Talk:Montserrat (mountain)

message: I think this could be renamed to Montserrat, Spain or Montserrat, Catalonia.  The Caribbean island is also a mountain, apparently, and "Mont" in the title already implies mountain ( 20:26, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: The word edifice means "building," something constructed by humans.  I have changed the word to "rock formation," which is beautifully illustrated in the accompanying photograph.76.26.112.134 12:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any support for making this picture the lead image, as it's WP:FEATURED and more closely representative of the subject of the article? It and the existing lead would change places. --Old Moonraker (talk) 15:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a lovely image - but in my opinion either the existing headliner or the "from the air" picture do a better job of showing the subject as a mountain sticking up out of the surrounding terrain. And on a practical level, having a long thin image at the top would look odd. What you could do is separate it from the gallery, where it gets lost, and put it higher up the article as a full-width illustration. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:27, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I found the museum there pretty spectacular, and the story of the Black Virgin cries out for more mention. There is also a 'famous' boys'choir there that is worth a reference, though I missed it.Geneven (talk) 18:48, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone expand upon the relation of Montserrat to Eschenbach's Parzival?  I have not read that particular work, but the explanation included in the footnote appears erroneous. 'Monsalvat', I imagine, would be 'my salvation', which has nothing to do with the namesake of the mountain.  It appears that the attribution is a result of perceived similarities in the anglicized spelling/pronounciation... Clayt85 (talk) 22:17, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There needs to be quite a bit more about the religious meanings. There is an article on Montsalvat, a 20th century artists' colony which tells us a bit about the Grail connection of the word, as well as that it means "Saved Mountain" in Catalan. There is also a brief mention in Montserat (monastery) about a Roman temple to Venus. There is much more to be said.     TomS TDotO (talk) 08:29, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

message: That must be wrong as Montserrat has never been a National Park but a Natural Park, which makes a great difference by law.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.224.95.15 (talk) 18:57, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
