User:Rising*From*Ashes changed the infobox photo from the one on the left (from the northeast) to the one on the right (aerial from the west). While the aerial photo does show the whole mountain, I think that the clouds distract from the photograph. I prefer the older one.

Following other mountains from WikiProject Mountains, it is common to name the category on geography as 'Geography.' Here, it is named 'Geographical setting.' Might one rename it for consistency? Aonus ( talk) 09:03, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
I realize I was wrong to unilaterally change the opening sentence to exclude “also known as Tacoma or Tahoma.” I am not going to do that anymore. I am genuinely trying to reach a consensus. I live in Eatonville Washington near Mt. Rainier and nobody calls it Tahoma/Tacoma. The official name is Mt. Rainier. I was wondering if the native name could be in the info box but in the lead sentence it could just say “Mt. Rainier.” I will abide by whatever is reached through consensus. I’m just offering a suggestion. NapoleonX ( talk) 05:21, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

The prominence parent for a peak is the nearest ridgewalk-connected higher peak with greater prominence than the given peak. It will always be both higher and more prominent than the peak itself.Schazjmd (talk) 13:43, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Per MOS:LEADLANG, only one non-English name for a place can be in the lead sentence if that name is a common variant. Otherwise, other names must be elsewhere in the article. TaivoLinguist (Taivo) ( talk) 06:02, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Can I trust this article? For school research? Because no one at my school believes Wikipedia is a reliable source. Foofy Plop ( talk) 15:39, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Mount Rainier isn't called Tahoma. It's near Tahoma though. Right? Foofy Plop ( talk) 17:39, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
The infobox listed the last eruption as 1450, but the text of the article lists recorded 19th century activity. This is a contradiction in the article, and the way we normally handle it is by noting both sources since both are reliable. I've moved the 1450 date and citation to the body of the paragraph and out of the infobox so not as to overweight it. Happy to discuss, but came across this as a reader and it was fairly confusing, so I went ahead and made the change. If people think there's a better way to address it, I'm all ears. Just don't think the status quo is the right presentation. TonyBallioni ( talk) 03:51, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
