Talk:Lost Monarch

Article related to Hyperion redwood tree

This largest redwood needed it's own article anyway.

If few people edit this, it may remain too short for Wikipedia in the long-run. But if editors are willling to make the effort, there is a lot of information on the Lost Monarch if diligent searching is done. There are publications online, .pdf documents and other information regarding this redwood, wildlife in it, plants growing on and around it, etc..

Have just recently sent an email to another Wikipedia editor / user, Mdvaden, requesting either permission to use an image of Hyperion, or that one be donated if available.

This article is very related to Hyperion (tree), and reference has been made to each of the other trees, in each of the articles, to eliminate confusion surrounding one redwood being the largest, while another is the talles.ThreeWikiteers (talk) 23:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Polypodium scouleri internal link

Someone changed an internal link for Polypodium scouleri, that previously went to the Genus level article. They changed it to go to a species level internal link, for which no article exists. So I reverted it back to the genus level for now.

It's not common policy to add internal links to non-existent articles is it? Shouldn't an article be made first? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.216.246.76 (talk) 06:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Location: Discuss prior to removing pertinent details: you too, anonymous editors

Noticed that someone waltzed-on in to the topic and tried to remove a lot of the statements in the location section. They need to be aware that their cares and concerns are not the basis for Wikipedia. Especially since the details about the location are not sufficient to point to the grove's location. And, the details ARE published. And it's within the Wikipedia guidelines to list information published in books, like The Wild Trees, or Van Pelt's Giants of the Pacific Northwest.

One person editing here is User Mgiganteus - I requested for them to chime in too.

To whoever is anonymously deleting:

List your suggestions here. Any or all of what you suggest can be modified, changed, added to or deleted. If you want removal of verifiable information, you might also provide alternative resources pertaining to the same info. Thanks.

I have not removed anything but it seems irresponsible to make any specific info known, just for the sake of article 'completeness'. I would suggest removing the location subsection entirely. 131.111.243.37 (talk) 20:59, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

The Grove of Titans was recently (19SEP2021) opened to the public , see https://www.nps.gov/redw/learn/news/gotboardwalk.htm for the press release announcing it. The trees are not labeled or plaqued so finding Lost Monarch required a picture to find. This is far from the largest coast redwood, or the tallest, and it saddens me that some keyboard warriors have kept this page inaccurate and incomplete under the pretenses of conservation. Secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society - I encourage everyone to go visit the Grove of Titans and see these natural wonders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C55:4A00:4C27:994E:E16C:36D7:BA89 (talk) 18:55, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Iluvatar removed as second largest

I removed Iluvatar as a second largest for comparison, because a new second largest redwood has emerged, called Fusion Giant or Melkor. Since the coastal redwood main article page lists a comparison chart, it seemed feasible to just leave a second largest out of this topic here for now.

Contradictory claims about tree volume

I'm not sure which page is correct, but this page contradicts the Hyperion page by asserting that Lost Monarch is not the largest coast redwood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stebenthom (talk • contribs) 23:54, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Dead Reference

The reference to Humboldt State University is dead linked. I was unable to find it in a brief search. I left the citation in the article, but I'm leaving a comment here in case someone can find a new link to put there. Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:26, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
