This statement was questioned (parentheticall) in the article. That's inappropriate for the article text, but entirely appropriate here. Please edit the article if you can document that this statement is not accurate:

Hmm. Reading farther, the article (based on 1911 E.B.) devolves into a lot of self-questioning. I'm putting a cleanup tag on it. Kbh3rd 18:54, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Is the statement about hunting being banned since the 1970s correct? There are sites like http://www.adkhunter.com/ that are about hunting in the adirondacks. -- ChrisRuvolo ( t) 02:37, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Hunting IS allowed in the Adirondack State Park. http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/08guidedeer.pdf I live near the park and hunt there often. Many of my neighbors own hunting camps in the Adirondack Park. Also, While many of us do believe that wolves were released secretly by the DEC, I do not believe that there is any documentation on this. If so, please provide it. 63.167.255.152 ( talk) 20:17, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the "dated info" warnings
because it appeared to me that, after I pulled the sentence about the summits being easily reached by stagecoach, that the bulk of the dated material had been taken care of.
That said, a fair amount of the dated material was handled by changing present tense verbs to past tense, leaving an odd mix of current description with historical description. Clearly what is needed is a History section-- then the historical info can be gathered there and all will be jolly. If there is a problem, it is, perhaps, that the history of the Adirondacks is a pretty big subject, and I know I'm not really up to it, unless I take it a wee bit at a time. Any takers? – Mwanner 23:08, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
I'm removing the reference in the High Peaks section that says erosion may be responsible for the fact that several of the peaks considered to be 4,000 feet in the 1897 survey are now not considered to be 4,000 feet. The closest of the four peaks so "shortened" are Blake and Cliff, at 3960 feet. The idea that in less than 100 years these peaks lost 40 feet of their height due to erosion is ludicrous. I could POSSIBLY see it if they were not tree-covered and landslides could be involved, but this is not the case. The other two are Nye and Couchsachraga, both of which are under 3900 feet, and again, tree-covered. Colden46 20:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I changed the bit about Lake Placid being the source for the Au Sable as it isn't true. For one summer I worked as a field tech and one of my jobs was to measure the waterflow of the Au Sable above, at, and below the confluence with Outlet Brook (which connects Lake Placid to the Au Sable). once every month or so. The Au Sable above Outlet Brook puts out a lot more water during any given season than Outlet Brook does. I'm not sure what the source for that information is, but it's possible that it's relying on DEC measurements which are not only old, but usually inaccurate and horribly incomplete. -- BridgeBurner 21:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I was trying to see the Catskills extent relative to the map in Appalachian Plateau... but others would have a similar need trying to distinquish between the Green Mountains,VT; The Berkshires in MA; and Adirondack Mountains. et. al. don't you agree? Fra nkB 18:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Could anybody for the help of poor ignorant foreigners add the correct pronunciation of Adirondacks, preferably in phonetic script (IPA)? -- Hartmut Haberland 21:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
The article would benefit from a section on flora and fauna, particularly anything unique to the region. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.215.132.137 ( talk) 21:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
I can not believe the glaring, crashing inaccuracy which was apparent in the previous history section with regards to aboriginal use of the land. Shocking! I've fixed that up a bit. Should the history not come before the description of the present day park? That makes a lot more chronological sense, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.216.228.171 ( talk) 00:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Take a look at this link to the 1911 Britannica seems like a lot of the article as of June 2015 came from here. -- Cornellier ( talk) 10:29, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
This article might benefit from a Climate section, especially since the high peaks have more extensive permafrost than the White Mountains. See, for example: M.T. Walegur & F.E. Nelson: Permafrost distribution in the Appalachian Highlands, northeastern USA. User:HopsonRoad 13:30, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
"n 1664 the land came under the control of the English when New Netherlands was ceded, and logging operations started soon after,[3] resulting in massive deforestation. The land obtained by the U.S. Government was redistributed "
Obtained by the US Govenment ? In 1664 ? "redistributed" ?
Could someone translate that into English, please ? With special attention to the fact that there was no US government (note the small g) in 1664 ? And that normally land obtained by the government is not 'redistributed' (except very quietly, to the banksters) ? 210.22.142.82 ( talk) 01:57, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Adirondack Mountains/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
As currently noted on the article page, there is a considerable amount of uncited material. While much of it is probably based on information provided by the "Sources" section, B class cannot be achieved until this issue is addressed. RedWolf ( talk) 03:49, 1 September 2010 (UTC) |

The file NortheastAppalachiansMap.jpg is incorrect. The Adirondack Mountains are not a part of Appalachian Mountains. That map should be removed from the page and from Commons. Thx, -- YB ✍ 13:18, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
I plan on fixing the problem noted if no objections are heard.
