Talk:Sangre de Cristo Mountains

message: I removed the redirect to Talk:Sangre de Cristo Range since the division between the two articles is pretty well established now. Comments about the Colorado portion (north of La Veta Pass) should go into Talk:Sangre de Cristo Range. -- Spireguy 02:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirect fix

message: I'm not happy with the list as it now stands.  This is a whole grab-bag of issues that probably were even worse before this list was made but should be fixed while there's a few editors looking at this
# Prominence is not the primary criteria for peaks, though it is a worthwhile piece of data.
# The 500-meter cutoff is also quite arbitrary as meters are not even used in Colorado; the cutoff that IS used is 300 feet but this is not always enforced for historical reasons (see Challenger Point). Imposing a strict cutoff of any sort will ignore some important peaks (including 14ers) and I doubt you have a source to show that there are not *unnamed* peaks that should be on the list by that criteria.
# The subrange entry includes Sierra Blanca as one of the possibilities.  I've seen different sites refer to the Sierra Blanca as part of the Northern Sangres or as their own subrange, I do not know what the USGS says about it.  However my main problem is that there is no article about the Sierra Blanca, only one about Blanca Peak which isn't the same thing at all.  That and the Sierra Blanca is not listed in this article as being one of the subranges!
Perhaps more to come.

thread_title: cool public domain photos

message: I love the summary of the notable peaks.  I am getting kind of confused, though.  The list of notable peaks is different in this article than in the Sangre de Cristo Range - and the source for the list in the range article.  Can someone help me out?  Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:34, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Oops, missed another thought:  The range article doesn't mention what are supposed to be the 2nd and 3rd highest peaks (from this article) in the Sangre de Cristo range: Mount Herard and Bushnell Peak.--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:39, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confused....

thread_title:  Literary references 

message: The section starts off with "...divided into various subranges, described here from north to south."  and then proceeds to list peaks by elevation, with information on the subranges in the comments of various peaks.  How about describing the subranges in a paragraph preceding the list and removing that info from the comment section of the list?  I'd need to confirm the north->south ordering of the subranges before I do a move myself.  Or has this been discussed and discarded already, and the starting sentence simply an artifact?

replies: text: I've made that change.  I think the clearer differentiation between peak info and subrange info makes it flow better. ZybthRanger (talk) (contribs) 19:48, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
