Book Notice
I think that it should go, at least until there is an article on it.

About the last paragraph, is there any article talk about the sky islands in those places?

Baja California?
And how is it a "sky island"? I got a feeling that the definition is being stretched here. What are the sources for this list of "sky islands"? Kortoso (talk) 21:32, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Inclusion on list
Most of the listed mountains have nothing on their individual article pages that would merit them being called "sky islands". Most mountains have a variety of life zones; that alone does not make a sky island. Let's dig up some sources to support these. Kortoso (talk) 21:55, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Users will think the article refers to mountains that float above clouds
Readers in a hurry will see (the great) File:SkyIslands from SantaCatalinaMtns.JPG and think the article refers to mountains that appear float above clouds. So you might want to warn readers that it doesn't. Jidanni (talk) 11:34, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
