Talk:List of mountains of New Hampshire

message: This message was also posted by me to Talk:Four-thousand footers.  
I suggest that the article Four-thousand footers be kept in the "Mountaineering" category and dropped from the "Geography of New Hampshire" category, because there is an independent article List of mountains in New Hampshire. The 4K footer article covers the NE 4K and 100 Highest, which is not properly exclusively NH geography. The "List" article should be included in the "Geography of New Hampshire" category and renamed Mountains of New Hampshire so as to be consistent with the format for other geographical features. It can refer to the 4K Footers article and peaks appropriately marked as listed, but could also include others, such as Clay (er, Reagan), Jim, and smaller peaks such as Monadnock. Thoughts?

message: There seems to be no predictable way that the mountain articles have been named.  Some are named "x Mountain", and some are name "x Mountain (New Hampshire)".  I suggest that summit names that appear in more than one state in the GNIS, or in more than one Wikipedia article, be named "x Mountain (New Hampshire)", but that otherwise they just be named "x Mountain".  
Examples: 
*Mount Washington (New Hampshire) is correctly named, because there are many Mount Washingtons. 
*Boott Spur (New Hampshire) becomes Boott Spur, as there is only one.
*Cannon Mountain (New Hampshire) remains unchanged, because there are several Cannon Mountains in the U.S., even though there is only one Wikipedia article.
I will be removing "(New Hampshire)" from the article names for unique summits.  --Ken Gallager 12:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is that a year or two from now, as wikipedia slices the universe into ever-finer articles, are you sure that another Boott Spur won't show up? Plenty of these articles (including, I think, Mount Washington) were created without any geographic addition in wikipedia's earlier days, and have had to be moved since to make sure. Perhaps we should just leave them all in the same format. - DavidWBrooks 15:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose there's a remote possibility that there may be a Boott Spur (or whatever) in another country somewhere.  I know for sure, though, that there are no others (of the ones I've renamed) anywhere else in the U.S.  This is based on checking the USGS Geographic Names Information System.  I think it'll be pretty easy to keep on top of any surprises that turn up...  --Ken Gallager 12:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I noticed a mountain I climbed did not have an article so I made a stub: Dickey Mountain. It should probably be in the big Mountains of New Hampshire footer but I am not sure what range it belongs to. If someone more knowledgeable than me could slot it in, I'd appreciate it.

replies: text: Thanks for starting the article! I've placed it in the "Others (White Mountains)" box, since it is not part of any White Mountains subrange. Also, the article has a very nice photo of Welch Mountain, not Dickey. Welch is the pointier of the two mountains. --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:10, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks much -- will fix and re-upload with the proper name. Jessamyn (talk) 02:03, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

message: I'm working on an improvement to the main table at User:Sphilbrick/Mountains_of_New_Hampshire_table. Input welcome.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:17, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent job! It looks like it will be very usable. Just one question: why did you want the footnotes to go into a separate column? You could put them after the mountains' names and thereby save some space. But not a big deal. Thanks for your big improvement to the list, --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:00, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: What do people think should (and shouldn't) go in the "notes" field? I've added a couple of name hiking trails to the mountain(s) at each end of the trail, but not to mountains the trail passes over. That seems pretty basic but there are now two items in the "notes" for Mount Sunapee. It could get cluttered and not useful, if we're not careful. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 18:35, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
