Result: Kept. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:29, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are multiple uncited sentences and paragraphs throughout the article. The climate table seems to cite sources from the early 1900s. Are there any current sources that can be used? Z1720 (talk) 14:51, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re the climate data: there was a weather station on the summit until 1904 and "The twenty years worth of readings still provide the most comprehensive set of data on mountain weather in Great Britain", to quote from the article. It would be more than could be expected to have comparable modern data. PamD 18:24, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sourced the content about Oor Wullie, and expanded and sourced information about the Peace Cairn. PamD 19:23, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Could you perhaps sprinkle {{cn}} where the issues are? That would help us fix them. — hike395 (talk) 12:50, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hike395: I have added cn tags. Some of the uncited information can probably be removed or the citation moved to the end of the sentence. Other information will need research to resolve. Z1720 (talk) 13:04, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will look at it! — hike395 (talk) 13:10, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hike395 do you still intend to work on this article? No worries if not. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:16, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AirshipJungleman29 I made a bunch of improvements on 5 November, fixing all of the {{cn}} tags, and PamD did further work on 5 November and 12 November. I believe the article now fulfills the good article criteria. — hike395 (talk) 22:23, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts Z1720? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:26, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD and AirshipJungleman29: The "History" section does not have any information between 1911 and 2018. Is there any information to add there, perhaps about the growth of tourism to the site or other major events? A smaller quibble is that the lead is missing some information Z1720 (talk) 03:52, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720 This may mean that the history section may need to be updated to reflect more accurate and up-to-date information, and the missing information may need to be added. KOLANO12 3 17:05, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded the lede with a few sentences, to match the article material. I moved the paragraph about finding the piano (in 2006) to the history section. After a fair amount of investigation, I cannot find any notable/encyclopedic historical information about Ben Nevis between 1911 and 2006. The Ben Nevis Race started in 1937, but that is already (properly, IMO) in the "Outdoor recreation" section. Given that there isn't much historical material available post-1911, I still believe that this article fulfills the good article criteria. — hike395 (talk) 20:26, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720 and Kolano123: thoughts? Personally, I think there is enough detail on post-1911 events in the "Outdoor recreation" section. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'd like the lead to be expanded to include more of the "Outdoor recreation" information and "In popular culture" but I think this article is in good enough shape. Z1720 (talk) 02:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
