Panamit Range was formed by tension stress. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.160.201.172 (talk) 04:11, 2 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Mount Whitney is the highest point in the contiguous 48 states, not the highest point in North America. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.232.61.210 (talk) 03:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

The range can be considered in the eastern portion of any. There is no definitive boundary, though the Tehachapi Mountains are often used. The Panamint Range is below their main axis=spine. However the Panamint are part of the Mojave Desert which is classified as a Southern California Desert. Since categories and lists help wiki-users find articles on placenames, it seems both designations would be for the greatest good.Look2See1 t a l k → 21:25, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Look2See1. The Wikipedia categorization guideline states

Pages are not placed directly into every possible category, only into the most specific one in any branch. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C.

This article is already a member of category Category:Mountain ranges of the Mojave Desert, which is a subcategory of Category:Mountain ranges of Southern California. It seems that the guideline would suggest that this article only contain Category:Mountain ranges of the Mojave Desert, since that is the most specific. It could be that Category:Mountain ranges of the Mojave Desert should also be a sub-category of Category:Mountain ranges of Northern California, but the article should be in only the most specific. —hike395 (talk) 07:59, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, again. We never resolved this issue from 30 April --- I'm still thinking that we should remove Category:Mountain ranges of Southern California. Look2See1: do you see a compelling reason to keep the category in the article? —hike395 (talk) 04:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi hike395, Thanks for patience discussing this. Saw this talk page flag just after coming across the Scodie Mountains article, & seeing its Category:Mountain ranges of Southern California already there, and wondering anew where is "that line"? The locator map on "the Scodie's page" might help - there is a rather straight east-west line along tops of [[San Luis Obispo County, Kern County, and San Bernardino County. On the coast San Luis Obispo tends to be considered the division...... I'm not touching "Central" :-)

Perhaps allowing for a northward bulge for the "main northern Mojave Desert" into lower Inyo County ? - putting the Coso Mnts.-Panamints & Panamint-Death Valleys = southern; and Alabama Hills-Inyo Mnts. & Owens-Saline Valleys northern ? I'm not a geographer and just one opinion, so with that limitation could this be something to try ? -- and see what the response is ? - thanks, ---Look2See1 t a l k → 23:50, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry hike395, just reread older text above & seems issue is about Category:Mountain ranges of the Mojave Desert being enough & not adding :Category:Mountain ranges Northern or :Category:Mountain ranges Southern. That is fine by me, seeing what you say about not putting every category on an article. Will leave my north-south ramble here for reference-- thanks, ---Look2See1 t a l k → 23:58, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Thanks! —hike395 (talk) 01:10, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I again respectfully invite editor User:71.219.184.69 (& User:71.219.172. 174 et al - regardless of IP# used) to discuss issues on this talk-page, and not use same poor faith, accusatory-abusive language, & incorrect assumptions only in edit summary.---Look2See1 t a l k → 00:35, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Serial reversions without discussing.

This article does not belong in Category:Great Basin but in Category:Geography of the Great Basin. Don't know why the note was in the article, but it was the wrong category. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:40, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
