Talk:List of mountains on Mars

Aeolis=Sharp
If Aeolis Mons redirects to Mount Sharp (Mars), and this is unlikely to change, they ought not to be linked separately (giving the illusion of two distinct links). —Tamfang (talk) 19:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

East/West errors
This list needs full recheck of coordinates. I think, it was (partially) made from the db from xephem: mars_db (1st external link in article). This DB uses North/West coordinate system (" # Name 	| Latitude, degs +N | Longitude, degs +W | Diameter, km | Feature Type "). But the list is given in North/East coordinates.

There is more actual database of montes from USGS, which can be used to regenerate the list: Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature (Mars,montes)

needs fixing up, but file:Aeolis Mons height comparison.svg exists now. Arlo James Barnes 02:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay, we still probably ought to distinguish elevation-above-areoid from topographic prominence, but it has been at least somewhat 'fixed-up' now and added to the article. Arlo James Barnes 16:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
