hey was up people !!œ₠has the correct numbers, please correct whichever is wrong. Thanks.-Poli 2005 July 7 15:38 (UTC)

The information on this article seems correct according to the newer measurements using the GPS system. However, Pico do Cruzeiro, Pico do Calçado and Monte Roraima weren't measured yet. The measurement of Monte Roraima was planned to happen at 2005, and there is a conflict between Internet pages. I'm not sure if it's 2.810m or 2.875m. Fetofs 11:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

First of all, the last edit on this article was recorded as anonymous. I apologize for that; I made the edit and didn't notice that I was not logged on - usually, I am.

Now, the GPS measurement project was completed in 2005 and the results widely publicized in a large number of Brazilian Web sites and in the press. They also appear in a Portuguese-language Wikipedia article. I have corrected the altitudes where applicable, and also added the altitude in feet for those readers more used to such archaic Barbarian measures. ;-)

Other changes:

It was previously stated in the article that Pico da Neblina was shared with Venezuela. Actually, the peak is entirely within Brazilian territory, though only barely so: it lies only 687 meters (just over a third of a mile) from the border! (See [1] - in Portuguese.) That is the distance from its summit to Pico 31 de Março ("March 31^st Peak"), the country's second highest mountain and another summit of the same massif as Pico da Neblina; 31 de Março is the one that actually lies on the Venezuelan border. So, I shifted the remark one line down, attributing it to Pico 31 de Março.

Footnotes for Pico do Cruzeiro and Monte Roraima - self explanatory, I hope...

Two meaningless entries apparently due to vandalism were removed.
