Keppel Gate/TT Course Template Box.

This point on the Snaefell mountain course or Mountain Course is preceed by the 33rd Milestone and the next following point on the course is Kates Cottage. The title of the course is Snaefell Mountain Course or Mountain Course rather than Isle of Man TT Course as there has been more than one 'course' and also the Tourist Trophy racing on the Isle of Man for cars predates the races for motor-cycles.

Also the position on the map is also inaccurate. Perhaps you would like to correct this as with other points on the Snaefell mountain course and use a better map that already exsists. Would someone alter the title of the Template Box as I have been unable to do so. (11thmilestone (talk) 12:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC))

If there are particular facts that you feel are inaccurate, then you should correct them. However, large-scale reversion of unrelated changes is vandalism, and you should desist from such actions.

Wikipedia's Manual of Style says that the most common name should be used to refer to things: the TT Course is vastly, vastly more regularly referred to as the 'TT Course' - it's the current one, even though there were obviously other incarnations at earlier times. 'Snaefell Mountain Course' is a much more niche term. Mauls (talk) 21:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
