I added bighorn sheep to the wildlife list. Above treeline, they're the most common large animal. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 15:44, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also took the liberty of deleting "Wyoming" from the image captions. Given that they're being used to illustrate an article about a range that is entirely within Wyoming, we can trust readers to figure out what state the mountains depicted in the illustrations are in. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 21:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And I've just changed "fir" and "spruce" to the more specific subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce, to go with the specific references to whitebark pine and lodgepole pine. We might also consider adding the quaking aspen and Douglas fir, both of which can, I believe, be found at many locations in the Winds. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 13:40, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image caption

The image from "atop Mt. Fremont" is clearly not showing the view from atop Mt. Fremont--if it were, there wouldn't be so many peaks nearby that rise so much higher. It looks to me like that picture was taken from one of the knobs in Indian Basin, on the way toward Knife Point Glacier. Could we maybe revise to "near Mt. Fremont"? 72.227.73.154 (talk) 18:08, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thank you for your comments - and suggestion - should now be better - let me know if otherwise of course - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 18:58, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hazards section

Why is the Hazards section copied verbatim onto the articles for every specific mountain in this range? See, for example:

- Three Waters Mountain

- Gannett Peak

- Cirque of the Towers

It's extremely redundant, and makes updating that section a pain since it must be carried over to all other articles. It also seems hardly relevant to most of the specific mountain pages. The only named mountain in the Hazards section, SquareTop (is that capitalized correctly?), doesn't even have its own article, instead linking to Pinedale, Wyoming, which, you guessed it, *also* has the same Hazards section, which is furthermore the *only* place where SquareTop is mentioned on the entire page (making the reference effectively recursive).
