Problem with Date[edit]

In that the geyser became extinct in 1904, the date this photograph was taken must be earlier than 1913. Presumably, the date given here is the date of publication of the book in which the photo was found. (Which is not at all necessarily the date of the photo's first publication.) Anyhow, the information here is at best ambiguous, certainly misleading, and most probably wrong. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 19:23, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While we're at it...[edit]

The "source" and "author" information are also rather unhelpful. It would nice to have more precise information than simply "scanned book at Wikisource." Also, are "Muir & Moodie" the authors of said book, or the people who (jointly?) took the photograph? --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 19:25, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
