Talk:Scottish Mountaineering Club

Heading and Organization
This page needs the addition of some verifiable information. After much research, I suggest that the History section be expanded to include the past history of the club with citations and that the following Headings be added for clarification: Members, Journal, Hill Lists (or Compleators), Trust (Subheadings: Scottish Mountaineering Press and Huts), and Archives. These changes, along with supported documentation, will organize the information. PenniALiner (talk) 16:12, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Verifiability
The initial membership of a hundred was very much a cross section of the 'great and the good' of Scottish society, many of whom had an interest in mountains and mountaineering, without necessarily actually being mountaineers.

This statement lacks any citations, and the information I found contradicts it. Any suggestions? I think I will take this out for now, but if anyone finds the citation, please correct me! PenniALiner (talk) 16:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Women
Women were not allowed in the SMC until the 1990s. Should this information be included under history or membership? PenniALiner (talk) 18:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Publishing
Through the Trust and its imprint, Scottish Mountaineering Press, the Club produces and publishes the definitive Climbers' Guides to Scotland's mountains and outcrops (17 books), the authoritative guides for hill-walkers and scramblers in Scotland (12 books) and a further 12 books on the Scottish mountain environment, its history and its culture, plus an annual Journal, copies of which are free to download from the Club's website. The Munros Guide is the bestseller.

This section needs revision. It reads like an advertisement and doesn't cite any sources. However, it could be important to the topic to list publications. The Press has also won several awards. PenniALiner (talk) 03:24, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
