Requesting input on burden of standard for overwriting or introducing "new" height of notable mountain Mount Rainier

A climber and GPS hobbyist mechanical engineer professor published his own measurements on his blog and this source was used to overwrite the accepted published height of Mount Rainier on the article. This was an ongoing for a year or two. His finding is now published in a journal article and some people have already started to overwrite the height based on this source. I would appreciate comment on how we should proceed with it.

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
