Season 2 final shot

As I wrote. The location is obvious to anyone that has been there and seen it. People pointed it out in May on Reddit and elsewhere. Finding a "reliable" 3rd party source pointing this out would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Sometimes WP is really taking pedantry to new levels... -Hekseuret (talk) 15:02, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's classic WP:OR. Since the name of the mountain was not mentioned in the episode, adding a name requires support by a reliable source, which Wikipedia editors are not. It's not even clear whether the long shot is an actual image or CGI, another reason why a citation is required. In addition, since the series is a copyrighted work, the first link that you provided is a copyright violation making your first link a LINKVIO. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:16, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What does me linking to copyrighted images have to do with anything? I didn't even try to find "reliable sources" as you so obsessively ask for. Do I need to explain it even more simple so you can understand? The links were just for comparison so you or anyone else that doesn't believe it was the same location could see the distinctive similarities. The first link was just to show how it was on tv. The second link with actual real life aerial photos of the location. Why does it matter if they did in fact graphically enhance the looks of the mountain to a darker, bleaker and colder look, or if they addedd in the actor onto the mountain with CGI? The mountain features are still pretty distinctive. I guess you didn't even bother more than a brief glance of the pictures, if even that, or you would have seen. Even the other WP article has had it uncontested for a long time, but I guess now you probably are going to remove it from there too...

Would you delete an edit, call it original research and demand reliable sources if the location was of Ayers rock or Grand Canyon and also given similar pictures with the exact same point of view as on the show? That is why I call this extreme pedantry. -Hekseuret (talk) 17:56, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
