External Links

Hi, i don't consider the links to Pyrenees Guide and Pyrenees Tourism as inappropriate external links. Pyrenes Guide was long time ago in the Wikipedia Pyrenees page, and includes more than 1000 articles about the Pyrenees culture, villages, people, events, walking routes etc...

Regarding Pyrenees Tourism, includes a guide, maps, forum, ski resorts, spas, a directory... and everything to help the person that is interested in the Pyrenees.

They are not spam websites, i think they are good information resources about the Pyrenees Mountains and that is why i included them as external links. Sorry for my English. Regards

These are the links:

Pyrenees Guide a detailed guide of the Pyrenees Mountains.
Pyrenees Tourism travel information resource for the Pyrenees.

The 2 links that have been removed are 2 of the most popular websites (type Pyrenees in google) for information about the pyrenees mountains, they offer free accurate information in English. I don't understand why they are considered spam, but a site about trekking holidays (that is now as external link) is not.

Totally agree, the sites are absolutely correct and not commercial at all, at least not as commercial as the other site mentioned. I have used theese sites many times. David 09:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia removed

I took out the trivia. This was a reference to a really obscure sci fi story. Not worth mentioning in this article, IMO. Steve Dufour 18:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really an obscure sci fi story, especially with so much focus on Scientology in the new lately? Here is the line from the trivia section which I found in the edit history as of 18:32, 24 April 2007. Is there any point trying to incorporate this back into the article?

In the book Scientology: A History of Man, author L. Ron Hubbard referred to the Pyrenees as being the site of the last operating "Martian report station". For more information, see the article on Xenu.

this article needs a map

mountain torrent

Would anybody care to link to a definition of this word? Does it refer to Stream#Intermittent and ephemeral streams or a stream in general? Han-Kwang 17:04, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My edits

I just added some pictures that are more beautiful in my opinion. And, there are no Spanish spas mentioned which I did; and the Spanish political division should come first because 2/3 of the mountain is located in Spain. So it is NOT Spanish POV, and if you wish you might add pictures of the french Pyrenees instead of removing pictures from the Spanish side. --Gligan 12:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
