Talk:List of Marilyns in Wales

message: I've added a few notes to the table clarifying a few inconsistencies between this list and the one in the The Relative Hills of Britain book.  I'm not particularly happy with the formatting though, and I'm hoping someone might have some ideas on how to improve it.  Personally, I prefer to keep notes separate from references, but this means that only one can use the <ref>-style footnotes.  I've used the deprecated  templates for the others, but this has several problems — first, the footnotes are not automatically numbered; second, the back links don't properly work with multiple forward links; and perhaps worst, the multiple forward links prevent the wiki page from validating as HTML.  Any thoughts?  — ras52 13:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This is an old list of Marilyns on data which is out of date (some measurements have been updated, especially prominences), and whose sourcing is unclear (and thus, the data is not really useable).  A new article, List of Marilyns in the British Isles, now includes all the Welsh Marilyns (sortable vs. all the 2,011 British Isles and vs. just Welsh), and the data is sourced from an October 2018 download of the Database of British and Irish Hills (the best database for mountains in the British Isles).  The DoBIH tables also show the topo map, map section, grid ref and other classifications of each Marilyn.  The table is also linked (each Marilyn linked to their own Wikipedia article where it exists).  The new table is also in a format that it can be downloaded and updated again from the DoBIH in the future without much editing (and thus limits WP:OR issues, which are important when downloading from what is a Primary source), and thus by keeping all Marilyns in one Wikipedia article, we have a better chance of maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the Marilyn lists and data.  Note, that some Marilyn articles have "parent" peak data (which seems also unsourced), however the DoBIH will not list parent peaks outside of defining parents of "tops" (as per the new Wikipedia articles on Munro Tops, Donald Tops etc.), or other low-prominence peaks (e.g. Nuttall), and in particular, the DoBIH will not list "parents of parents", and will not list parents of Marilyns.  I think their approach is correct, as I think this issue can cause much confusion among non-technical readers.Britishfinance (talk) 13:36, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I have also ensured that every Marilyn listed here that is linked to an individual Marilyn article, is also linked in the new List of Marilyns in the British Isles article.  Because the new article is downloaded automatically from the DoBIH, I have set up REDIRECT pages to the source individual article so that future DoBIH downloads will automatically link to the individual article.  On this basis, given that the new article contains everything of this article, and more (plus its data is up to date), I am re-directing this article to the new article. The only exception are the Welsh translations of the names, but these are all on the individual Wikipedia articles of each Welsh Marilyn where they are properly sourced and referenced.
