ALT1 ...that the cliffs of the Grand Veymont (pictured) are over 125 million years old?

Beautiful pic and article! Good sources. Please format the sources to appear without "bare urls". There are several possibilities, the easiest to wikilink them to the title, better to use template:cite web, even better (if you ask me) to name all references and place them in a separate section, which makes reading the actual text in edit mode much easier. (Thank you, Alarbus.) For an example see Osterbrunnen. Normally, the lead should be a summary of the article and not have references. I am not familiar with writing on mountains, will ask someone who is as well to look at this. - I am not happy with the hook, imagining that the victims of the crash could be friends. Other ideas? For formatting: small numbers in words, the title of the new article bold:

Thanks to everyone who improved the article! I suggest to use the following hook - no, I didn't know what prominence is:

ALT3... that the Grand Veymont (pictured) in France is the highest point of the Massif du Vercors and the Vercors Regional Natural Park, with a prominence of 1165 metres? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:42, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

That looks pretty good. I would like to thank everybody who has helped as well. :) Prominence means it has a 1165 metre drop on all sides - if the sea level rose until it was the high point of its own island, le Grand Veymont would be 1165 metres high.--Gilderien Talk
