Talk:Dolomites

message: Removed two useless tourism links (dolomiten.suedtirol.com & selvadicadore.biz) not even providing usefull information like maps or pictures).
Would also be nice if someone could find a map locating the Dolomites on the Italian/European map.

thread_title: Removed two useless tourism links 

message: I made a minor edit changing "...dolomite, a type of limestone..." to "...dolomite, a type of carbonate rock..." as dolomite definately is not a type of limestone, that is why it is called dolomite and not limestone (although there are "dolomitic limestones."

thread_title:  dolomite not a type of limestone 

message: This is a very weak article at the moment. It is little more than two large tables. It would be nice if we could expand it to include more information on the history, culture etc of the region. The Dolomites is a fascinating region. It deserves a better article.
:I agree. To improve this article, please see the Italian one and, if you can, translate it. --Gazal Cotre (talk) 11:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I have added a link to an external map. Take a look at it and let me know if you think it should be deleted. Mrslippery 23:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs new photo  

message: Marmolada is not made of dolomite stone, so it is not representative of the 'true' Dolomites (Dolomia-made mountians) although it is often called 'the queen of the Dolomites':, we need another picture. --Gazal Cotre (talk) 23:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marmolada and Dolomites 

message: The article contained (and will contain) two external links under the journal title "Eclectica." It does not call itself a journal, but a blog. It is written in the first person. It isn't really a blog, either. There is no discussion. I'm reminded of some links to Italy which call themselves "Tourist Sites" but are not that in the English sense. Instead they contain very scholarly, encyclopedic articles. This non-blog is similar. The articles referenced are excellent and contain some very enlightening photographs. I took the first one out but after reading the second I'm changing my mind. This was not published in a book but could have been. It contains first-person narrative but then so do many WP sources. Its own references are minimal. This is the author's direct observations. As long as HE does not put that on WP I think that is allowed. I don't know what to do with these informative and it seems to me encyclopedic articles. My inclination right now is to keep them. I will put the other one back, but they must be in proper format. If anyone has an objection or an opinion, please do weigh in, except for the author of the articles. Author, whoever you are, your assertions are not allowed. You can't put your own material in. Sometimes there are marginal cases and I think this is one of them. But this is my opinion.Dave (talk) 06:51, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Did these mountains have another name before being called 'Dolomites'? That seems to be a modern name, but surely they've been known since ancient times. Ventifax (talk) 05:37, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Other names? 

message: , welcome to Wikipedia. I reverted the change you made. The info you introduced to the article might be an improvement, but would be better placed in the Geography section. Please pay attention to grammar and punctuation as well, and make sure any links you create are valid. Also, please discuss issues on the article's talkpage (here), not in lengthy edit summaries. I'll put a couple guidance links on your talkpage. Eric talk 14:54, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Eric, thanks for kind support. I will enhance the changes with your pieces of advice, hoping they will be accepted next time AgordinoDolomiti (talk) 15:08, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
