I am starting a major expansion of this page as a tribute to the late Catskill historian Alf Evers (1905-2004), who I think would have been honored. I dedicate this article to him. – Daniel Case
I love the Kaaterskill Falls pic, but it's not really directly relevant to the article content. Perhaps we could start a separate article on the falls? – Daniel Case 04:40, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I've reworded and punctuated the first paragraph or so under ==Name==. – Anonymous
The article states the Dutch word "kaatsbaan" refers to a tennis court. It doesn't, it refers to the area to play "kaatsen" (in English known as Frisian_handball) which is a sport that was already played in Holland in the early 16th century. JotM69 ( talk) 07:47, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Where does the suffix of Cats-kill come from, and what does it mean? I can't locate where this suffix came from. I recently visited this area of New York and noticed several areas with the kill suffix – 68.250.2.248 00:19, 11 October 2005 (UTC) (Bob Cesario)
Does the external link " The Catskills Institute - the Catskills in American Jewish Life" really belong in the article? I don't know if it's entirely appropriate to have a link geared towards a specific religion only (in an article that is not about religion). Moreover, the link is already part of the article History of the Catskill Mountains where it might be somewhat more relevant than in this article. -- Amit 23:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
(One showing other NEARBY mountain regions WITH DIFFERENTIATION)
Hi. I've removed the part in the first sentence about the Catskills not being "true geological mountains". This is because there is no such thing. The author may have been thinking of orogenic belts, but that makes no sense as many undisputed mountain ranges are also not orogenic belts (the Basin and Range). All things we call mountain ranges on the planet are uplifted areas which have significant topographic relief because of erosion. Even the Himalayas were once a plateau undergoing dissection. Certainly the Catskills can be differentiated from them now, but only on geomorphological grounds - not geological - and there is no doubt both types class as mountains. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.98.21 ( talk) 10:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
