Mt Rainier Elevation Survey

Interesting factoid:<p>One of the measurements in the early (or early-mid?) 1900&#x27;s came out as an even hundred, something like 14,400, but they didn&#x27;t think people would believe that was the actual measurement so they added or subtracted a few feet so it looked better.<p>Source: World Book encyclopedias printed sometime in the early 70&#x27;s

&gt; Editors of the page appear to be non-experts in the field and biased against me personally for unknown reasons.<p>They are likely non-experts in measuring mountains, but may be experts in updating wikipedia.<p>While it&#x27;s always possible they hold some unreasonable grudge, it&#x27;s also possible this new data hasn&#x27;t yet met the criteria wikipedia has.<p>This data is so new, you might just want to wait a while (especially before throwing personal accusations). Rainier will still be there.

&quot;Editors of the [Wikipedia] page appear to be non-experts in the field and biased against me personally for unknown reasons... It is unfortunate that Wikipedia cannot be trusted as a reliable source of information.&quot;<p>No, <i>you</i> cannot be trusted over the USGS (US Geological Survey). This is an important thing to understand when editing Wikipedia. It&#x27;s not enough to be an expert in the field (other editors have no idea what your experience is). Peer-reviewed, published data from an official source is always going to be more trusted than data in a blog post.
