Topographic prominence

It seems to me that several mountains in Washington (Mt. St. Helens, Three Fingers, Mt. Shuksan, Remmel Mountain, Jack Mountain, Moses Mountain, Mt. Deception) that have enough prominence to be on this list are not on it. I am not an experienced user, so don't know how to fix this, but if someone else could, it would be much appreciated :) Kbreth (talk) 22:13, 13 January 2013 (UTC) Also, seven deserving mountains in Nevada aren't included (Matterhorn, Grapevine Peak, Mount Augusta, Mount Lewis, McAfee Peak, Duffer Peak, Piper Peak)Kbreth (talk) 00:37, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Five Utah peaks (Swasey Peak, Signal Peak, Navajo Mountain, Fish Lake Hightop, Monroe Peak), two Arizona peaks (Baboquivari and Pinal Peaks) and one Oregon mountain(Strawberry Mountain) are also not included despite having the necessary prominence. Kbreth (talk) 00:47, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Elbert Colorado Prominence is approx. 5,200 ft not 9000 ft as identified

The lowest rallies on USGS map around Mt Elbert are approx 9200 ft. One would need to go to Denver (90 miles away) to gain 9000 ft of prominence. 75.33.195.138 (talk) 04:27, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Telescope peak prominence is 11,000+ feet, not 6,100 ft as stated in article

Telescope peak rises directly from Badwater Basin in Death Valley (-280 ft) to over 11,000 ft and is one of the most prominent peaks in U. S. -- 6,100 ft. is way underestimated. 75.33.195.138 (talk) 04:35, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article for Telescope Peak mentions that but Death Valley is not where its prominence starts. Multiple sites support the 6188' number:
