It's me again. Where have you found that the volume of the Lost Monarch is 42,500 cubic inches? Preston's book says at least 40,000. Krasanen ( talk) 22:36, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I hope I'm doing this correctly. Have you tried Dr. Van Pelt's book Forest Giants of the Pacific Northwest? I have corresponded with Dr Steve Sillett on this very issue. The Lost Monarch is a tricky tree in that it is "multi-stemmed" ...so proponents of its largest volume like its discovers, consistently print the larger volume without any rationale for including multi-stemmed trees in what has traditionally been a volume measurement of single stemmed trees. Thus the Lost Monarch has 2 separate volume measurements...it really depends on whether you believe multi-stemmed trees should be included in a list of volume champions. The traditional volume of the Lost Monarch is approximately 35,000 cu/ft however Dr. Stillett asserts the following "The two largest living redwoods (by volume) are ~42,500 and 39,100 cubic feet. They have been given the nicknames Lost Monarch and Melkor...In terms of global ranking, the largest living redwood is smaller than at least 7 living giant sequoias. The second largest redwood is smaller than at least 13 giant sequoias. There are records of redwoods cut in the late 19th and early 20th century larger than the largest living giant sequoias, but that is now mythology and there is no way to verify these claims." So as you can see he believes multi-stemmed entities should be included, however Dr. Van Pelt in his book uses the lower figure counting only a single stem in his calculations.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Evans Grove, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- No notability, basically orphaned
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi, Bradluke. Not sure what you meant: were you asking what top 40 are in my edition of Wendell's book, or which trees I have actually visited? Thanks! hike395 ( talk) 04:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Which you have seen? Boole22 ( talk) 11:29, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- It's been quite a number of years (10+) since I've been over to Sequoia, but as I recall, I've been to General Sherman, General Grant, President, Lincoln, either Roosevelt or Hart (can't remember which), and Agassiz (I think). Redwood Mountain Grove is my favorite grove. hike395 ( talk) 00:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Dear Bradluke22, When we put in a reference or other link into the article (like Adam(tree)) to an Internet webpage or website, Wikipedia recommends adding the date-it is not required but helps to show how old the link is, as the webpage may no longer be there anymore. So it means that is the date I found the information (online) that I put into the Wikipedia article. Understand? I'm poor at explaining things in written form...hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you need more/better explanation, Wikipedia has a huge help file Marcia Wright ( talk) 04:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Bradluke22, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
