New page on Nuttalls in England and Wales[edit]

There are individual Hewitt lists on but all of their data is at least 10 years old (if not 15 years), and many heights have changed since then. In addition, it is not possible to search and rank them in one main table (plus some have no prominence data). Also, they list unusual "parent" data for mountains that are already parents (e.g. in climbing terms, parents should not have parents). Britishfinance (talk) 12:34, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List revisions[edit]

The article claims that "Because of the prominence threshold of only 15 metres (49.2 ft), the list is subject to ongoing revisions" it is easy enough to verify that all UK hill lists based on criteria have seen ongoing revisions - because of the Nuttalls list. The unusual thing about the Nuttalls was that they were the first to include amateur surveying in their selection (see the books) which over the years has got more and more professional which resulted in the changes (see the reference d article). This approach was adopted by other lists and now it's standard practice. 2A00:23C5:4E9F:5D01:5065:F19E:F667:1C8D (talk) 20:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
