thread_title: earlier comments

message: Timelines are commonly written in present tense, but large chunks of this are past tense documentation. For ease of reading and standardization, I have converted all of it to past tense, IOW:  "James Smith became the first left-handed person from a landlocked Midwestern American state to summit," not "becomes."  (No, the sarcasm isn't intended to be derogatory.  I was just having fun.:))  I recommend sticking to past tense for consistency.Mzmadmike (talk) 08:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Style standardization

message: *First, generally it is suggested to link other articles only once per article or section (if the article is long). Here we link the various days/years many times. Is there any reason for that?
* Secondly, it seems to me that this list is quite a mess. For instance, I do not see why Romi Garduce should be here (beeing the third of his own country to climb Everest is not that interesting). --gala.martin  <Small>(what?)</Small> 02:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Notable climbing 

message: I created this list to make more space, so I don't like this edit warring over who should be included. Please agree or go to arbitration. In my opinion, it should include, or be linked to, everyone who has summitted Everest, but I know of no copyright free source of this information. Viewfinder 20:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not like edit wars as well. Indeed I think the discussion was going quietly enough. Unfortunately, I will not have much time to spend on wikipedia in the next month, and I prefer to use it in a more profitable way. By the way, it hurts the fact that the one who does not give his reasons will get it. --gala.martin  <Small>(what?)</Small> 15:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please stop the edit warring 

message: This would be the useful thing to know: how many people made it to the top each year? This actually came up in a quiz recently, and I'm not satisfied with the answer (given as "more than 500 each year"). It'd be nice to have "2003: xxx summits". Stevage 10:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it reasonable to assume that people from the Asian continent ascended the mountain before the first expedition recorded here? Is there any documented evidence of pre-Mallory expeditions? Black-Velvet 10:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Non-Europeans often regarded mountains such as Everest as 'sacred' and, apart from the taboo aspect, didn't see any reasons in climbing the mountains in the first place. Mountain climbing originated as a sport in the UK and Europe, and their colonial related cultures, and it was therefore often these nationalities that made many first ascents.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.254.10 (talk) 16:09, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

text: It is not reasonable to assume "that people from the Asian continent ascended the mountain before the first expedition recorded here?" The comment about mountain climbing growing as a sport in Europe is spot on. (Though what "colonial related culture" has to do with anything under discussion is a mystery to me). There is no evidence documented or otherwise that anyone tried to climb Everest before the British. --Paul (talk) 16:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I just merged the Maurice Wilson article into here, and so as to avoid deletion of information I left the second paragraph on this page. It reads like fairly wild speculation, but I dont know enough about the subject to decide. If someone who knows about it has a look, remove it if its the speculation isn't widely held? Jdcooper (talk) 19:48, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've recreated the article on Wilson with more information and better sourcing - he was a fascinating character, and there's more than enough on him for a good article. The idea that he reached the summit is very much a minority view - I'm not sure if anyone other than Noy believes it. I've given it a bit of discussion in the main article (possibly too much), but I agree it doesn't belong in the summary here. I'm removing it. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 00:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  1996 

message: I think the line On 13 May Dave Rodney became the first Canadian born in Saskatchewan to summit Mt. Everest, and also the 12th Canadian to summit Mt. Everest is a bit redundant, there has already been a "first Canadian" to reach the summit, so what the point in this? I hardly think that being from Saskatchewan merits notice in the article. Any opposition to my removal of this?  Taifarious1   06:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Timeline of regional, national, and ethnic records?? 

message: Although the 1982 British expedition to climb the unclimbed North-East ridge, with a climbing team of Chris Bonington, Peter Boardman, Joe Tasker and Dick Renshaw was ultimately unsuccessful, I think it is worth a mention if only because of the loss of Boardman and Tasker, two of the most accomplished mountaineers of their era. If you think it appropriate would you please edit the entry for 1982 to include info of this attempt.Sandyshaw100 (talk) 19:39, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  I don't see that the Tenzing Norgay article addresses the question on point, but I don't believe that any serious researcher believes that there were any such serious attempts. If you have a reliable source to the contrary, please add them, or if you don't feel comfortable doing that, please point me to them and I will.--SPhilbrickT 17:31, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Most entries, while they may be true, are devoid of any verification by an inline citation. This should be improved and any remaining unsourced entries removed as not being notable enough for the list.

thread_title:  Albanian Expedition:  Succeed 

message: I saw in this article in 'Timeline of regional, national and ethnic records' Ingrid Baeyens as the first Belgian woman who climbed Everest. (1992) That's true. But I saw nothing in this list of the first Belgian climber of Everest, the male climber Rudy Van Snick, who reached the summit on 10/05/1990. He was a member of the New Zealand International Everest Expedition in 1990 with leader Rob Hall. Also Peter Hillary (son of Edmund Hillary), Gary Ball and Mikael Reutersward were in the team.
I am a great fan of wikipedia. I just wanted to help and tell the list is not complete.
You can find information about the Belgian climber Rudy Van Snick on the internet. I have also a book of him climbing Everest. ()
I hope this was helpfull.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.83.72.131 (talk) 19:57, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
