[edit] Heights and referencing

I've now added references to the volcanoes here. Some heights were revised quite heavily, e.g. Arsia Mons almost doubling from 9 km to 16 km. This may be because the former height was relative to the surroundings, while the latter I used is absolute, and relative only to the martian datum ("elevation 0"). That's the only explanation I have for the large difference from my sources anyway. I tried to list only heights relative to the datum for consequence. It's unfortunate that many sites only seem to listen one of either, and it can sometimes be hard to figure out which kind of "height" they mean. If you add relative heights, I recommend that 1) all other data need to change, or 2) add to a new column or find another solution to notify the reader of this. -- Jugalator 00:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
