Altitude

[edit]

@Zohrab javad: What does "at an altitude of 1,800 metres or 2,346 metres" mean? Are there two peaks and one is 1,800 and the other 2,346? Or is there one peak and two sources with different values? That has to be changed. If one source is not clearly wrong or unreliable, the text needs to say that one source says 1,800 and the other 2,346. At any rate, the infobox needs a single number with no unit to avoid showing the current error. You can reply here or ask questions at WP:Teahouse.

@Johnuniq The reason is one source says 1,800 and the other 2,346. To be honest I don’t know yet which number is more reliable to write in infobox. Zohrab javad (talk) 05:02, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If there are no reliable sources which discuss a topic, it may be that the topic is not suitable as an article because WP:N is not met. If you can read the two sources, please check exactly what they say. For example, perhaps one number is what we would call the altitude (height above sea level) while the other is the height above the base of the mountain? Where two reliable sources disagree, it is normal to give both values with wording to make it clear that such-and-such sources says 1,800 metres while so-and-so source says 2,346 metres (attributed statements). At any rate, the infobox is for simple facts, not conflicting assertions. It would be better to leave the elevation blank in the infobox. Johnuniq (talk) 05:20, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnuniq I put 2346 m by putting a source to the map. Zohrab javad (talk) 09:11, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
