Talk:1939 American Karakoram expedition to K2

Article creation
In writing this I have tried to use American English (spelling, putting dates in a jumbled order and so on) but I'm very aware that it reads as if it was written by a British person with rather formal, even old-fashioned, English. I'd like to change that aspect but I really can't. If anyone could help I'd welcome it. Thincat (talk) 12:20, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Dudley Wolfe stranding.
The lead is being altered to say "the wealthy Dudley Wolfe, was left stranded alone for over two weeks at two separate high-altitude camps after the descent of everyone else to base camp." I am not going to repeat my correction to this while the article is on the front page so I shall comment here. July 22, 1939 Wolfe was left at Camp VII; by July 24 everyone else had reached Base Camp; July 29 Sherpas reach Wolfe who had all this time been at Camp VII.

I have rewritten the part of the lead concerning Wolfe's failed rescue also taking into account the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 153. Thincat (talk) 08:34, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
