According to Glaciers / Glacial Features the largest Glacier in the Denali National Park and Preserve is Kahiltna Glacier, 44 miles long. This is also the number in the Kahiltna Glacier article. So the number that appears in the Denali National Park and Preserve article (30 miles) and the statement that the largest glacier is Muldrow Glacier are both wrong. אביהו ( talk) 08:59, 26 October 2018 (UTC) reply

I removed both climate tables. The two tables disagreed with each other. For the one on the bottom, it was blindingly obvious that it was wrong, and anyone even not from Alaska could see that it was wrong. The top table had very different figures, and could be possibly correct data for some low-lying area near the park, but for us to say that it is the climate of the park is incorrect, and the webpage we got it from is very vague on where they get their data. — Soap — 21:46, 24 July 2020 (UTC) reply

And we let it stand for five and a half years? — Soap — 21:58, 24 July 2020 (UTC) reply

There has been a small number of persistent IP climate vandals: it's very tough to find their edits and clean up after them. When I see climate data being changed, I will double-check the sources. But I didn't see this edit in 2014.

Here is a more reliable source: the National Park Service. The numbers are actually a little warmer than what you deleted. I wonder whether the Park Headquarters get foehn winds in the winter? I don't know the area at all. — hike395 ( talk) 02:05, 25 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Okay, thanks for the quick reply. I am going to take a break from climate editng for a while ... it's more stress than I need. The NPS data looks good. It is a bit warmer than I expected in winter, but not by much, and it's within a few degrees of nearby towns such as Healy, Alaska and Cantwell, Alaska. I may add it if nobody else does, but in the meantime, I'm not stressed about it, first because we have those other towns with climate tables already filled out, and secondly because people visiting Denali may be more interested in what the weather is like high up than what it's like at the park ranger station, and we can't provide a climate table for that. — Soap — 17:14, 25 July 2020 (UTC) reply

I meant to also mention that the IP was likely editing in good faith, not a vandal ... the IP traces to Indonesia, and even if they happened to know a lot about weather and climate I could see how this could slip by them, especially if they didn't notice that one of the stations was listed as being 4000 feet up. Im still disappointed that nobody else noticed the problem for such a long period of time, though. — Soap — 17:59, 25 July 2020 (UTC) reply

On August 27th I added a small paragraph in this section about the McCandless bus being airlifted out of the park as a way to dissuade hikers from seeking it out. Today, when checking out a different revision, I noticed that someone simply deleted my entry the same day I added it. No reason was given for the deletion nor was I informed of it even though I am subscribed to see edits. The user has only an IP address ( /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/181.12.71.26). I'm only a very occasional contributor so maybe there's some justification for such actions I'm not aware of. Can anybody explain this? Alaska Dave ( talk) 00:53, 3 September 2020 (UTC) reply
