Our major aim is to improve the Mount Kenya article. This involves working on the articles that link from Mount Kenya as well. When we first found the Mount Kenya article it was still a stub.


Two people actually work under this account name, Mehmet Karatay and Gemma Richards. This happened by accident, but now we work together most of the time so it doesn't seem worth having separate accounts. To avoid confusion on discussion pages we'll write in the first person singular as the user name doesn't imply otherwise. We live in Edinburgh.

Wikipedia is a great excuse to research things that interest us to a greater depth than we would do otherwise. It is also an excellent place to practise and improving our writing.

Cathedral of La Laguna

The Cathedral of La Laguna is a Roman Catholic church in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, on the Spanish island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The church was designated a cathedral in 1818 and is the seat of the Diocese of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, which includes the islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The current building was constructed between 1904 and 1915 to replace an earlier building begun in 1515. The cathedral is located in the historic centre of La Laguna and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999 by UNESCO. It contains elements of several architectural styles and is noted for its Neoclassical facade, inspired by Pamplona Cathedral, as well as its dome, which stands out prominently in the city landscape. In the cathedral lie the remains of Alonso Fernández de Lugo, the conqueror of the island and founder of the La Laguna. This photograph shows one of the side chapels of the Cathedral of La Laguna, with a 6-metre-tall (20 ft) gilded reredos behind the altar. Constructed in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century, the reredos is the largest in the Canary Islands. The chapel is dedicated to the Virgin of Los Remedios, whose statue is in the central niche behind the altar. The reredos features seven paintings, attributed to Hendrick van Balen, depicting scenes from the lives of Jesus and Mary.

Future plans

[edit]

A to-do list of our future plans so we can keep track of our ideas.
Other people can see our plans as well just in case anybody is interested...

Mt Kenya to do list

[edit]
  • Find the author of vegzonation (Mount Kenya and Mountaineering on Mount Kenya)
  • MCK is definitive guide book to Mount Kenya--find 3rd party reference.
  • Find better way to cite PhD thesis for introduction, reference 5
[edit]

So we can find them when we need to!
These will hopefully help improve the quality of our articles.

Saying that, it's an ideal place to give a decent thank you to all those who put in the time. That is after all the same ideology behind Wikipedia.
