Apennines & less than 3000

[edit]

They lack in this list. Is it correct? Otherwise should be stated in the incipit that the list deals only with three-thousanders.--Pampuco (talk) 20:11, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you ask. I started this list last spring hoping someone would be interested in expanding it further and making it more interesting, that's why there's no height cut-off. I used List of mountains of the Alps which has all the mountains above 2000 metres and can hence be copy-pasted here. According to the distribution table, Italy has 570 summits above 2000 m (only in the Alps) but only around 250 above 2800-3000 m. So if you want to expand it a little bit you're welcome to do it. I think if you just state "highest mountains" rather then "3000ers" in the incipit then you leave the possibility to other editors to further expand the list. So, the question is basically how long the list should be. ZachG (Talk) 13:12, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the list could be divided in two parts: Alps and other ridges (and among them of course the Apennines). That because Soiusa Code - which I think can be useful to geographically sort the mountains -is only relevant for the Alps.--Pampuco (talk) 21:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely, feel free to do it... ZachG (Talk) 15:36, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I added the Alpine mountains between 2500 and 2999 and I'm planning to add also 3000-3499 metres mountains. But I think to change a little the table erasing its rank column: is very long to copmlete it and, being this a sortable table, is also of no use, because one can rank the mpuntains i.e. for prominence just double-clicking on the header of the table. Wouold it be ok doing so?--Pampuco (talk) 14:00, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I felt free and I did it.--Pampuco (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
