many lists exist, many of them engineered in an attempt to include those hills the author thought too good to miss out, by using either a ridiculously small drop requirement (Nuttalls) or a complicated formula (Donalds). The most successful lists, the Munros and the Wainwrights, are precicely the ones that are partly or wholly subjective (even if the SMC insist on trying to objectivise the Munros). But as you say, we have to start somewhere, and as a target for this project – not as any kind of pr

who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at

occupies much of the view. But there are dozens of guidebooks and other sources that convey the same information: if we attribute an opinion to a source, and present any significant conflicting opinions, we should be able to avoid accusations of bias. As aesthetic appreciation of the environment is such a major part of hillwalking, it seems reasonable that a good article should give some indication as to why people climb the mountain in question.

It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. 615:, for instance. But it also affects the formatting right now. If we don't expect there ever to be an article about Gwaun Lydan, then we won't link to it in the lists we make now; a red link is always a temptation to create an article. So, it's not about taking things out, but more about directing our efforts to put things in. It's not of vital importance, but it is worth discussing. -- 173:, it would be a sure way of guaranteeing that no Irish Wikipedian ever joins the project. You're probably right that Ireland ought to be included though. "British and Irish Hills" is shorter than "Hills of the British Isles", and I don't think any Manx people are going to object if their island is included in the project scope but not (explicitly at least) in the title. -- 2141:
rather nearer) is marked "Ulpha Fell", this being the slope running down to Grassguards. Thus from what I would contend is a reliable source, Green Crag is the highpoint on a ridge between the moorlands of Birker Fell and Ulpha Fell and is subservient to neither. No contrary reference has been cited and Pyrope seems to have conceded the point above.
579:(neither of which are Nuttalls: the former failing on absolute height, the latter on relative height) both have pages, and both manage to find something to say about the fells. Indeed, Wainwright manages a whole page on each. Perhaps we should aim to find something, however trivial, to say about them all? I'm really not sure. — 460:. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects.

Wainwright's "fells" (and he calls them thus, frequently), and so deserves an article on the whole fell as defined by AW. Incidentally, the Oracle states that "Green Crag is a part of the sprawling upland expanse of Birker Fell", which seems to imply that it's a fell in its own right that forms part of a larger fell. --

to be fair. The whole thing just snowballs. (Avalanches?) Since I'm only planning to work on Wainwrights it doesn't affect me personally, but I take Stem's point that we have to know where we're going and be able to defend it. How about Wainwrights, Munros, Hewitts in Wales, Hewitts in Ireland; which is still 846.

Hopefully editors who do write lots of articles will rate other editors' articles so that there is consistency of ratings and article standards right across the project, although we will have to see what happens in reality! - 2214:
I want to put in articles covering the 7 Wainwright areas (ie Eastern, Far Eastern etc) of the Lakeland Fells.

Which on its own is frankly a bit dull. I also think its fair game to talk about the view, and say where it can be climbed from. BUT I've fought shy of providing detailed route descriptions, because my understanding is that a travel guide (or how-to manual) is one of the things that wikipedia is not.

Agreed. I was going to say just Munros and Wainwrights, which is a manageable number of well defined and described hills to do properly.

Wow, good work. This might come a bit late, but is the parentage column necessary? It makes sense for purely relative-height-based lists, but not necessarily for mixed lists.

Sounds sensible to me. I came across one of these recently, and was astonished to find a remnant of the old "Infobox british hills". None of our articles is so big that we need to split off the subsidiary tops; there's plenty of room in the article. Then again, if it gets really long, then there'll

You may be right about the parentage column being unnecessary. My rational for leaving it in was that it can provide a useful reminder as to where the hill is. For instance, Bwlch y Ddwyallt in the Brecon Beacons. Despite having been over it several times, I don't think I'd remember which top it

To answer the further point made here, Wainwright's main series is based on fells, not walks. Each chapter describes a fell and the walks available to its summit. This is not the case with his Outlying Fells (covering some of the Birker Fell area) which is indeed based on walks. Green Crag is in a

From a visual persective, "Marilyn", "Hewitt" and "Nuttall" columns are likely to take up quite a lot of horizontal space because of their column headings, perhaps to the extent of causing lines to wrap for users with narrow displays. (I've just tried the current implemention in both a 80x25 text

That seems like a reasonable rule of thumb. The trouble with defining priorities based on lists is that you run into the same problem as the lists themselves: our instinctive feelings for what hills are worth including frequently don't tally with height or prominence data. This is probably why so

Green Crag is a difficult case. In purely topographical terms it doesn't have much of an identity as a separate hill/mountain; it is, as Pyrope points out, an outcrop of rock that happens to be the highest point of a large area of moorland. However, it probably has more notability as one of

A few numbers. There are 284 Munros, 214 Wainwright, 1765 Marilyns, 525 Hewitts and 220 Corbetts. However, there is a lot of duplication here — all the Corbetts are Marilyns as are about two thirds of Munros and a number of Hewitts and Wainwrights. In total there are (I think) 2512

Just a point I'd like to make regarding the use of the term "fell". Simply because a peak is included in one of Wainwright's books does not make it a fell. Fells are large upland moor areas, sometimes encompassing a peak which is referred to by the fell name, and sometimes not.
693:, there's at least sufficient material in Wainwright's own books to form a decent article, and no doubt other Wainwright enthusiasts have written about them elsewhere. Marilyns, Corbetts and most Hewitts would also have little difficulty fitting any notability criteria. 2474:

In cases of dispute I'd favour treating the OS map as a last resort rather than a first: use it as a reliable published source like any other, assessing each on its own merits, but go with the OS form if the most common form can't be determined by other means.
