Gallery[edit]

Some of the pictures in the gallery are not of the Sawtooths. Jay Cooke Park is far removed from them, and I don't believe the cliff at Split Rock is part of the range. Is the gallery needed here? Kablammo 01:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jay Cooke is just southeast of Duluth, in a rocky, hilly area that is associated with the North Shore geologically, if not the Sawtooths technically. I think it effectively illustrates the geological character of the mountains, though it could be argued that it isn't within the mountains themselves. It would be useful to have a map with a circle around the range.
I believe that Split Rock should definitely be considered part of the Sawtooths, since it's absolutely within the geography of the hills and mountains of the North Shore. A much better illustration than either of these would be the one you linked to (Sawtooths seen from Grand Marais) or this one: http://steveshivers.netfirms.com/mtjosephinemn42.jpg - which I have requested permission to use. I haven't received a reply. One quality illustration of this nature would render a gallery unnecessary.Spottacus 18:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Thanks for asking following up with the permission request. Kablammo 19:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work, by the way, I like the way you've improved the page.Spottacus 21:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The gallery is gone. I got permission to use any pic from Steve's site as long as he gets credit for the photo. In fact, he gave blanket permission to use as many photos as we want in as many articles as we may need them for. I think I made a mistake in the upload to Wikipedia, however, because the photos are marked for deletion due to the nature of the permission received. I'll address the matter as soon as I can figure out what to do.Spottacus 22:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like Upham has this range at only 30 miles long, so I have deleted much that lies outside of it. The entire range of hills northwest of the lake, from Canada to west of Duluth, bore the historic name of the Cabotian Mountains or Cabotian Range, which could use an article (and redirect).
