Parenthood

I wonder what might lie behind the odd appearance of Ben Nevis (highest peak in Scotland) as the parent to Snowdon (highest in Wales),which in turn then is suggested to be the parent to Scafell, highest mountain in England, as shown in the files ? A joke, misconception, or just carelessness? Flight714 (talk) 04:27, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of a parent peak is at List of highest mountains. If you think the parent peaks listed are wrong; please suggest what you think the right answer is. --Bermicourt (talk) 09:17, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How on earth Carrauntoohil can be the highest peak on the island of Ireland, and to have a parent at the same time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.111.182.53 (talk) 10:35, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't; you've just misread the entry. "HP Ireland" is not a parent peak; it means "Highest Point in Ireland". --Bermicourt (talk) 17:52, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P600

What does the classification P600 refer to? Op47 (talk) 21:21, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It means a 600 metre prominence - see the colour key at the top right. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:33, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lugnaquilla

How can Lugnaquilla be its own parent? 54.240.197.227 (talk) 16:12, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only if random editors vandalize the page. I've corrected it. --Bermicourt (talk) 20:00, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"British Isles"

The term "British Isles" is politically incorrect and offensive to Irish people. Please call them what they are - Britain and Ireland. Gunningo (talk) 03:15, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have a valid point that "British Isles" is a disputed term; however it is not Wikipedia's job to be "politically correct". "British Isles" is a widely used geographical term, and while some people will disagree, readers will encounter it in common usage, whatever their perspective. See WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NPOVTITLE to get an idea of the policy. Cnbrb (talk) 13:18, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's also not offensive to all Irish people; just as the Irish Sea is not offensive to all British people... or in fact any British people at all. Bermicourt (talk) 20:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some wrong information in the Parent peaks column

As far as i understand the following need correcting: The parent peak for Scafell Pike is Scafell Pike, not Snowdon. The parent peak for Helvellyn is Helvellyn, not Scafell Pike. The parent peak for Skiddaw is Skiddaw, not Helvellyn.
