Many central uplands

There are many central uplands: why is this not an article on, for example, the Massif Central? The Mittelgebirge makes a better, and perfectly familiar, title. Central uplands might be a disambiguation page linking, say, to Anatolian Plateau etc. --Wetman (talk) 06:56, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "Central Uplands" (title case) is the correct English proper name for the central mountains and hills of Germany and hence the correct title for this article. See the references to Dickinson (1964) and Elkins (1972) which I have added to the article for greater clarity. Confusion arises because das Mittelgebirge (singular) is German for a low mountain range, whereas die Mittelgebirge is their usual name for the Central Uplands of Germany (also referred to as die deutschen Mittelgebirge - see equivalent German Wiki article). I have added a clarification at the Mittelgebirge article to make this distinction clear. --Bermicourt (talk) 21:39, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As there has been no response to my comments and amendments after several weeks, I have removed the merge tags on the 2 pages concerned. --Bermicourt (talk) 20:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
