Talk:Mount Field National Park

How to write about the mountains within Mt Field NP

edit

Cheyne wrote about the Mt Field article:

Unfortunately, this article is rubbish and should be deleted and replaced with articles for each of the mountains mentioned, and perhaps others within the Mt Field National Park. There is no "Mt Field", per se, apart from Mt Field National Park. Mt Field East is 10.5 km away from Mt Field West; they are different mountains in the same park and in the same area of high country that is not named as a "range" (although the Rodway Range is a small range between Mts Field East & West). The Wellington Range has nothing whatsoever to do with this area. Mt Field West is 65 km straight-line distance from Mt Wellington!

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the area. What do folks think we should do? cheers, Cas Liber | talk | contribs 14:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

It is part of the wellington range. This is evidenced by the rock type among other things. Collins Cap, Tressle Mountain, Collins Bonnet etc are in between this and mt wellington. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • Do not support - we (?) in the tas project try to keep - where possible - geographical features separate from nat park articles - if possible - from what I have seen so far that is.. is what I first wrote.
  • However on reading the relayed message - I would suggest that an example might be West Coast Range is what I did with that issue of multiple mountains requiring articles... they link from it
  • Regardless of whether the article is rubbish - I do not agree with deleting - have it - like the West Coast Range article - as a lead in and link to the other articles - very easy to do..

The point is the larger/wider innacurate term of Mt Field NP is what most enquiries would go to first - I would challenge anyone to name all west coast range mountains in correct order from the south - the larger titles broader name is very useful lead in for the less familiar reader...

Lake Seal in Mount Field National Park, Tasmania. Mt Bridges is visible in the centre, Platypus Tarn in the foreground, and Lake Webster in the background. The Rodway Range and the Tarn Shelf are partially visible on the left. The remains of a cirque glacier are visible in the walls around the lake.Photo: Noodle snacks
