Other Lookout Mountain

edit

  • Specific text to be added or removed: Wikilink to Lookout Mountain (Colorado) (but not the mention of a Lookout Mountain)
  • Reason for the change: There are multiple features in Colorado named Lookout Mountain, which seems to be causing a confusion regarding the wikilink provided in the article.
The location described by the article would be in Garfield County near 39°32′28″N 107°15′29″W / 39.541°N 107.258°W / 39.541; -107.258. It is near Interstate 70 Exit 121, serving the Grizzly Creek rest area, which is named after the same tributary of the Colorado River as the fire. This Lookout Mountain would appear to be otherwise insufficiently notable to merit its own article.
The location linked by the article, Lookout Mountain (Colorado), is in Jefferson County near 39°43′55″N 105°14′20″W / 39.732°N 105.239°W / 39.732; -105.239 and I-70 Exit 256. This location is well outside of the closed section of I-70, between Glenwood Springs, Colorado (I-70 Exit 116) and Dotsero, Colorado (I-70 Exit 133).
Since I'm employed by Colorado Department of Transportation, I'm including the edit COI template.
  • References supporting change: Are coordinates already provided (by others) in the two articles sufficient? There's a roughly two degree difference in longitude.

Sounds reasonable. I wonder if it would be useful to somehow include some text in the article to clarify this point, perhaps as a footnote?
If we don't do something along those lines then the same (rather understandable) mistake is going to be made time and again by well meaning editors. Axad12 (talk) 06:30, 11 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
