editI moved the page...the mountains themselves are referred to as the Big Horns (two words). Associated rivers, the national forest, etc. utilize the combined form of Bighorn. It's not that big a deal, but there is this as a disambiguation [1].--MONGO 09:35, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
- 'Big horn mountain' is used in about 2,000 articles and 'bighorn mountain' is used in about 2,300. 'Big Horn Mountain range' is used in about 80 and 'Bighorn Mountain range' is used in about 50 articles. This article from wyo.gov uses both spellings. The link http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/bighorn/about/facts/ from February 25, 2005 wayback machine stated, "The Forest and river are referred to as "Bighorn" (single word), while the mountain range itself is referred to as the "Big Horns"." http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/bighorn/about-forest now omits the Bighorn" / "Big Horns" sentence. The 1962 Official Board Decision on "Bighorn" is mentioned here. I'm fine with what ever you decide regarding Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names). -- Jreferee (talk) 13:56, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Moved to Bighorn Mountains per USGS topos and GNIS - and the existing usage in the page. Vsmith (talk) 14:40, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Images
editHi I added some photos 2 this page over 2 years ago, just curious why they were deleted.JohnDavidStutts (talk) 06:46, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- No idea why they were removed, I've reinstated them. --Mike Cline (talk) 13:55, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Unprotected National Forest
editBack in 2012, a large piece was added about Cloud Peak Wilderness area and "unprotected National Forest" land (mentioned 3 times). I agree Cloud Peak has special protections, but National Forest lands are far from unprotected (logging is essentially prohibited, as are new roads, etc.). I put in a citation needed, I'm wondering if that word really applies or if it should be clarified in some way. Nerfer (talk) 17:03, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
