message: Should this article not be merged with Four Corners Monument. Both articles are about the same thing and there both quite small

:No, one is a region of the United States and the other is a monument. They're both named after the same thing, but they are distinct. Merenta (talk) 18:06, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Merenta's is right, yes technically they are 2 different things. One being a region, the other being a monument at a point for which the region is named.  However, as currently written, both articles are highly redundant. Most of the content in both articles is actually more appropriate for the Four Corners Monument article. My vote is to move or delete the content on Four Corners that actually belongs on the monument page. Then re-do the Four Corners page with regional informationDave (talk) 20:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a splendid idea! Merenta (talk) 20:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

text: The monument page should be moved to the Four Corners (United States)  as it's an attraction in this area.  The Four Corners (United States) page will probably see more traffic as it's linked from every radio station page in the area because of :Template:Four Corners Radio (which is how I found this page in the first place.--Rtphokie (talk) 00:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you explain your logic? I fail to see how page traffic is a valid factor for a decision. Playing Devil's advocate, I'd say the best reason for merging is that currently both articles are short and are about at least related subjects. I think I'll let this sit for a couple of days, If nobody else opposes gutting the Four Corners article, I'll give it a shot.Dave (talk) 05:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I was responding to the suggestion that the regional information be merged to the page on the monument.  The monument is a feature of the area and if anything the monument page should be merged to the page covering the region.--Rtphokie (talk) 21:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK I'm working on a re-write of the Four Corners page. If anybody wants to participate it's currently at User:Davemeistermoab/sandbox Dave (talk) 02:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I uploaded my draft. Hopefully this is enough to resolve the merge question. If not, please re-issue it.Dave (talk) 21:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Your edit looks very good, my only suggestion would be that the article be moved to Four Corners (United States) and ]]Four Courners (disambiguation)]] be moved to Four Courners.  This is a common geographical term used in severl locations world wide, no need to make these wiki pages so US centric.--Rtphokie (talk) 21:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

text: FWIW, Googling "Four Corners": The first four Non-wikipedia hits are clearly referring to the intersection of UT/CO/NM/AZ. On the first page of hits, only one is not referring to this Four corners. (refers to a place in Florida). So assuming Google is the all powerful arbitrator, having this be the main Four corners article may be appropriate.Dave (talk) 22:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder if that's because google.com may be optimized for US-centric results.  If you take a look at google.com.au or google.co.jp or google.co.uk a more ambiguous mix of results is evident.  I'm only a casual user of wikipedia and don't really know what the editing rules are, so will leave it to you guys, but from my perspective, the suggestion to have Four Corners as a disambiguation page and this content on Four Corners(United States) seems like a good one... a little less loaded with implicit assumptions.108.7.35.55 (talk) 20:42, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Better map? 

message: This article has always suffered from people confusing the monument with the region. Though a few attempts have been made to clarify, people still think this is the monument article. Exhibit A was the edits made today resulting from the AP article about the misplaced monument (which should have zero affect on the article about the region).
How about putting different pictures on this article? The current ones are of the monument. How about putting instead photos of, say, Monument Valley or from the Navajo Nation article instead? Dave (talk) 02:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If this page is to be mainly about the region and only passingly about the monument, then perhaps the stuff about the monument being in the "wrong" place should be taken out and left on the monument's page. It strikes me as a rather minor bit of semi-old news that isn't even news at all, and wrong anyway. Pfly (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. What I was thinking was mentioning the article for the monument in a hatnote above the article. Then mentioning the monument in one other place, perhaps in the first sentence of an "overview" type section. The stuff about the not-so-misplaced marker should go. Dave (talk) 03:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely. The "controversy" section seems to make too much out of one or two minor (and incorrect) news items from nearly a year ago. There is no "controversy", is there? Doesn't seem worth even mentioning either here or on the monument page, really. Pfly (talk) 17:55, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless anyone object, I'll do some work as time permits this weekend. I'll tone down the "controversy" section on the monument article and fire up the chainsaw on this one. Dave (talk) 18:28, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changing the photos on this page 

message: I'd like an image with the states numbers according to their order of establishment. And/or an image with the states given their two-letter state abbreviations. --user:MartinHarper  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.211.143.4 (talk) 21:34, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The article for the monument, Four Corners Monument, does have images showing the placement of the states, but I'm not aware of one created showing the chronological order of their creation. The closest would be the articles showing the civil-war era debate over splitting the New Mexico Territory, at Arizona Territory (Confederate States of America), etc. Dave (talk) 22:00, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I added Durango's airport (DRO) to FMN as it receives significantly more commercial traffic. I also added Cortez (CEZ) as I know some folks travel commercially through it. There may be other equally small airports... It might be more realistic to mention only DRO. May also be worth mentioning the closest international airports, which I believe would be ABQ, PHX, SLC, and DEN, probably in that order. Josh Powell (talk) 20:57, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
