[edit] Killington Ski Resort
Hi Stevetursi. We had an edit conflict on this article. I made quite a few wikichanges and got the edit conflict warning. But when I asked what had changed (before commiting my edits), it showed an empty set of changes. Now I see your edit added some entries to the table which I radically reformatted—in wikimarkup. If you like, I'll apply your changes unless you're in the midst of another edit. — EncMstr 22:09, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind. Your additions are incorporated, though it looks like more needs to be done. Hopefully you'll like and find the new format easier to edit. — EncMstr 02:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks.. I'm still new at this, so any help is appreciated. --Stevetursi 02:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like you're doing great. If you have can't find an answer in the pages linked above and the help (in the navigation box at left), feel free to ask on my talk page. Here are a few things that—once I found them—I felt much more competent concerning wikipedia:
- The easy way to keep tabs on articles is your watchlist (link also at top of every page). I find it helpful to have preferences set so "add to watchlist" is selected by default.
- The wikipedia search function is a great way to find things. However, Google often performs better, more thoroughly and ranks things more usefully. Use Google in the usual way, but also add the term site:en.wikipedia.org somewhere.
- When editing, be sure to add a meaningful edit summary. Look at the history of articles to see how others approach this. (rv is a abbreviation meaning revert. rvv means revert vandal.)
- When (or if) you're up for a technical challenge, you can tackle understanding wikitable markup or templates (a macro facility). Happy editing! — EncMstr 04:04, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rusk Mountain
Thanks for creating the article. I just got done expanding it to make it similar to the other Catskill High Peaks articles I've done (Slide, Hunter and Kaaterskill High Peak). Since I sort of take my time creating new ones, it was an interesting experience as it's the first trailless peak I've written up.
Speaking of which, do you happen to have a picture? There are two really good views you could get: the best is from route 296 as suggested in the article, and I'd love that one (assuming it was a good picture, with nice greens and blues) but you can also get it to loom from a little bit further down Spruceton Road from the trailhead (you can't see the summit from there, though).
I ask because I've been waiting till I get pictures to create these articles, generally. Daniel Case 07:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- I might have one from colonel's chair (summit of the ski area) - I'll look around. I can definitely have a friend who lives there shoot a photo, if you'd like. Stevetursi 15:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
