Improving Mindat.orgDuplicate entries in Idaho, USA

18th Oct 2023 07:02 UTCVik Vanrusselt Expert

Hello all,

The following entries appear to be duplicates.
If they are, they should be merged.
If they cover more than 1 county, they should be turned into non-hierarchical localities:

1) https://www.mindat.org/loc-281296.html (Loon Creek Mining District, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA) appears to be a duplicate of https://www.mindat.org/loc-39487.html (Loon Creek Mining District, Custer County, Idaho, USA)

2) https://www.mindat.org/loc-278287.html (Mackinaw Mining District, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA) appears to be a duplicate of https://www.mindat.org/loc-39592.html (Leesburg Mining District (Mackinaw Mining District), Lemhi County, Idaho, USA)

3) https://www.mindat.org/loc-39600.html (Parker Mountain Mining District, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA) appears to be a duplicate of https://www.mindat.org/loc-280060.html (
Parker Mountain Mining District, Custer County, Idaho, USA)

4) https://www.mindat.org/loc-216474.html (Rough Mountain Mining District, Owyhee County, Idaho, USA) appears to be a duplicate of https://www.mindat.org/loc-249241.html (
Rough Mountain Mining District, Elmore County, Idaho, USA)

Hello all,

I'm reviving this thread because all of these duplicates still exist 6 months after I first posted them.

Has any work been done since, or is there something I can do to help fix them?

The problem seems to me that we don't have enough US members/managers willing or having time to fix these many things in all US states.

Now all fixed.

A number of these are mining districts that are in multiple counties. You could add a nonhierarchial locality in Idaho and copy over the district boundaries, but please don't delete the district name in the individual deposits or the district in the county.

It looks like someone duplicated the Mackinaw district as the Leesburg district, but it's hard to tell. The Idaho Geological Survey map of mining districts does not show a "Leesburg" district but does show the Mackinaw district in that place. They should be merged.
