[edit] pl:Dent d'Hérens

But in this case this mountain refers to the Dent, so in my opinion this is OK. The translation shoudln't be strictly literal, but need to make sense. --Qu3a 08:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC) (you can write to me using my en wiki account) ;-)

You're right - citation need to be literal or described in brackets - I've change it. --Qu3a 18:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gianfranco Zola

Do you have a reference for Zola's number being retired at either Calgiari or Chelsea. I've been trying to verify all the entries on Retired numbers in football (soccer). Oldelpaso 14:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mountains of Italy

For what I see, only Mont Blanc is bad listed. I left it that way since, I seem, "Montblanc" is used in foreign countries as a single word. I think, it's better to place them under the mount name (ie, "Disgrazia" under "D" and so on), otherwise they'd be listed too many under the "M" without any logical significativy. Let me know and good work. --Attilios 13:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Henry Russell (explorer)

The introductory text for Category:Irish mountain climbers says the category is for "living or historical mountain climbers who originated from Ireland or spent a notable part of their careers in Ireland". Category:Irish explorers says it's for "explorers who originated from Ireland". It seems to me the only way Russell can be included in either of those categories is if we expand their definitions to include parentage. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 17:58, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, can't argue with that. Cheers. Ericoides (talk) 20:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

For moving it. I can only do that in a few days. I'm planning to add some information on several locations in the Engadin, including towns, mountains, and passes. --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 09:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Great. It would be nice to have pages for the Val Fex, Val Fedoz etc, as well as for the mountains that are still red links on the Bernina Range page. Ericoides (talk) 10:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Categories sortkey

Hello. Please maintain proper categories sort key for mountains. The guideline is this: we categorize them normally unless the article stands in a form that points some generic word in the first place. This applies for all geographical features here on English Wikipedia, not only for ones from English-speaking countries. For examples of proper sorted geographic articles see, Cat:Mountains of California, Cat:Rivers of Lancashire or Cat:Lakes of Russia. Therefore it applies for all geographic generic features/words like "mount", "cape", "lake", "cerro" (Spanish), "pik" (Russian) or "piz" (Romansh) etc. Thank you. - Darwinek (talk) 14:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I have left a message on your page. Cheers. Ericoides (talk) 13:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
It is certainly a problem when there are several patterns in naming of mountains (Switzerland) but the default system, i.e. "leave everything as it is" isn't much better, it will lead to the situation when e.g. 15 mountains starting with "Piz" will be categorized under "P" and another 15 under remaining letters. I am afraid there is no perfect solution if you will agree with me. You got a point on that issue, so have I. - Darwinek (talk) 13:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dome de Gouter

Hi, Ericoides, here:[[1]], here: [[2]], and here [[3]], they don't think like you! Why your version should be the best? --79.5.70.66 (talk) 13:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. The Institut Géographique National map here [4] shows that it lies wholly within France. Can you give me a reference to a map at the same scale that shows that it is on the border? Ericoides (talk) 19:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
This it:User:Shardan is very stubborn. I reverted him again here on en:, on fr: and on it:, though there I can't do much to convince him that he's wrong, except leave him a message. Take care here.
Best regards. Gemini1980 (talk) 23:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Ericoides, here’s the reference you’ve asked: [5]. You should scale to 1:25.000 and follow the border’s red line. By--79.5.70.66 (talk) 08:12, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reference. It looks like a very old map, however, and the border is computer generated. If you would like to revert again, please give a link to a jpeg of a photograph of a map that is as up to date and authoritative as the IGN and discuss your changes on the talk page of the Dome. Cheers! Ericoides (talk) 08:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
