Discusión:The Volcano

message: Buscando referencias sobre la altitud encontré que no correspondía la altitud del artículo inglés con la algunas referencias y con lo mapas, por lo que obtuve esta respuesta, que indico aquí por si hubiese alguna duda:
Hello,
I spent most of the morning investigating this, and fixing Wikipedia.
For some reason, the height in Wikipedia was wrong. There are detailed
height notes on bivouac.
A bivouac reader questioned the height of this volcano since it
disagreed with the height in Wikipedia. So I checked height, location
and name in various sources, then corrected the Wikipedia height from
1330m to 1656m. It appears Wikipedia had the wrong height, although
they copied the correct prominence and other info from Bivouac. Below
are detailed audit notes for the correction.
HEIGHT
The topographic map 104.B.07 shows 4 distinct contour lines above
5000', which according to the standard rule of interpolation, makes
the height 5450 feet. BC Basemap shows a spot height of 1656 meters,
which is 5433 feet, very close to 5450 feet. For some reason,
Wikipedia had a height of 1330m for the same lat-long.
                                               Feet   Meters
-------------------------------------------------------------
Height according to 1:50K map interpolation  5450     (1661)
-> Height according to BC Basemap              (5433)     1656
Old Height in Wikipedia (before correction)            1330m
I don't see any way in wikipedia to figure out who and when the wrong height was entered.
LOCATION
The location on the 1:50K map using GMap is 56:25:24,-130:51:02,
which translates into 56.4230,-130.8493. And the BC Basemap spot
height shows the same coordinates.
  1:50K         56.4230,-130.8493  56:25:24,-130:51:02
  BC Basemap                       56:25:24,-130:51:01
NAME
The official name in BC Geographic names as of 2012 is "The Volcano".
