Binevenagh
Great job Asarlaí :) Just one small point; you have Binevenagh on its own but in fact it's part of the Antrim Plateau. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjmullan (talk • contribs)
 * Cheers. I've fixed it now. ~Asarlaí 00:33, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Donald's Hill
Me again Asarlaí :) I think you may have made a mistake in placing Donald's Hill in the Antrim Plateau rather than in the Sperrins? Bjmullan (talk) 17:42, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought it was part of the Sperrins too, but MountainViews places it in the "Keenaght area". This area includes Binevenagh (part of Antrim Plateau) in the east and Loughermore (isolated) in the west. Looking at a relief map on MountainViews and here, you can see that Binevenagh and Donald's Hill are part of the same "ridge". Binevenagh is at the northern end and Donald's Hill is at the southern edge. Benbradagh (Sperrins) is just a short distance further south of Donald's Hill, but there's clearly an area of lowland between.
 * What do you think? ~Asarlaí 18:07, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Just had a look at the Sperrin Tourism site and they have both Donald's Hill and Loughermore coloured brown which would indicate they are part of the Sperrins but to be honest Asarlaí I'm not sure (see here. I always thought that Keady Mountain (Just north of the B66 between Limavady and Ringsend and too small to be mark on maps) was the northern reach of the Sperrins which would make Donald's hill also part of them. I know the area well and from an on the ground topology feel I would go with the sperrins but that's not very scientific! And the spanner in the works is that "an ignimbrite formation can be found at the western edge of the plateau" of Donald's Hill which would tie it to the Antrim Plateau which was formed from molten lava.

 * I guess all we can do is follow what reliable sources say. Since the only one we have right now is MountainViews, we'll have to leave it the way it is. If you come across any other sources (ones that agree or disagree with MV), post 'em here. I'll do the same. ~Asarlaí 21:32, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, it's something I will have to look into in more detail. Again great work that you are doing :) Bjmullan (talk) 22:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

irish mountain heights
why are all the heights for irish mountains incorrect on wikipedia-example carrauntuohill 1039m?sorry its more like 1040.8 i.e. 3414 feet!all the others are wrong too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amazon543 (talk • contribs) 19:17, 23 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I've already responded to the same question at Talk:Carrauntoohil. We have to accept what the OSI says here, unless you have some other WP:RS. ww2censor (talk) 21:51, 23 July 2011 (UTC)


 * we have to accept what the osi says well i have 2 ordnance survey of ireland government maps dated 1964 and one dated 1977 and they both clearly state 3414 feet-which if you convert is 1040 metres.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amazon543 (talk • contribs) 22:14, 24 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, indeed, I too have old Irish OSI maps that vary with what OSI currently states. Go fight with them. ww2censor (talk) 02:22, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Provinces
Oughtn't these be listed in alphabetical order? -- Evertype·✆ 13:29, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Grid references
Please restore the grid references as this is important information. There are other ways of reducing the width of the table.Ehrenkater (talk) 13:38, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will re-run the table and put it back in. I also realised the table also needs a column of "prominence" heights, which is key to being on the table. Britishfinance (talk) 16:12, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I have added in a new section on the 273 Irish Vandeleur-Lynams, in which I have included MountainViews data on Topo Map, Grid Ref and Coordinates (e.g. same data that is used in the INFOBOX/Mountain, which should be useful). Britishfinance (talk)
