Talk:List of mountains of the British Isles by height/Archive 1

Replacement of the "Height" article
There are several Wikipedia articles listing British (or UK) mountains by height, but they are of little use because their definition is not clear (e.g. what minimum prominence), or their sourcing is not clear (e.g. where did the data really come from). Several seem to have various individual edits on the data which makes their sourcing even more contaminated.

This new article gives a large ranking of BI mountains by height (it is all the Simms) so that the rankings across the Britsh Isles can be seen. Importantly, the data is sourced from the DoBIH (which operates under a CC-BY-3.0 Unported licence), so it is important that NOBODY mess with these figures; I have not manipulated or amended DoBIH's data in any way except to only take out the columns shown (which are the only DoBIH columns on height and prominence). If you have a problem with a name or figure etc., note it (and e-mail the DoBIH team), but don't change the article data as otherwise the sourcing will become compromised and, like the other listing by "heights" articles, of no real use to anybody.
