To me, "Tallest steel roller coaster drops" means the height above ground that the drop is located. Why not use "greatest" or "largest" drop?
LA Times vs Los Angeles Times (Publisher?)
-
- I still can see "LA Times". Every time, LA Times should be italicised, and either only the first one or all wikilinked. It needs to be noted that it is a Tribune Company publication. Ref 67 has no publication date. —Andrewstalk 22:54, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why is "Press Release" italicised, and why is the 'r' capitalised?

The consecutive rankings in image captions in the 'Poll rankings' sections are unreferenced, and that info does not appear elsewhere in the article, so the captions need inline citations.
- There is nothing that actually says that but I guess I could cite the Award Rankings for every year?--Astros4477 (talk) 15:32, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Roller Coaster Database is linked in some references and not in others. Be consistent - I suggest linking the first time, then leaving unlinked in other cases.
- Well all of the DataBase roller coaster references are from Template:Cite RCDB. Should the others that aren't automatically linked, changed?--Astros4477 (talk) 15:15, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes - either link them all, or link only the first time. —Andrewstalk 22:54, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In 'Largest steel roller coaster drops', how can Top Thrill Dragster (120 m) and Superman: Escape from Krypton and Tower of Terror II (100m) have held the record from May to August 2003? —Andrewstalk 22:54, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Phantom's Revenge and Tower of Terror II (different speeds) simultaneously held the "Fastest steel roller coaster" record from January 1997 to March 1997? —Andrewstalk 22:54, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Check other records for inconsistencies. —Andrewstalk 22:54, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What does "Max. Vertical Angle" mean? This looks to be nearly 180° from the vertical.
- Max. Vertical Angle usually deals with drops and not the lift that is pictured in that photo. Besides, that would be considered 90 degrees, not 180.--Astros4477 (talk) 15:26, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, so it's the angle from the horiztonal. This should be defined or explained somewhere. Just as a side note, in loops, is there not every possible angle experienced, seeing as they are full circles? —Andrewstalk
- Well Max. Vertical Angle is on drops, a vertical loop is considered to be an inversion.--Astros4477 (talk) 01:54, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, this needs to be explained. A small diagram showing what this angle means would be very helpful. —Andrewstalk 03:00, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Which roller coaster(s) held the "Tallest wooden roller coaster" record from March 1992 to June 2009? —Andrewstalk 22:54, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Son of Beast would have held it from 2000 (see below). Will do some digging for 1992 onwards. Themeparkgc Talk 23:51, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The Rattler held the record from March 1992 to May 2000. It's being converted into a steel roller coaster for the 2013 season so its no longer a wooden roller coaster, that's why it was removed.--Astros4477 (talk) 18:27, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What about the "Largest wooden roller coaster drop" from May 2000 to June 2009? —Andrewstalk 22:54, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
-
- I think that this should be mentioned, even if it's just as a footnote to the table. —Andrewstalk 03:00, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I have added some Notes about Son of Beast (probably in the wrong spot though).--Astros4477 (talk) 05:39, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd put it in the 'Record held' cell, but meh, that's just personal preference. However, I think that Son of Beast's height, drop distance and speed should be mentioned in the footnote. Adabow (talk) 06:19, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
-
- This needs a citation for verification. Adabow (talk) 21:10, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Where would I put the citation? It's not working inside the note and it looks really weird outside the note.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:21, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I have done the code, with placeholder refs as "blah". Now you just need to replace with the actual refs. For the SoB one you have to do it every time - use Ctrl+F to find all instances. Adabow (talk) 22:46, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Please check every reference for consistency. Eg BestRollerCoasterPoll.com vs Best Roller Coaster Poll
