I created this page mainly by taking the bits from the relevant mountains' pages. Unfortunately none of those bits were clearly sourced. It would be great to have sources for this. As I note, there may be one or two more peaks that deserve to be on the list before Chimborazo. Also, maybe there was more contention among knowledgeable experts than this list suggests. Anyone out there have good info on this? -- Spireguy 17:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

• I just added information to Mount Everest on the observations and calculations made by the Great Trigonometric Survey which announced the height of Peak XV (which became Everest) in 1856. The height was initially calculated in 1852 but not officially announced until it had been repeatedly verified. RedWolf (talk) 18:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
