Presidential Range fails to link here (erroneously) only bcz link is Mt. Jefferson; needs disamb eventually. -- Jerzy 05:48, 2003 Dec 13 (UTC)
Sounds like an effective convention to me. Guess i should go reread Presidential Range and see if it mentions a state.... [wink] -- Jerzy 15:15, 2003 Dec 13 (UTC)
The original article for the mountain in Oregon has now been moved to Mount Jefferson (Oregon). USGS GNIS listed 9 other mountains although they all exist in distinct states. I will change Mount Jefferson shortly to a disambiguation page. RedWolf 05:08, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)
I've lived in Oregon all my life (fifth generation Oregonian in fact), and have never heard of the "Williamette" River. There's a rather prominent N-S flowing river that runs most the length of the Willamette Valley and at Portland empties in to the Columbia River, but it's called the Willamette River (no "i" after the last "l").
Is "Williamette" a spelling that captures some important piece of historical context, or should the spelling be changed to accurately represent the river's name as it written absolutely everywhere today?
If there is some latent historical insight in calling it "Williamette," can someone please update the "Willamette River" article to document that fact? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.9.146.66 ( talk) 23:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
I ran across this lovely image, Image:Mt Jefferson Oregon.jpg, and thought it might be a good addition to the article, but I'm not sure we can justify three images and don't want to replace one without discussion. The image in the infobox is good since it shows the profile of the entire mountain. Thoughts? Katr67 16:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I am removing this line as it is not cited.
In addition, volcanoes are considered active if they have had an eruption within 10,000 years. Mount Jefferson also is a volcano of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which consists of volcanoes within the active Juan de Fuca subduction zone - current volcanoes and potential new ones can form and erupt at any time within this zone.
See the definition of active at Volcano#Volcanic_activity: "The Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program's definition of 'active' is having erupted within the last 10,000 years."

Jefferson's vague eruptive history is similar to Adams'. Considering this I think the opening line should not include any active/inactive designation. Rather than be vague in the summery, it should be noted later in the article how obscure Jefferson's latest eruptions have been. See the CVO USGS page for more details: http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/Jefferson/ -- LQ ( talk) 12:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Removed the 'extinct' part - it last erupted in the Holocene, so it can't be extinct. Guanlongwucaii ( talk) 15:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Guanlongwucaii
"This was the only High Cascade mountain they named." It might be true that this is the only mountain the the range that they successfully named. If I remember correctly they named others as well but those mountains had already been named by the English and the new names did not stick. I'm not certain of my facts here but the statement certainly is ambiguous. I vote to remove it altogether. -- DRoll ( talk) 06:43, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
