Campanula glomerata
I had to revert your edit at Campanula glomerata because it caused a template error. I am not going to fix the template to do what you wanted because the Wikipedia policy of no original research means editors should not use their personal experiences to write articles. Instead, articles are based on reliable sources. In particular, your change was very large (changing 1500 m to 2800 m). On the other hand, I do not see a reliable source verifying the original information. The altitude information is probably intended as a guide ("prefers"), and is not saying it cannot be grown at higher altitudes under some circumstances. Botany is not my specialty so I am not going to express an opinion other than what I've said here. For your information, the correct syntax follows: Questions can be asked at WP:HELPDESK.
