[edit] Hay Tor or Haytor?

There are 725 Google hits for "hay tor" compared to about 102,000 for "haytor". It's also shown as "Haytor" on OS maps, so I suggest the article should be renamed. Any comments? Smalljim 23:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Rename – if its name is Haytor, then the article should reflect that. EdJogg 11:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Moved – I've moved the article and renamed the links that point to it (I suppose not necessary, but...). Thanks. Smalljim 23:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New photo

Chris huh's new photo of Haytor is very fine … but I'm concerned about the colouration of the tor caused by the evening light. It looks as if it's made of sandstone, not granite. As such I don't think it's really appropriate for the main photo in the article: it's an artistic photo rather than an encyclopedic one. Any comments?  —SMALLJIM  11:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Like you say - nice photo but I agree it is not representative of Haytor in particular & granite tors generally --Herby talk thyme 11:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Actually you;re right, i'll put back the other photo that was there. That's clearly made of granite. Chris_huhtalk 12:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I've uploaded a colour-corrected version of the photo (preview size only). Is this perhaps worth using?  —SMALLJIM  14:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Looks good to me - nice work --Herby talk thyme 15:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
