row header}} but it didn't seem to work, nor did using that template on List of peaks named Bear Mountain. If someone can do this, I can add the Canadian items. Thanks.

Well, no answer huh? I guess I'll have to add the "globalize" template both to this and the mountain row header template; I came by after, once more, having reason to look up Old Baldy (an old name for Mount Robie Reid) but I still can't add any Canadian entries so long as there is no room either to put "province" or the BCGNIS/CGNDS references.....why is it American editors think the world ends at their borders, or nothing outside the US matters? I mean, really, people.....Skookum1 (talk) 16:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Skookum: I just saw these comments. Check out {{mountain index row/doc}}: it explicitly has parameters for province and CGNDS. Not sure why it doesn't work for you: I'll try and take a look when I have more time. hike395 (talk) 19:39, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tried using it back in March, maybe it's been udpated since? Somewhere also there shoudl be a definition of the usage of Baldy that a lot of all these peaks/summits are named as, i.e. it's a "stock" name for various kinds of summits; a "baldy" isn't necessarily a dome-top from waht I can tell, some are really peak-like (Mount Robie Reid on hte north side of the Fraser Valley is a real craggy massif, but gold rush-era travellers called it Old Baldy for instance. Anyway maybe if you could set up the Canadian section for me, then I can add in the summits (actually they're indexed easily enough in http://bivouac.com - I was the one who went through CGNDS and BCGNIS and USGS to compile Bivouac's page actually....Skookum1 (talk) 19:42, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
