Did you intend to put these tags as headers on the main page? Pete Tillman 02:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC) reply

User:Node ue moved most of the Montezuma Well information to a separate page on 4/2/08. I thought we should discuss this before completing the move. As the Well is administratively part of Montezuma Castle National Monument, it might be best to keep both together. I don't see any real gain for users from splitting the page. Other opinions? Pete Tillman ( talk) 19:39, 2 April 2008 (UTC) reply

The well is its own geological entity, even if they are part of the same administrative entity. The earth does not care how we label it. It is after all 11 miles away from the castle itself. -- Node ( talk) 21:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC) reply

The article topic is the National Monument, of which the well is a feature just as the cliff dwellings are. That the National Monument derives its "castle" name from the cliff dwellings doesn't mean that's all it consists of. Postdlf ( talk) 23:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC) reply

As both are officially contained within the same National monument, they should be kept together. Anyway, it is not even close to long enough to require a split in the first place. Reywas92 ^Talk 00:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I don't think it's important to make a separate section for the Montezuma Well and it can just be part of the summary at the beginning where it can just be mentioned and perhaps include a small description of what it is and how it's connected to the castle.

I think it would be quite sufficient to simply note the historic origins of the name 'Montezuma Castle' with a comment to the inaccuracies contained therein. Additionally pointing out that the historic spelling "Montezuma" would be more accurately spelled "Moctezuma" is simply lecturing long dead explorers. Further belaboring the fact that "neither part of the monument's name is correct" is not necessary. Besides, lots of things get named based on incomplete or misinformation. The name given it by explorers is in fact historically significant. Perhaps, if they had access to wikipedia back then, they could have more properly named it 'This cool condo in the cliff that looks like what we imagine a castle built by Moctezuma would look like'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.63.232.6 ( talk) 22:56, 24 July 2012 (UTC) reply

I just deleted all that nonsense. It was essentially repeating content already in the article in an opinionated, unsubstantiated manner. 68.12.3.17 ( talk) 04:42, 27 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Can someone please correct the co-ordinates? Those given here link to Courthouse Square in the center of Prescott. Cactus Wren ( talk) 22:13, 28 September 2014 (UTC) Done. Reywas92 ^Talk 00:15, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

So I added and changed a few things; can be seen through my sandbox ^[1]

Source 3 still needs to be fixed, I tried to fix it but I could not. Dayanars ^Talk May 6 2019 —Preceding undated comment added 02:08, 6 May 2019 (UTC) reply
