– Page 'K. Mountains' was created correctly as (now a redirect Kittatinny Mountains (edit talk links history), and when no opposition appeared, was moved per RfM. Template:BullR Redirect Kittatinny Ridge (edit talk links history) was created separately, also correctly, with a proper broader focus. The mountain chain is a continuation of the ridge running from New York, through New Jersey, cut by the Delaware River (Delaware Water Gap) and runs about 150 miles tending south in Pennsylvania as the first barrier ridge of the Ridge-and-Valley_Appalachians as it is the southern/eastern outlier of the the Ridge-and-Valley_Appalachians geologic province and actually extends into Georgia past Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and North and South Carolina.Template:BullR The real impetus for this suggestion is Kittatinny, by any name is geophysically part of the Blue_Mountain_(Pennsylvania) barrier ridge, sundered by the Delaware Water Gap. 'Loosing' the ridge characteristic in any name (an 's' suffix preserves it) to me confuses matters, relying on such a poor name choice is contraindicated. Template:BullR My preference would be to honor the USGS historic nomenclature most commonly seen on older USGS Map series, making 'Kittatinny Ridge' (New Jersey division) the primary article name, as the articles are about the chain... the ridge, not focused solely some local peak (which are mostly common referents to news coverage and smallish local municipal civil engineering project planning discussions. (For examples: See ridges labels on maps for examples: in Nesquehoning Creek (map: 1893 style "ridge" seen along some ridgelines, while other barrier ridges have "Mountain's'" instead and compare to Template:Adr (what is possible with USGS software - computer generated last few months. We no longer have to put up with features off center, or that have an quadrangle's edge division splitting the map).Template:BullR Furthermore, today, every coordinate on most our every articles can give users access geohack topographic maps with a few clicks, and depending on the service, the old alternative ridge names are alive and well. They are also far more plain to see with modern map software such as Acme mapper.com linked by the GNIS/USGS software — the author seems to be a bloody genius about combining and merging data from multiple sources.
