Sorting 500m from 400m topsContext of comment:Distinguishing 500m tops from 400m tops on the Map of local Summits.
Message:Simon, would it be possible at some future date to be able to set the Map of Local Summits to only display tops over a particular height, much in the way the 'Seven Lists' map works? By the way, the site continues to be an absolutely invaluable resource for walkers.simon3

Re Cupidstown HillContext of comment:Suggestion we include Cupidstown Hill, a county top not currently included in MV lists.
Message:The people in the MV community who do lists agree and have already decided to put the few county tops not currently covered into MV.
May take a while because there's a various other changes going in at the same time some of which require research.paulocon

Cupidstown HillContext of comment:County High Points
Message:Hi, Might be an idea to add Cupidstown Hill in Kildare given that it's the County High Point and I know a lot of people tackle the highest points in each county.
Additional points:I have it marked on Google maps if it's any use..swimini

HELP!Context of comment:Information please, on one of your photos in the recent newsletter!
Message:Could somebody (maybe whoever posted it) identify the place in the photograph that appears in the latest newsletter , in the WIA box feature. It's the wide river valley with small walking figures dressed in red. It looks like Iveragh, Kerry, but I can't be sure... Wherever it is, it looks absolutely magnificent.simon3

Order of bibliographyContext of comment:I see that most of the entries in the bibliography are entered with the author's forename first. Would it not be better to have surname first, as in most on-line bibliographies and library systems? It makes it much easier to find books, as very often people will only have the author's surname or surname plus an initial.
Message:Change the order of the entries, e.g. Joss Lynam --> Lynam, Joss.
Additional points:I'd be willing to do this for each entry if you think it is worthwhile.simon3

Re: Improved, extended summit list to 150mContext of comment:Thanks for your comment.
Message:The trouble with any list is where to draw the line. The prominence based list for summits under 400m we have is supposed to include summits of at least 150m prominence. If you think that some of the places you have mentioned do have that prominence, please tell us. We use the definition of prominence in Wikipedia. You need to find the height above the col leading to the next highest mountain.
Additional points:If you or someone else produces an accurate list of say 120m prominence summits, we would publish that also. I hope you do put some in contributions for summits we do have such as Tully or Errisbeg.fkaatje

Re: Improved, extended summit list to 150mContext of comment:Missing summits in extended summit list
Message:Great, having all these lower summits in Mountain Views now. I moved to Ireland only recently and most of the summits I climbed till now are under 450m. Must say that some like Errisbeg and Tully Mountain are very rewarding and offer breathtaking views. I was checking on The Burren summits listed in Mountain Views and found out that some important ones are missing. What about Carnsefin (IM 166 105), Gleninagh (IM 179 095) and Cappanawalla (IM 197 087)? To me they seem a lot more prominent than nearby Abby Hill?
Additional points:If you add the summits I will add comments and routes.simon3

Improved, extended summit list to 150mContext of comment:MountainViews is pleased to announce the release of a list of 150m summits in Ireland.
The list revises and improves the existing list of 400m+ summits and adds 208 summits under 400m with at least 150m of prominence. (Prominence is a measure of how much the summit sticks out above the surrounding ground.) Because of the prominence requirement the extra hills should all be interesting places to visit though not necessarily hard to climb. Since many are low there may well be access or other restrictions for some. Fourteen of the summits are on islands not connected to the land by bridges or regular ferries.
Other improvements include minor fixes to positions or heights, improvements to names and changes to the area names. The listing defines the possibility for each summit to have an area and now a sub area. For example summits in the "Achill/Corraun" area can be further subdivided into the "Achill" and "Corraun" areas.
The improved list can be viewed using the listing program in More | Resources (http://www.mountainviews.ie/mv/irl150setup.htm). In future this list will be incorporated into MountainViews main program following the necessary changes.
Message:I would like to thank the various people involved in working on this major extension including John Desmond, Brendan O'Reilly, Paul Tempan and Denise Jacques.
Additional points:If you believe that any changes are required to the list please let me know.simon3

Re Uploading RouteContext of comment:Adding Walks (aka Routes)
Message:Sorry to hear you had difficulties uploading your excellent route in the Nephin Begs. I'm not sure why it appeared to be classified as being in the Wicklow area. That's now fixed. The way it is intended to work is that the initial information put in, that is the first page of the route, must give correct details. The system for uploading has quite an ambitious scheme for checking later input data for consistency. The intention is to prevent misleading information being presented to users but it may have unexpected side-effects or appear to be tedious.
There is a gradually growing interest in the walk system and, in time, we will improve the entry interface.
As for deletions, this can be done by any of the "moderators".
Additional points:Thanks as always for any offers of help with testing and for reporting difficulties. Although resources to investigate and correct issues are thin, eventually we will get around to them and such reports are useful.
