Does someone know how the Old Faithful Geyser smells? Thank you -- Gaborgulya 19:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know hold old it is??? Thanks--
I am assuming since the "average" time between eruptions is 91 minutes, the number of times the interval lasts 91-92 minutes far outnumber those that are lower. However, the article implies the interval is either 65 minutes or 92 minutes, which leads me to believe "short" intervals must occur reasonably enough to receive mention, therefore making the average time between eruptions something like 80 minutes, instead of 91. Furthermore, if the interval is either 65 or 92 minutes, then saying it is 65-92 is misleading- it implies the intervals can be 66 minutes, 79 minutes, 87, etc., etc. Can someone please clarify? -- Sarrandúin [ Talk + Contribs ] 06:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know the scientific explanation for the regularity of this geyser? -- 209.167.191.66 ( talk) 13:43, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
R has data on the Old Faithful Geyser (just type ?faithful to get it), and it references two articles:

As I was randomly scrolling through the articles, I found that my eye tended to be sidetracked by the pictures...most of which had no notable difference from each other. Any comments? I c eUnshattered [ t ] 22:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Geobox2 is supposed to be a universal template for Geographic features. Its been adapted to this geyser article. Because this is the first time its been used on a geyser article--that I can tell, I've left all the parameters intact so others can mess with it. The template is lacking on some parameters necessary for geo-thermal features and I've raised that issue here.-- Mike Cline ( talk) 19:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Although the comment This is regularly disputed may or maynot be true, adding it within the Blockquote is inappropriate, as Winser did not say that in his book. If the story Winser tells is in dispute, then please provide a source and context for that dispute. Although I am not an expert on Old Faithful or other geysers, I have yet to find any authoritative work that disputes the claim in Winser's work. If it exists, please provide it.-- Mike Cline ( talk) 14:03, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
The early visitors did not hesitate to throw logs and stones into the orifice in order that they might witness them being hurled high into the air at the next eruption. At various times this world famous geyser has been made to serve as a laundry, not only for the casual visitor but at least upon one occasion for a visiting contingent U. S. Army whose commanding officer stated that all types of clothing were excellently washed excepting woolen garments which were torn into shreds when shot high into the air from the rough throat of the geyser.

Is this image Old Faithful at yellowstone Park: File:Yellowstone-DC4.jpg or another body of water? If it is, it would be a useful addition to this article. Regards -- Leoboudv ( talk) 06:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
A recent edit removed the date links to September 18 and 1870. What was the rationale for this? Is there a guideline in play here? Old Faithful is listed as a notable event on the September 18 date page. Absent a specific guideline that discourages these links, it would seem that these are appropriate wikilinks. Absent these types of links on other pages, few readers would navigate to DOY pages.-- Mike Cline ( talk) 12:43, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Under Old_Faithful#Eruptions, the article says, It's popularity is more likely due to the small eruption window and high frequency. Could somebody explain what eruption window means, and how it differs from frequency? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:56, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Why is the video not in some standard format like MP4, AVI, or WMV?

This article doesn't appear to have anything currently on what sort of infrastructure or policies have been made for tourists coming to see the geyser. How many people visit annually? How close can you get (and how close could you get in the past)? Etc. The scientific info is nice, but it's only part of what this article should be. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 20:13, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
