Shawangunk climbing
Many many thanks for that section. I knew it was needed, but as I am not a climber I didn't know where to begin. Looking forward to seeing the red links there slowly turn blue. Daniel Case 00:04, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

disambiguation
Here's what I'd do with Hans Kraus. Just leave that page where it is, as the climber. Then, visit those pages linking to this page that really want to be about the actor. Change those links to read Hans Kraus, which will be a piped redlink. Then it'll be clear to people that they need to write the actor page. Now, how to tell people arriving at your climber page that it's the wrong one? Well, two options. One, ignore the problem. Two, put a hatnote in italics and indented at the top of the climber page saying: For the actor, see Hans Kraus (actor). (no piping here). Does this help?

Yes, done. Thanks for your help! Lhclayton 14:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Yeah, I see some goofballs have been at work. Click on the History button at the top, it gives you all the revisions. Next to each one you have "cur" and "last" buttons, the former comparing to current revision, and the latter comparing to the previous revision. Looking at "cur" from your own last edit, you can see all the changes are vandalism, so then go back to the history and click on the date link corresponding to your edit, which brings up the old revision. Ask to edit it, then save, which will bring the article back to that revision. (When you become an admin, you'll get to do all this with a single click.) BTW, you should take lots of gunks climb-in-action and subwall pics (like the ones you see in guidebooks) and upload them to commons, will make a nice little gallery - I was there many years ago, but didn't have a camera with at the time, alas. I recently got some nice shots here in Nevada, including a leader fall as it was happening, slackened rope and all... Stan 20:44, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Climber List
Picking up a couple of comments about contributing to a cleanup/revision of the climbers list. Is there a concensus about the best way to (economically) detail each climber and their details in the list? Assuming that the list is only intending to give a 'snapshot' of the person and the full detail should go in their own entries. Just by way of kicking off a discussion, does this format work for you.... <, Achievements, circumstances of death (if applicable)>> ..with 'Achievement' listed by .. <,date>> in descending height order or order of difficulty, and with '7 summits' and '14 8000ers' at the head of the list if applicable. Not to suggest that climbing is only about 'big' mountains - just that that is my area of knowledge. Let me know your thoughts (if inclined). I see it as a bit of a slow-jog effort - nothing rushed from my end anyhow. Cheers, Tban 00:22, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Reppy

 * I don't know how active you are but I've got a draft of item on Reppy on my personal page. Haven't posted as an article. Probably needs more work. Are you still interested in this subject? Calamitybrook (talk) 17:58, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
