Talk:Haytor

Hay Tor or Haytor?
There are 725 Google hits for "hay tor" compared to about 102,000 for "haytor". It's also shown as "Haytor" on OS maps, so I suggest the article should be renamed. Any comments? Smalljim 23:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename – if its name is Haytor, then the article should reflect that. EdJogg 11:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Moved – I've moved the article and renamed the links that point to it (I suppose not necessary, but...). Thanks. Smalljim 23:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

New photo
Chris huh's new photo of Haytor is very fine … but I'm concerned about the colouration of the tor caused by the evening light. It looks as if it's made of sandstone, not granite. As such I don't think it's really appropriate for the main photo in the article: it's an artistic photo rather than an encyclopedic one. Any comments? —S MALL JIM   11:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Like you say - nice photo but I agree it is not representative of Haytor in particular & granite tors generally -- Herby talk thyme 11:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually you;re right, i'll put back the other photo that was there. That's clearly made of granite. C  hris_huh talk 12:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded a colour-corrected version of the photo (preview size only). Is this perhaps worth using? —S MALL  JIM   14:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me - nice work -- Herby talk thyme 15:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Current event?
I have removed the "current event" tag, as I can see nothing in the article to justify it. The text mentions a cycling event, but the detail in the source shows that even that isn't until September. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:20, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Would it be this? -- Racer X11 Talk to me Stalk me  00:27, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Low man
Is it worth noting that, climbers especially, divide the tor into two sections? The top higher tor being known as "Haytor" and the larger lower face as "low man".

 * Since the name appears in a few other references too, I've added a brief mention of it. —S MALL  JIM   13:58, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Rename to Haytor Rocks
Article originally named as "hay tor", then renamed to "Haytor" with argument that OS maps named it "Haytor".

OS Maps names it as "Haytor Rocks" Link1 Link2.

The database, Tors of Dartmoor, names it as Haytor Rocks.

The national database, Database of British and Irish Hills, names it as Haytor Rocks

I suggest the article should be renamed to Haytor Rocks. Any comments? Jasskurn (talk) 13:38, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
