Lead conflict and reference issues.

The title of the article is Pembina Escarpment which is obviously not debatable. What is questionable is the lead. The opening sentence not only infers that the article is misnamed it screams it in bold letters. The article title is whispered (in parenthesis) behind Manitoba Escarpment.

We either need to seek a title change or reverse the order to:

The Pembina Escarpment (known in Canada as the Manitoba Escarpment )...

I could change this, pretty much without logical arguments, but I will leave this to the major contributor. I checked the first of only two references and 404: Page Not Found was returned. I am involved with an article (Draft:Pembina Territory), that was converted to draft, that has six references.

The escarpment is one of two ecoregions, the other being the Northern Glaciated Plains, and this is not mentioned in the article even though the only active reference supports this. This is a stub article so obviously needing expansion and references but a stub since 2007 give rise to doubts. Is there anyone around involved in this article?

Edited the lead a little. Manitoba Escarpment redirects to Pembina Escarpment so it remains bolded.-- Kayoty (talk) 06:17, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It looks much better. I prefer the equal treatment of the Canadian name than parenthesis. In fact, I think the 4th paragraph should probably be in a Canada section. Otr500 (talk) 10:36, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
