Correct me if I am wrong, Willmcw, but I didn't see you name a source on this:
After all, isn't a fact "not a fact unless there's a source" as somebody once said? Also, shouldn't it read...
...especially since some of us insist upon linking even the most general statements of common knowledge to one specific person. I expect that you will go find me a quote now from the Los Angeles County surveyor proving that "Baldy"'s peak is indeed the boundary between the two counties - all under the inference that this should be deleted from the article if you do not, of course. Heck, for all we know the true border of Los Angeles County could be the state line with Nevada without a source! I know relatively little about California geography, but I want to edit this article anyway so hop to! You've got work to do and sources to provide me! Rangerdude 03:09, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone have any info on the group that regarded Baldy as one of the ten places, across the globe, that served as a contact point with ETs? I recall reading about them going up occasionally to hold alien reception ceremonies. I believe they were active in the 1980s, and early 1990s. It'd be interesting information for the article if we can find some sources. Thanks, - Willmcw 09:13, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
I lived in Claremont from '95 to '99 and a few of these people hung-out in the Village. I spoke with one of them about this subject and, from what I could gather, he was insinuating that he and other descendants of the Druids lived in the area because the mountain was a source of some kind of new-age energy. As proof of this, he cited visitations to Mt. Baldy by UFOs and the location of a Zen Buddist center there. I think it was just a bunch of kooks. 71.194.222.230 ( talk) 16:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
WP's Saint Anthony is a disambiguation page with a long list of saints. It would be nice to know which the mountain was named for.-- 75.83.69.196 ( talk) 00:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
User Srich32977 did a wholesale revert of various edits I made recently to the article, complaining on my user talk page that they were unsourced. This is unnecessarily aggressive and counterproductive, since some of the edits were clearly noncontroversial, e.g., the statement that the mountain lies within Angeles National Forest. It is not WP policy, and never has been, to revert all unsourced information. The civilized way to deal with this is to query on the talk page for a source, or perhaps mark the text with a tag saying that the source of the information needs to be cited. Since Srich32977's behavior is rude, destructive, and counter to all norms of behavior on WP, I'm re-reverting. Srich32977, if you have doubts about specific facts, please ask here rather than doing wholesale reverts.-- 75.83.76.23 ( talk) 21:05, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
The Recreation section needs some material about the ski resort, preferably written by someone who knows something about downhill skiing (i.e., not me).-- Fashionslide ( talk) 22:34, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
@ Rubberducky785 and Magnolia677: The GNIS cite for the elevation of 10,046' is from an entry dated 1981-01-19 and the citation confirmsthe data is from 1981. It may also be a typo of 10,064. The peakbagger cite, used to cite the prominence, claims a NAVD88 elevation of 10,068', which (by definition) would have to be from 1988 or (probably much) later. The topo map on that page also shows an elevation of 10,064', which agrees with the main elevation on the page (the equivalent in the NGVD29 datum, if I understand the site's notes correctly). It also matches the current aeronautical sectional chart. I suggest we go with the 10,068' NAVD88 elevation and cite it to peakbagger. A little digging can probably find a more "official" primary source, like the more recent NGS data or topo maps. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 07:09, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
@ AlanM1: Thanks. We got into a little conflict about it. The three elevations you said are all spread across Wikipedia, so it is confusing as to which one I should choose. I should probably dig a bit more. Rubberducky785 ( talk) 18:31, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
On the advice of Clarityfiend, we have incorporated the description and history of the ski hut in this page rather than having it as a separate entry. Room for one more ( talk) 00:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
