Alps??

Are you nuts?? The Alps are between France, Italy, Switzerland and Austria!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.245.189.166 (talk) 00:52, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

This article exceeds its area. Sar_mountain-Pindos Alps are included in Dinaric Alps, which is not correct. That way we could include the Alps themselves into Dinaric Alps. Kopaonik mountain is questionable as the part of this mountain chain also. Kubura 12:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you read that properly - the article does not say that Šar and Pindus are part of the Dinaric Alps, it merely states that the latter stretch from the Julian Alps to those two. I'll rephrase those sentences to avoid the ambiguity. --Joy [shallot]

Apparently an anonymous user had wrongly added the entire southwestern part of the Balkans to the definition - which is wrong, and evident from the text which clearly states where the mountain direction changes to north-south - this region marks the beginning of a different part of the cordillera system or what's-it-called. I don't know if there's a group name for these mountains. --Joy [shallot] 22:12, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article was so exciting to read, the description of the geography left me feeling that I had actually experienced it first hand. One of the better written informational pieces on this website.

French Wikipedia

The extensive article in French Wikipedia, Alpes dinariques, needs to be translated and edited into this article.--Wetman (talk) 14:05, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dinaric Alps

There is a small section of the Dinaric Alps in Italy (around 50 km). This should be cited for completeness. --Silvio1973 (talk) 06:52, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hihgest peak is Triglav

If Julian Alps are part of Dinarides, then Triglav (2,863.65 metres (9,395 ft) in north west Slovenia is higher than Maja Jezercë in Prokletije.

The name Dinaric Alps is very unfortunate because it is not the Alps. Better name is Dinaric Mountains. Triglav lies in the Alps so it does not belong to the Dinaric Mountains. The highest peak will be Korab because the Šar Mountains and Korab Mountains should probably also be counted among the mountain chain Dinaric Mountains. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.9.155.173 (talk) 20:15, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
