How well known each peak is: the number of Wikipedia language editions with an article on it (Wikidata sitelinks). A peak known far beyond its country has articles in many languages. 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. Peaks in Antarctica are left out unless the quiz includes Antarctica.
