Showing page titles for Wikidata coordinates on OpenStreetMap[edit]
Recently, I have begun to add the coordinates column to the list of mountains given on mountain range pages along with using {{GeoGroup}} to display a map of all the listed mountains on OpenStreetMap. Rather than copy the coordinates from each article page, I have instead used {{Wikidata}} to extract the coordinates from Wikidata. However, I ran into an issue when viewing the OpenStreetMap page. On the page's left hand side, it displays a list of links that can be clicked to highlight that particular coordinate on the map. The problem is that it would display an ordinal number as the the coordinate's title rather than the actual mountain/peak name. Unfortunately, {{Wikidata}} currently has no way to pass the title. Also, this template is actually a wrapper for Module:Wd and changes would have to be made to this LUA module. I posted the issue on Module talk:Wd but no one appears to be willing (although perhaps more likely that anyone knowledgeable to make the changes has not noticed the request) to add title support to the module. I only have beginner knowledge of LUA so am reluctant to modify the module. So, I have created Module:Titled_coords and its wrapper template {{Titled_coords}} to add the title to coordinates from Wikidata. I have so far updated Misty Range and Bow Range to use the new template. RedWolf (talk) 22:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Elevations of the Adirondack High Peaks[edit]
Seeking some advice here before I go ahead and edit ~50 articles; I am a new editor to mountain topics. I am currently improving the various articles related to the Adirondack High Peaks and don't have a satisfactory answer for handling the elevations and other geographic information on the mountains. Only one of the peaks, Marcy, has an NGS data sheet available online. I wish to avoid using peakbagger.com, due to its questionable status as a reliable source. The WikiProject guideline recommends using NAD88 elevations, but I have not found such a list in other sources. The Adirondack 46ers website lists the peaks, but provides no source. GNIS provides significantly different elevations for many of the mountains from both peakbagger.com and other lists, and I do not trust it. The most reliable source I can find is a list compiled by the Adirondack Mountain Club in the 1980s for the High peaks Trails guide book, which is regularly revised and reprinted for hikers. I own the 2023 edition; the 2004 edition can be viewed here on page 268. This list was based on photogrammetry surveys in the 1950s, which are NAD29 elevations, but the list has been reprinted in other reliable sources, such as Laura and Guy Waterman's book Forest and Crag (page 674). The club does not believe that more recent surveys of the peaks have been accurate, and I am inclined to use their list, unless there is a reason to avoid it for another.

The article Bularung Sar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Entirely sourced to unreliable sources
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 15:20, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
