Welcome to the Mountains of the Alps WikiProject!
We are a very small group of editors who care about the Alps and the innumerable features within it, and who want to see improvements to so many articles. The mountains of the Alps really are an important and popular topic, but we recognise there is a lack of in-depth coverage on Wikipedia. It's not just the mountains, but the glaciers, the people, the places and the wildlife of the alps. So will you join in and help us? Feel free to edit any article without joining us, but we'd welcome your expression of support to help us. So please add your username to the 'Members' section below, and indicate any particular interests you may have.
Goals
To improve Wikipedia's coverage of the mountains of the Alps.
To create a high-quality article for every significant mountain in the range
To establish guidelines for Alps-related articles.
To encourage the creation or improvement of articles on all significant elements of the alpine environment
Scope
This project covers all mountains and their related features within the Alpine environment.
This table contains articles that have been assessed by Alps WikiProject. Articles are automatically placed in the appropriate sub-category when a rating is given.
Mountains of the Alps articles by quality and importance
As at January 2023 there were over 3,100 relevant articles in our WikiProject, virtually all of which have now received a quality assessment. Want to find something easy to work on which has the biggest impact? Articles marked as 'Stubs' or 'Start' class as well as Top or High importance are most in need of expansion and improvement. Just click a cell in the table to see a list of all articles in that quality and importance category. Look for one that takes your fancy to improve. It is often worth looking the articles in another language to find sources and information you could consider incorporating into the English language article.
The red links below are 'Notable' alps-related subjects that do not, as yet, exist on Wikipedia, but where there's merit in creating one. (Any names appearing as blue hyperlinks will have been recently made).
Feel free to add further names (plus any links to non-English Wikipedias or to published sources, if known)
There are innumerable mountain articles that need improving - just check out the Article Overview table above! Perhaps you could find some top priority 'Stubs' you'd like to work on. Or see the following, or maybe add your suggestions for those you think most merit enhancement. And feel free to start work on one or more!
Chamechaude - currently a short stub - could easily be enhanced by someone
Grimming - a stunning mountain and an Ultra that deserves more than this but there isn't an article on Summitpost for us to use for a writeup. [Afternote: now recently expanded from German Wikipedia]
Grossglockner - currently graded start class (as at 2019), but with a little more work could easily be given a much better quality grading
Tribulaun - A wonderful mountain (or arguably three mountains) sharing a tiny stub between them. Oddly there is only a page dedicated to the 2nd highest peak on Summitpost.
Snowmatze (talk·contribs) - a mountaineer interested in enhancing articles on Alpine peaks, mostly in German-speaking regions of the Alps (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol)
Editors from this WikiProject help to maintain Portal:Alps, which provides a broad 'topic-taster' of articles relating to a wide range of Alpine subjects - and not just mountains.
You can assist by helping to maintain the Portal, or by adding links to it in the 'See also' sections of relevant pages.
To do this, paste in the following code:
((portal|Alps))
You might want to add the ((clear)) template immediately after the Portal template if the page layout is disrupted.
If the article doesn't already have a 'See also' section, you can create it by inserting the following code:
