  • There are two marked areas for Mauna Kea. There should only be one. I think the larger of the two areas should describe the mountain of Mauna Kea. The smaller area is actually the cinder cone which marks the highest point on the mountain. I moved the more descriptive text to the larger area and marked the smaller area for deletion. If anyone disagrees, feel free to cancel the deletion and discuss. What I would suggest: if someone knows the name of the cinder cone, mark it by it's name (not as Mauna Kea) and mention in the description that it's the highest point on Mauna Kea.
  • Doh! The description has the name of the cinder cone, and I missed it. That's what I get for working on this stuff in late night sessions. I've verified the name. I'm cancelling the deletion and renaming/redescribing this area as the cinder cone Pu'u Wekiu.
