Thanks, 212! (or however you type that) I'd been thinking that this phrase range a bell from somewhere else, but I couldn't quite place it. Now I remember what that's all about. :) -- John Owens 09:44 May 8, 2003 (UTC)

Anyone have an actual picture of the cliff (before or after) to contribute? Maybe pictures from your vacation? - kwertii — Preceding undated comment added 08:00
That's a really odd article, IMHO, which is why I undid the link the first time around. Since "native" means "born in the location," explaining that New Hampshire native means "born in New Hampshire" seems - well, kind of silly, with or without an RSA. It's like having an article called New Hampshire resident. For all practical purposes, all the article does is tell people to look at list of New Hampshire people. Does it strike anybody else this way, or am I being pedantic? - DavidWBrooks 17:12, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm going out on a limb here, but I assume the David Nielsen mentioned in here is not the David Nielsen the page links too. Anyone have concrete information? -- ORBIT 08:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
What about pointing out that the timing of the Face's collapse was ironic, coming just a short time after the State quarter was introduced?
Thanks for your consideration. Dave Andrew 04:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Three years is not a short time? On the contrary, on a geologic time scale three years is an incredibly short period of time. Considering that this structure probably remained intact for millennia, the odds of it collapsing a mere three years after being put on the state quarter are pretty small. NIST91 ( talk) 12:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Gee, David, thanks for that sarcastic and completely inappropriate response. The age of the universe is completely irrelevant in this case, since the rock formation did not exist since the beginning of time. It's not irrelevant, however, to point out that 3 years represents an insignificant amount of time compared to the rock formation's age. NIST91 ( talk) 12:07, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Is it really necessary to have so many hyperlinks on this page? Like, does anyone seriously not know what a highway is? Or a state legislator? Has no one heard of wind, snow, and rain? If these hypothetical people have any doubts I'm sure they can look up these problem spots on their own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.51.86.128 ( talk) 10:25, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Image:NHemblem.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

There's a Donald Duck comics where DD destroys a similarly looking rock formation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Henrik BP ( talk • contribs) 12:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Is there any evidence that the jazz song "The Old Man of the Mountain", performed by Cab Calloway and his Orchestra amongst others, and hence the derived Betty Boop cartoon of the same title, was inspired by this formation? 87.81.230.195 ( talk) 13:47, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
I cannot find any references to substantiate the claim that state legislators considered the idea of including the Old Man image on the state flag subsequent to the collapse. A search of relevant articles in the New Hampshire Union-Leader shows no mention of the idea. Can someone please find a substantiating WP:RS reference for this? Otherwise I think the claim should be removed. — Rnickel ( talk) 18:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't particularly object to a detailed description of a proposal to replace (or "redefine") the Old Man after its collapse, unless it was just one of many proposals, in which case singling this one out becomes a promotion for this particular architect. Is there any information available on the proposals that were submitted to the Merrill commission in 2003? -- Ken Gallager ( talk) 17:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
In the Simpsons episode Fraudcast News, a very similar rock formation collapses. The episode aired almost exactly a year after the Old Man of the Mountain collapsed. Is there any mileage in including this in the article? Can anyone find a citation for a definite connection between the two? -- Bobyllib ( talk) 18:15, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
The NYT just had an article about the Old Man of the Mountain and the memorial designs and stuff. -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû ( blah?) 16:19, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
The 1955 stamp shown in the article bears the inscription "The Old Man of the Mountains", the last word in the plural. Whereas the article itself does not mention the issue of plural vs. singular, but seems to assume the singular everywhere. Toddcs ( talk) 20:12, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
Note that Alpstein in the Swiss Alps, also has an Altmann (Old Man). Similarity to a person not so clear. But anyway, there is the possibly this connection was also made by the people naming the place. Student7 ( talk) 00:44, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I was going to update a dead reference link, but gave up after several minutes trying to figure out how to do it. Could the user interface be any harder to use?

What do people think about killing the timeline, and incorporating the material into next as necessary? Much of its material is already mentioned in the article - it seems clumsy and duplicative (if that's a word). - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 19:20, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
I have two proposals, we should choose one: (1) all around wikipedia, if anybody is deceased, we should display a composite image that shows them as a semi transparent ghost so nobody mistakenly will think that they are alive (2) leave the rest of wikipedia alone, and restore a picture of actual Old Man of the Mountain to this page, and let people know in text that it no longer exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.65.224.172 ( talk) 00:46, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
