Format Comment

I moved the images to be in-line with the text. I think it looks better this way, but I'm open to differing opinions. JJ 16:57, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You could spread them out a bit more. IMHO things look best when you average one pic per screenful - less is too plain, multiple images on-screen starts to look a bit cluttered. Stan 18:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean by "screenful." Edit the article per your suggestion, and I'll give you my HO. Thanks for your comments. JJ 18:49, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Regional map

This topic is in need of attention from an expert on the subject.

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 18:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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

Pinkham Notch

Can Wikipedians viewing this article also take a look at Pinkham Notch? I wrote it, and would appreciate suggestions. Thanks! – Sturgeonman 00:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation page?

With all due respect (plus a little humor) "The White Mountains" is a region.

I believe technically the group of mountains are called "The White Mountain Range" (not the plural- "The White Mountains Range") by most geographers.
The state has an official White Mountains Region.
This page is all about the mountain range and should have been called "White Mountain Range (New England). :)

So I changed the italic note at the start, and added White Mountain Regions to the White Mountains disambiguation page and etc. :) --Rcollman 18:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

White Mountain Range?

As a local, we call the mountains up here "the White Mountains," not "the White Mountain Range." So, the change to call them the White Mountain Range seems inappropriate. Comments? JJ 23:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, and sorry for the tempest to everyone. Trust the Feds to screw things up with "The White Mountain National Forest" name. Flatlanders say they are going hiking in the Whites. As a transplant when I talk to someone from New York City, I say I live in the White Mountains. Actually, my favorite line used to be "I live in the White Mountains almost under the Old Man's nose, in Franconia". :) Somebody edited out my edit when I tried to insert 'region' into the introduction. It is both and I think the comment was that 'this was only about the Mountain range'. I over reacted because of the (NH) in the title and the Whites extended into Maine according to the page, sigh. Then I did research and found that there was a White Mountains Region page, so I did a couple of links and that solves all my major informational related issues. However, I wonder if Killington is going to be part of the White Mountains when it joins NH? Comments <big grin> --Rcollman 03:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I just changed the header to "White Mountains" only, since "Range" isn't part of their name. Your edits to the disambiguation page have cleared up any confusion people may have over the region versus the mountain range. See you, Ken Gallager 14:00, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Map?

A map of the range and/or a list of the mountains in the range would be extremely helpful! – SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fastest Wind

Evidently the Mt. Wash. windspeed has been supplanted, the Mt Wash. Observatory is currenting reviewing the data of the Aussies, but this will most likely required an edit to the aritcle. Mirboj (talk) 09:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the Appalachians?

If the White Mountains formed because of a hotspot, after the other Appalachian ranges were formed, why are the former considered part of the latter? From what I understand, the fact that the Adirondacks formed much earlier than the rest of the Appalachians is why they are considered separate by some definitions. ZFT (talk) 00:44, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The hotspot intruded into existing bedrock that is part of the Appalachian Mountains geology. Only about half of the White Mountains consists of hotspot magmas; the rest are older Appalachian rock series, such as the Littleton Formation that comprises the Presidential Range. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:32, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
