Edit Warring[edit]

There is a disagreement between myself and user:71.219.172.174. He or she wants to just have a geobox and minimal other information. I think the Raft River Mountains deserve a page with information on recreation, geology, and plant and animal life. I have attempted to compromise by blending both into the article, but that user will only accept their way, continually reverts edits, and calls my edits vandalism. I invite 71.219.172.174 to discuss this on this page, so we can create a page everyone is happy with. GreenGlass^(talk) 00:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This is an encylopedia article and the prose should be supplimented with geobox data, not replaced by it. Vsmith (talk) 15:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great Basin Divide[edit]

The range is part of the Great Basin Divide. The reference cited (not just the abstract) states on p. 210: Southern drainages that once flowed into Pluvial Lake Bonneville (Stokes 1987) now drain into the Bonneville Basin. If the northern slopes drain into the Snake R watershed and the southern slopes drain into the Bonneville Basin within the Great Basin then it must be on the divide. I suppose a claim of synthesis might apply here ... pretty durned obvious though. Vsmith (talk) 03:05, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Watershed box is misleading[edit]

I find it misleading to open this article and see a watershed box clearly featuring Idaho, when this range is in Utah. If it must be in the article, can it be moved lower so it's not the first thing seen? I'm not willing to edit it myself at this point because I'm tired of edit warring with 71.219.172.174 and his various sock puppets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GreenGlass1972 (talk • contribs) 03:52, 13 June 2010

Agree - will shift down. Would be nice to have a map with a location "dot". Vsmith (talk) 14:17, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! Thank you! That's a big improvement. I agree that a location dot would make it even clearer too. GreenGlass^(talk) 16:15, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
