[edit] Highest Mountains

I'm not aware of any ski slopes on Mount Abraham and will change that, if there are some correct me.

[edit] Regional map

• Regional map much needed + ASSERT EXPERT TEMPLATE and 'geo-stub for attention
  

(One showing other NEARBY mountain regions WITH DIFFERENTIATION)

• I was trying to see the Catskills extent relative to the map in Appalachian Plateau... but others would have a similar need trying to distinquish between the Green Mountains,VT; The Berkshires in MA; and Adirondack Mountains. et. al. don't you agree? FrankB 18:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

• never put stub templates on a talk page! BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 00:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

• • And never put expert, cleanup, or other maintenance tags on talk pages – they go on the article itself. KrakatoaKatie 21:44, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mount Snow

• I'm not really sure why there is a reference to Mt. Snow in the 'See Also' section, since there isn't any particular reason why it needs more attention than any other Green Mountain. Vter4life 07:56, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Physiographic sections

What is a "Physiographic section?" How does that category help anybody with anything? I don't understand. (You might want to describe this on the category page). Student7 12:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm just starting out adding in physiographic information. This is a huge 'category' that is very poorly defined here on Wikipedia. As I progress (and hopefully others like yourself will see these and help contribute), the entire range of subjects will become more complete. As a start, you can see Physiographic regions of the world and Physical geography. If you're interested, any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated. wbfergus ^Talk 13:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

You apparently know what you are doing. At least I hope you do!  :) So that we might help, what, exactly, is this speciality? Geography? Geology? Civil Engineering? Cartography? Obviously articles can be in different classes and serve different purposes. My point in asking is this: should this fact be listed under geography in place articles? If so, how? And maybe why? Student7 14:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

For the most part (there are exceptions), physiographic areas are based upon landforms and the geologic structures that they are contained on. The geology usually helps define (through terrain features and rock types and ages and mineral content) the types of flora and fauna that are abundant in these reagions. Weather (climate) and hydrology (watersheds) also play a role in defining these areas as well. They are roughly analogous to ecosytems. So, there's really no 'easy' place to state this information in an article. I suppose on a case-by-case basis it would rewuire finding the most appropriate place for it within the current content. Eventually though, it may warrant its own distinct section within articles. Hope this helps some, it's a convoluted subject. Right now I'm still trying to get as many areas as I can wikilinked on the Physiographic regions of the world page, and adding the categories as I run across those pages that are linkable. Next, I'll need to finish fleshing out the main table with additional information and references, then as time permits add more content to the various linked pages. At least that's my plan so far. :^) wbfergus ^Talk 14:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
