1400:) rises to your feet. Now slowly lower the imaginary sea level and an imaginary island appears beneath your feet. Your island will grow and will merge with other islands that will emerge. Eventually, your island will touch an island with a higher peak than your island (i.e., an imaginary island that existed before you started lowering the imaginary sea level.) The summit of that island will be the parent peak of the summit of your island, and the elevation difference of your summit and the elevation at which the two islands touch is the topographic prominence of your summit. It makes no difference how close or far the two summits are from one another. 928:

for several reasons. Apart from anything else, editors who keep changing to different IP addresses are quite likely to never actually see talk page messages, because by the time the message comes they have moved on to another IP address. There are other things which could be tried, but for the moment let's see if this block makes a difference. As you know, you could be seen as edit-warring, but as far as I am concerned, the important differences are that you have tired to start a discussion, and you have tried to offer a compromise, so I don't see that blocking you under present circumstances would be constructive.

1810:, where it is discussed at length. There are some variations in definition, but under all definitions, Aconcagua is Denali's parent. You can, in theory, walk along a ridge connecting the two summits. Aconcagua has no parent because it is the highest point of the Americas, which together form a single land area surrounded by the sea. By contrast, North America is connected to South America by a natural land bridge. It follows that no summit on the North American mainland is without a parent. 693: 772: 1504: 2277: 2155: 2018: 1930: 1842: 1714: 1586: 1244: 1087: 1789:

are both part of the American Cordillera, they are in separate ranges; the American Cordillera is described in Knowledge (XXG) as consisting of an "almost continuous sequence of mountain ranges", emphasis on the word "almost", and it seems that there are a few gaps (Panama, Nicaragua, even in Mexico) that I would think would break any parental chain. Therein lies my confusion.

976: 1544: 124:. I hope it will be considered more reliable than unreferenced or outdated claims in outdated articles by employees of the likes of NASA and USGS. In recent times I have tended towards using Knowledge (XXG), rather than my own site, as a platform for my own research, bending the OR rules too far in the process. 1784:

Since I am NOT a topographic researcher, I will not attempt to engage in an edit war, because (A) you have expertise here, and I do not; (B) it's not really such a great matter that it would not be worth either of our time to argue; and (C) I personally think the category of "parent" to be relatively

it says "Primary factor 3700 m" under the elevation. Is this a prominence? If so I would much rather use a value that is directly sourced rather than one we calculated on a talk page.

First, on the subject of edit warring, you made the original change, it was reverted by another editor, then you restored the change instead of discussing the issue on the article's talk page. Regardless of who has the expertise, you should not edit war except in the case of obvious vandalism. See

The latest IP edit, although from a different IP address, is no doubt from the same person. I have blocked both IP addresses for 48 hours, and left messages on their talk pages asking them to discuss the issue. It is possible that may get through to the editor, but it is very likely that it won't,
