Talk:Golden Ears Group

Move/rename
This is always known as the Golden Ears, period; the usage "Group" is a climbers' term only and to me, as someone raised within sight of these mountains on a daily basis, seems highly inappropriate and artificial. "Blanshard Range" is mentioned on the Richard Blanshard page but I find no mention of it in BCGNIS or Basemap; there are both a Blanshard Peak and a Mount Blanshard, with the latter redirecting here. I guess that's OK, the redirect taht is; but I don't like the title one little bit.Skookum1 (talk) 05:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * further comments here, as per an inquiry from User:The High Fin SpermWhale. As Mount Blanshard is the official name of this massif, as opposed to the peaks (not a single mountain), which are part of it, this page should just be retitled Mount Blanshard.Skookum1 (talk) 17:51, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge tags removed, this article needs renaming to Mount Blanshard. See User_talk:Skookum1.Skookum1 (talk) 05:44, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * There do not appear to be any objections (given this discussion and the fact that it's been posted at WP:CANBOARD for the better part of a year), so (if required) the request for an admin to undertake the move should be made at WP:RM under "uncontroversial requests". --Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:54, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Name origin
This bothered me on first sight:
 * Historically there has been confusion regarding the name of the area. Originally, the massif was referred to as The Golden Eyries, which became corrupted to Golden Ears''

Fairley and Ricker aren't online but I question the validity of their sources, as this is clearly wrong to me; "Golden Aeyries" was a later emendation that the Geographical Survey dismissed; see and ....the "ears", also, were meant to refer to donkey or mule ears; the earliest print reference on BCGNIS is to Lieut Richard Mayne, who cited it as an already known name; I don't know of any earlier reference to "Golden Aeries/Eyries/Aeries"....Fairley and Ricker are not reliable sources for historical information.Skookum1 (talk) 18:06, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
