Welcome to the Mountains of the Alps WikiProject!
We are a very small group of editors who care about the alps and the innumerable features within it, and who want to see improvements to so many articles. The mountains of the Alps really are an important and popular topic, but we recognise there is a lack of in-depth coverage on Wikipedia.
It's not just the mountains, but the glaciers, the people, the places and the wildlife. So will you join in and help us?
Feel free to edit any article without joining us, but we'd welcome your commitment to help us. So do please add your username to the 'Members' section below, and indicate any particular interest or willingness to help that you may have.
- Goals
- To improve Wikipedia's coverage of the mountains of the Alps.
- To create a high-quality article for every significant mountain in the range
- To establish guidelines for Alps-related articles.
- To encourage the creation or improvement of articles on all significant elements of the alpine environment
- Scope
- This project covers all mountains and their related features within the Alpine environment.

Articles in need of expansion or improvement
There are innumerable mountain articles that need improving - just check out the Article Overview table above! Perhaps you could find some top priority 'Stubs' you'd like to work on. Or see the following, or maybe add your suggestions for those you think most merit enhancement. And feel free to start work on one or more!
- Antelao - a relatively popular page.
- Carnic Alps
- Chamechaude - currently a short stub - could easily be enhanced by someone
- Grimming - a stunning mountain and an Ultra that deserves more than this but there isn't an article on Summitpost for me to use for a writeup. [Afternote: now recently expanded from German Wikipedia]
- Grossglockner - currently graded start class, but with a little more work could easily be given a much better quality grading
- Hochschwab (Mountain range)
- Lauzière Massif
- Marmolada - the highest summit in the Dolomites deserves being more than just a stub
- Massif des Écrins -currently just a dull list. See Mont Blanc massif for example of what this could become.
- Mont Blanc - merits bringing to GA or Featured Article quality. Current content is complex, unclear, or missing.
- Sexten Dolomites
- Tribulaun - A wonderful mountain (or arguably three mountains) sharing a tiny stub between them. Oddly there is only a page dedicated to the 2nd highest peak on Summitpost.
- Vanoise Massif

- Establish quality articles for each major sub-range in the Alps.
- Add images to every article.
- Expand the category below to include features other than mountains, perhaps through sub-categories.
- Recruit more editors!
Requested images
- Argentière Hut
- Jardin de Talèfre on the Talèfre Glacier (preferably better than this)

Template
Technically, this project functions as a task force of WikiProject Mountains. To mark articles as part of both projects, put {{WikiProject Mountains}} at the top of the talk page, with "alps=yes". This produces the banner below, and adds the talk page to Category:WikiProject Mountains articles and Category:Mountains of the Alps articles.
