Comments from Soudan Mine

[edit]

Just started as a new article. I think an article is justified because of the mine's prominence as a state park open to the public, because of the several prominent experiments there, and because a (previously broken) link to "Soudan Mine" already existed in another article. Reuben 22:50, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Activities at the park center around the mine and associated equipment, and the mine is entirely within the park. Right now, the two articles are mostly duplicative, and I don't think there's enough material distinctly about one or the other to keep them separate. Therefore, proposing merge. --Reuben 07:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think a merge under the state park title is highly justified. --McGhiever 12:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree. -Ravedave 16:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, the two existing articles are redundant and should be merged into one. Jbartelt9 19:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merged

[edit]

Finished merge with Soudan Mine. --Reuben 17:37, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures requested, Pictures Added

[edit]

I saw the tag for pictures, so I added two. One of the headframe and one of the MINOS detector (when it was being rebuilt, I think) from a few years back. --ShakataGaNai 03:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, great photos. I'll remove the photo request tag I added a long time back. These Minnesota State Park articles keep getting better, and that's good to see. Jonathunder 04:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well I'm glad they are appreciated. First time I'd ever uploaded pictures to WP - wasn't sure how well they'd go over. --ShakataGaNai 05:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nice pictures. In the MINOS picture, MINOS already had all its planes installed, and the boxy things in the foreground are modules from the Soudan-II proton decay experiment, which was being disassembled. --Reuben 20:51, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Decommissioning of the Soudan Underground Laboratory

[edit]

Some friends had informed me that the underground laboratory had been decommissioned, and that tours of it are no longer available, as there's not much to see but the (lovely) mural. I did a little bit of detective work and was able to confirm this, see UMN's page; http://www.soudan.umn.edu/outreach/visitors.shtml AFAIK, the tours of the underground mine (which focuses on the historic mining operations there) are still availble. A bit squeezed for time to modify the page, but perhaps someone else has more free time to do that. -- Segelflieger~enwiki (talk) 22:24, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The DNR presents these two parks together as one name. [1] Should these pages be merged? -Eóin (talk) 01:15, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 30 May 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

– "Soudan Underground Mine State Park" was an existing park and a new state park "Lake Vermilion State Park" was created in 2010. The two state parks are now operated together under one name, "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park". "Lake Vermilion State Park" article was moved to "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park". The "Soudan Underground Mine State Park" is significantly larger and and has a much more detailed history than the current "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park" article stub. This move would preserve the history of the original article but move it to the current operating title. Eóin (talk) 03:19, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:15, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park titles a page with significant content and so is ineligible as a target "new" page title unless it is also dispositioned. This request has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 12:01, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Eóin and Lord Bolingbroke: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:17, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Eóin: Couldn't this be handled by a merge and redirect? – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 05:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Lord Bolingbroke: I'm rusty at this stuff so it very well may be. I will defer to more knowledgeable people on it. My thinking was that while the 7 paragraphs in "Soudan Underground Mine State Park" could be merged to the current stub of "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park" and redirected, I thought it important for the 180 revisions of "Soudan Underground Mine State Park" be in the main history of the article rather than in the redirect compared to the 30 revisions of the current "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park". If the location of the history and revisions is not that important, let me know and I will merge and redirect the content. With so little content it would be less of a merge and more of copy/paste replace of the article. -Eóin (talk) 14:12, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
