A Big Boat![edit]

"The team carried a 10000000 ton survey boat, the Cleewood, up the steep mountain slope and lowered it 2,000 feet into the lake."

At the stated 10 000 000 tons displacement, the Cleewood would be 100 times larger than the largest aircraft carrier. I think a somewhat more accurate figure is required here. Roarshocker (talk) 10:28, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you realize "10000000" number is result of vandalism. Cleetwood was half-ton (1,000 lbs) boat. Here's hot-button to photo of Cleetwood on Crater Lake[1]. Photo is from Crater Lake Historic Resource Study by Linda W. Green (see ref 7 & 8 in atch article).--Orygun (talk) 03:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism has been reverted. Bleakcomb (talk) 12:08, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Factor of 10 error in size of district[edit]

The size of the district has been reported as 75 acres, based on info at http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com, which I refer to as "NRHP.COM". That is a private website which mirrors the National Register Information System (NRIS) public domain database. It has been determined that NRHP.COM is wrong in all historic district areas, overstating size by a factor of 10, due to a programming error in that private website, which until recently was the only available version of the NRIS database which reported HD areas. The Elkman NRHP infobox also now reports HD areas, at proper size. More info at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places#Factor of 10 issue in NRHP HD areas.

In this Munson Valley case, the original listing was in fact 7.5 acres, and there was a later size decrease which either decreased it by 6 acres or brought the size down to 6 acres. I will try to update this article suitably. Note, the general area probably appears in many Oregon NRHP articles. doncram (talk) 17:36, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MRA document[edit]

There is considerable detail about the Munson Valley Historic District in the MRA document on Crater Lake National Park historic resources. Perhaps someone could add this reference and information from it, to the article? It will not be independent from other references now in the article, but it may be more detailed and/or more primary. It may be helpful to add to other articles covered by the MRA. Here is a reference prepared for it:

Assessment[edit]

I have reviewed the assessment rules and do not see how I can assess higher than B. Needs to be submitted as a candidate for formal review. Not by removing the CLASS. C. Williams (talk) 19:10, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quality scale[edit]

The quality "class" an article receives should follow Wikipedia's regular guidelines for quality found below.

Articles which have not been formerly evaluated, or which have failed a good article review, should not be assigned a quality rating higher than B class. Above that an article needs to go through a formal review process.
