Namesake
Hi, I think "the Olgas" were named after the Queen of Württemberg (Olga Nikolajewna Romanowa), not of Spain. (see e.g. ). As far as I know, it never exsists a spanish Queen with the name Olga... Gruß Kookaburra 21:38, 9 August 2005

Article name
The issue of the appropriate name for Australian landmarks such as Uluru/Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta/The Olgas is a sensitive one that has been debated for a number of years. Wikipedia has no role to play in that debate. It is appropriate that Wikipedia sidestep the debate by adopting the official name. In this case, the official name, according to the Gazetteer of Australia (link) is Kata Tjuta. Snottygobble | Talk 02:05, 5 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I beg your pardon; I am in error. A dual naming policy has been adopted.  The official name of Uluru/Ayers Rock is literally "Uluru/Ayers Rock".  Similarly, the official name of Kata Tjuta appears to be "Kata Tjuta/Mount Olga". Snottygobble | Talk 02:19, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Geology
The "no one is entirely sure" claim seems to be dispelled by http://www.deh.gov.au/parks/uluru/natural/geology.html which has an explanation of the formation of this feature which should be incorporated into the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beland (talk • contribs).

Composition
Also isn't Kata Tjuta composed of a conglomerate rock? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.214.75.49 (talk • contribs) 08:13, 31 December 2006.

Yes, that is correct (conglomerate). It's really cool looking up close ! (allthough not what what I expected as a non geologist). --User:Tanail (Boris Wawrik) 23:00, Jan 08,2007 (EST)

Number of domes
These rock formations are a remarkable group of 36 domes (now only 28), made from... Where are the missing 8 domes gone? --62.176.232.130 14:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah really. That was inserted by User:192.43.227.18 which is an address used by the University Of Adelaide and was probably just some college kid fooling around. I removed it. Herostratus 19:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

What does this mean exactly?
"Along with Ulu r u, 25 km to the east, Kata Tju t a forms one of two major landmarks within the Ulu r u-Kata Tju t a National Park."

Perhaps I should ask not what it means, but what it is meant to mean. The statement is also made on the Uluru page.

What this actually means is that Uluru and Kata Tju together make up one (yes just one) of the two major landmarks. And the question must be, well, if they are one of the landmarks, what is the other one?

If this isn't what is meant then it should say either:
 * Kata Tju and Uluru make up the two major landmarks of...
 * Kata Tju and Uluru are the two major landmarks of...
 * Togther with Uluru, Kata Tju is a major landmark of...

When someone has fixed this, please fix Uluru as well. --Amandajm 03:33, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Although I think the wording is ambiguous, I think the first wording you suggested is better so I've altered the page. Robert Brockway 08:13, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Name
Is Kata Tjuta the name of the entire range, as the introductory sentence says, or just Mt. Olga, as it says later? We should clarify it, I think. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 21:38, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
