Talk:Mount Imeon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Article name

Is the title "Mount Imeon" accurate? Generally, we only use "mount" to refer to a specific mountain, but the article says that this is a mountain range that encompasses a number of other, major mountain ranges. We don't say "Mount Himalayas", so it seems like we shouldn't say "Mount Imeon" either. Should the title be "Imeon range" instead? -- Hux (talk) 19:06, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

In modern usage that would be so, however that is a dead historical name that I hesitate to alter; it’s used with ‘mount’ in modern sources such as for instance the US Department of State quote, a scientific article etc. The name ‘Imeon Range’ is already taken I'm afraid :-) Apcbg (talk) 07:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

That article is translated from Bulgarian anyway, so it hardly counts. However I'm curious why when I look up 'Imeon' on google I don't find any non-Bulgarian sites related to the history of Central Asia and the said mountain rage.

[edit] Tian Shan

Dear Hux, according to the ‘Ashharatsuyts’ description (presented in detail in Dobrev’s book) and mapping of the mountain (see Eremian’s reconstruction), a significant part of Imeon is extending north of Pamir (the latter being identified by the well known lapis lazuli mine, and the Stone Tower), and the range north of Pamir is Tian Shan.
