I like the 'isolation" column, knowing what it means but maybe a clearer title. Perhaps "distance from parent peak" might be clearer; also of interested would be distance to the key col.Skookum1 (talk) 21:36, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In order to conform to the lede, and to clarify the title of the page for those not famliar with the concept or terminology of the prominence system, I'd think List of ultra-prominent mountain peaks in Canada would be a better title. "Ultras" isn't exactly in common English usage....Skookum1 (talk) 21:36, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And the shorter version [[List of ultra-prominent peaks in Canada should maybe also be considered; "mountain" as a modifier on "peak" seems redundant; I've used the term "peak" as synonymous with any summit of anything, e.g. hills, ridges and other non-mountain names on List of peaks on the British Columbia-Alberta border (which doesn't have a prominence column, or an isolation column, I guess, but it's not relevant to the subject of the list, which is about the continental divide/border. I see the need with "mountain passes" because of the existence of marine passes and other meanings, but with "peaks" I can see that being short for "peak flow rate" or that kind of thing, but it's pretty clear mountains/landforms are meant....I think.Skookum1 (talk) 21:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have now found three mountains listed on this page that linked to the wrong articles. Whiting Peak links to a peak in Antarctica. Mount Perseus links to a peak in South Sandwich and Whitehorn Mountain links to a clearly different peak in Alberta. I have created the pages Whiting Peak (British Columbia) and Mount Perseus (British Columbia) thus far and I have corrected the list accordingly. In all three cases, the originally linked mountains are lesser peaks in terms of elevation and prominence than the British Columbian peaks listed here. Should I continue this process and let someone else worry about if the most notable peak has the proper name?

In other words, is it correct to have an article for a mountain with an elev. of 455 m named Mount Perseus, while also having another article named Mount Perseus (British Columbia) with an elev. of 2,553 m and a prominence of 1,683 m? Also, are parentheses appropriate for the titles anyway? I've read WP:NATURAL on disambiguation policy and it doesn't really answer either of my questions for this situation. --RacerX¹¹ Talk to me^{Stalk me} 23:56, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
