[edit] Montagnes du St-François
Sorry, but I've never seen "Montagnes du St-François" used, and Google comes up absolutely blank on that phrase and its variants. Maybe you can find a reference to prove me wrong. Otherwise, I'd say that giving that as an alternate name is as relevant as offering Горы Святого Фрэнсиса or whatever. Yes, the name Saint Francois is French, and the area was part of New France once upon a time, but it simply is not known as Montagnes du St-François anywhere but, perhaps, in France. It belongs in fr.wikipedia.org only, IMHO. The state was once (or twice?) Spanish territory, too, but there's no reason to offer Montañas de San Fransicso as that's equally absurd. By analogy, the Gulf of Mexico article does not offer Golfo de México just because "Mexico" is in the name – the Spanish is used only in the Spanish Wikpedia article. Quod erat demonstrandum. -- Kbh3rd 30 June 2005 02:32 (UTC)
[edit] Pilot's Knob from base would make a More Impresive Photo
The Photo, this one taken from the wooden walk plank off of Taum Sauk, is not very impresive. Down the Path there are several outcroppings and clearings that make a more impresive photo and gives a truer sense of the area.
Also a Photo From the Fort Davidson or closer to the base of Pilot's Knob would make a better photo than the one here.
- This photo is from the Taum Sauk Reservoir viewing platform on Proffit mountain. Not the most impressive photo, even though it shows the high point in Missouri. I'm certainly not disamenable to its replacement in this article by a better picture. Maybe I'll rummage through my collection and see if I have anything likely, though I know I don't have any such as you suggest. Uploads by others are certainly welcome. (I also want to improve upon that shaded-relief map.) -- Kbh3rd 16:48, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
