ACK! What a mouthful! Is this an original article, or copied from somewhere? Can we cut the title down to something manageable? -- Zoe
It appears to have been a section subtitle of the Alps article taken from the 1911 Brittanica text, which was later broken out from that overlong page. --Brion
Ah, a Britannicoid. Figures. Try googling for "Where the St Gotthard train now thunders". DS 21:04, 31 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
I have updated the paragraph Eastern Alps in the section Political history and modern state of the inhabitants of the Alps. The text, which was obviously taken from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, reflected the situation before World War II. For sources, see especially the article on South Tyrol.
This "bold" rewrite was not necessarily an improvement.
Going on about "Ancient Times" and showing as lead image "The Monument of Horace-Bénédict de Saussure and Jacques Balmat, in honor of their claimb(sic) of the Mont Blanc". This is not "history of alpinism". I don't see why these changes were kept. --dab(𒁳) 10:56, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
