Elevation

The rules for mountain infoboxes state that the elevation should be the maximum height of the mountain above mean sea level. The 43m currently quoted is instead the height above the surrounding plains.

This would easily be fixed if it were possible to find a definitive value for Mt Wycheproof's height above sea level. Here are some possibilities, in my (tentative) order of descending authoritativeness:

VICROADS Country Street Directory of Victoria, Edition 7, RACV Tourism & Travel, Noble Park North Victoria Australia, 2007 -- 148 metres
Department of Primary Industries, Victoria -- 143 metres
Wikipedia: Wycheproof, Victoria -- 153 metres [corrected to 148m as at 28 July 2010 (see below) --Simon the Likable (talk)]

Can anyone resolve this (or provide more/better sources)? In the absence of further input I propose to update the elevation to 148m ~~in the next day or so~~ shortly. Simon the Likable (talk) 18:36, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just make sure both numbers are in the article. \ Backslash Forwardslash / {talk} 23:22, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Have been travelling; will chase down more authoritative paper-based sources and make update on return (early Nov). Simon the Likable (talk) 15:49, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon the long delay, but here are some more sources:

St Arnaud (Map) (1st ed.). 1:250,000. Series R 502. The Royal Australian Survey Corps. 1968. -- 495 feet (~151 metres)
St Arnaud (Map) (1st ed.). 1:250,000. Series 1501. The Royal Australian Survey Corps. 1987. -- 148 metres

I'm going to take the last of these as the most authoritative (it's the most recent Army Survey map I've found, and it matches the recent VICROADS directory). --Simon the Likable (talk) 17:55, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where is there a cite...

...for the idea that this hillock is a "mountain" at all? Anmccaff (talk) 17:43, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
