Summit elevation above sea level in metres: the Famous Peaks and Famous Volcanoes sets’ figure for their items, else Wikidata’s (P2044). Notable mountains and volcanoes from Wikidata: those with a prominence of 300 m or more, those 1,000 m or higher with articles in 8 or more Wikipedia editions, well-known volcanoes, and every country’s highest point (at most 400 a country), with every item of the Famous Peaks and Famous Volcanoes sets. Countries are Wikidata’s: both for a summit on a border. An item counts for every first-level unit (state, province, county) it touches: a lake or island by its outline, a river by its course, within about 1.5 km; a summit, a cape or anything without a shape by its point.
