A previous version of this article was deleted after being created by a sockpuppet account that established incorrect authorship attribution in violation of Wikipedia guidelines. The current article, created on 3 July 2010, creates accurate authorship attribution under copyright guidelines. - Tim1965 ( talk) 17:04, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Why is the Beartooth Mtn here when Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness (which I've hiked in) is way southeast of there? — Rlevse • Talk • 01:41, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Is the Sleeping Giant WSA "protected"? Yes. Not as protected as legally-designated wilderness, but protected. So I would re-add the term "protected" where it was edited out.
I struggle with how to identify the land the WSA protects. I want to call it a wilderness, even though it is not "legal wilderness." Calling it a "forest" doesn't work, because only about half the area is forested. Ditto for "plains" or "hills". Definining it as "an area" isn't descriptive. (And endlessly repeating "wilderness study area" is clunky. It also only addresses the legal definition, and does not physically describe the area.) Does anyone else have any ideas how to resolve this? (Perhaps I'm being nit-picky and it's not an issue at all.) - Tim1965 ( talk)
Where did the 11,000 acres figure come from? When I was drafting this article, I almost made the mistake of using the combined Sleeping Giant/Sheep Creek acreage (which is 10,454 acres) instead of just the Sleeping Giant acreage (which p. 295 of Chapter 3 of the BLM draft management plan says explicitly is 6,666 acres. I thought about writing an article about the combined WSAs, but couldn't find anything about Sheep Creek. - 00:30, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Is the southern edge of the Sleeping Giant WSA about equal with Ming Bar on the eastern side of Holter Lake? You betcha. See the BLM map. - Tim1965 ( talk) 00:32, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
