Western Limestone Alps
[edit]Where did the term "Western Limestone Alps" come from? Unfortunately, the original editor User:Bermicourt has retired. In German language, this southwestern part of the Eastern Alps is called "Westliche Ostalpen", which literally translates as "Western Eastern Alps". There are only few limestone peaks in this group, so in my personal opinion, the term is not helpful. Is there any literatur on the subject that was probably not derived from WP? --Kuhni74 (talk) 14:43, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- I just saw that the "Western Limestone Alps" were introduced here in 2015 by User:Look2See1, who was blocked in 2017. In the German WP, the literal translation "Westliche Kalkalpen", which means something entirely different, were introduced in 2020. But on List of mountain groups in the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps, they were introduced in 2013 by @Bermicourt:, who obviously replaced "Western Eastern Alps" with "Western Limestone Alps", similar to when he replaced "Northern Eastern Alps" with "Northern Limestone Alps" (which is not analogous, however). --Kuhni74 (talk) 23:11, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
