UKC

The last Moderator Amnesty thread almost lasted a full year and was extremely useful in sorting out many problems in the UKC Logbooks but it got a bit large and unwieldy so I have now closed it. Here it is for reference - http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=572431

The purpose of this new thread is for people to post moderating requests, problem crags and suggestions. If you do post about a crag then please use the Logbooks 'Insert crag link...' box above the reply box so that a link is included which makes things lot easier to sort than if just a crag name is written.

Existing Moderators
If you moderate a crag but find yourself ignoring the update emails, or you have lost interest, then please could you remove yourself as moderator using the button at the base of the crag moderation page. Then reply to this thread with 'Crag Available', and the crag link inserted so that someone else can volunteer.

New Moderators
If you would like to moderate a crag, and feel you could do a better job than the current moderator, then reply to this thread with 'Crag Requested', the crag name and link so that we can arrange a switch if appropriate.

Thanks for everyone's help with UKC Logbook moderating. We are aware that this is sometimes a tiresome task and all your efforts are appreciated.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

This 'crag' has the potential to get really unwieldy because it basically covers a whole valley / guidebook.

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=2948

Plus a lot of the the 'buttresses' already exist as crags elsewhere as the area also has numerous rock routes. I'd suggest breaking this crag up now whilst there are not too many routes entered and moving t the more local crags. These two Løefjell routes for example:¨

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=249527
http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=249528

...would be better off here I think:

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=2959

I can sort the rest out if this arrangement is ok.

All but the last one of those appears to be pretty well moderated. I have transferred the last one.

Cheers

Alan

In reply to Mr. Lee:

We don't mind big crags, and we do now have a system to give buttresses GPS locations, however I can see that these crags are pretty well spread out so it probably does make sense here.

I have moved those two on Loefjell. I think the others need new crags creating first.

Alan

In reply to peteJ23:


Wow, that was an example of pretty terrible crag moderation. Claimed when we set the system up in 2007 and not touched since!

Now transferred.

Alan I only picked up Garheugh as I went bouldering there and had a look at its listing .. i dont really live close I am just going to sort it out and let it go again..

Having just updated a few Gritstone crags for the new guide I don't fancy any more

thanx anyway

I appreciate the effort. It was the previous moderator who had claimed it and then ignored it for 7 years.

Once you have tidied it up a bit just ditch it using the 'remove me as moderator' button.

In reply to ctodd:




That'd be the new Yorks Grit guide that came out 2 weeks ago right?! I humbly apologise for my slackness in this pressing matter.

P.S. Quite a few of the climbs on the Scafell East Buttress need upgrading in line with the current guide

Come on Richard, it's been a year (to the day) now...

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Australia

I'm not sure I would like to take over moderating the crag permanently as I am sure the existing moderator is more familiar with the area than I am. However, I have supplied full details of new routes we did last year (on newly developed levels that need new sectors) including topos and location info. The info was provided in August and 5 months or so later they are still listed at the end as "Still unsorted new routes" despite reminders. I would like to create the new Buttress/sector information and give access notes in a sensible location as well as putting the routes in order. There are also some issues of route order for existing routes that conflict with the route order in the guidebook. For example Cartoon Lesbian Cartoon Lesbian (6a+) appears too late on the list in the Railtrack area (did that from the description in the guide and it seemed to fit OK), I sent in this info but it has not been acted on. I was generally confused about route ID in this area though and although I suspect other errors I don't have any more info on where the routes really go.

In reply to jon:

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Thanks Alan,

I updated my other crag and everything went fine. However when I went to add another guide book for Coumshingaun I was again given the message that you will not accept submissions from my machine which was recently used to send spam.

A bug perhaps?

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

This crag http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=2164 (Dinder Wood) is listed right to left!

In reply to RoK:



Not a bug, but possibly a temporary problem with your IP address. If you try again it may well work.

Alan

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

I'd like to sort this crag out.

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=2592

A Rockfax miniguide covers this area as well as a Norwegian guide to Telemark. There's also an online guide. All use the Nordic grading system but the above crag has a combination of Nordic, UK and French grades. I think it would be better to just align everything to the Nordic grades, given it's Norway, and this is what all the guidebooks are using.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Hi Alan,

It's unlikely but not impossible as I am on a mobile internet dongle, I can't get a cable or dsl line into the house. As such I end up with a different IP every time I connect to the net. That said it depends at what level you are blocking on.
I will try from a different network later today though and feedback.

Bear in mind I can update crags, just not add a book.

Regards,
Ronan.

In reply to RoK:

Ok, looks like I can do stuff from another network fine, it must be the home network that is flagged.
You can disregard.
Thanks once more.
Ronan.

In reply to RoK:

Ok. They can be a bit random these things. They are usually triggered by the spam blacklists we subscribe to hence we have no control over them. Sometimes 'bad' IP addresses get assigned to good locations innocently which can trigger this alert. They disappear within few days though.

Alan

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Hi Alan, I'm moderator for this 'crag' http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=11358 but there isn't currently the regional option of Magallanes y la Antártica, which is the correct name for the region, nor simply Patagonia. Could you add one of those options for me please? Cheers.

In reply to Tom Last:


Hi Tom

Currently that crag is in:

Chile > Puerto Montt > Cochamo > Torres del Paine

The Puerto Montt is a 'Region' from when we first set the system up but currently these regions aren't actually displayed anywhere.

This is described a bit better in Q9 here - http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/help2.html

If you could give me the full Country > Region > Area > Crag path that you would expect for this, then I can try and set it up. The 'Regions' we have at the moment for Chile are - Puna De Atacama, Santiago, Araucania, Puerto Montt, Pucon. The areas we have are displayed when you Update the crag entry.

Alan

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:
Thanks Alan.

I think you might as well leave the crag as Torres del Paine. It's a massive area, but since so little gets done there, it's not really worth splitting it up. I can separate areas within Torres del Paine with the 'add buttress' field and specify the peak within each route, for example Central Power of Paine - Bonington Whillans, etc.

To fit in with UKC conventions, I think the correct path should be.

Chile > Chilean Patagonia > Magallanes y la Antártica > Torres del Paine

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Tom

In reply to Mr. Lee:



Bridget has agreed to pass this on for some grade rationalisation. She did say that at least on of the local guidebooks was using German grades as well, so it is all a little confusing.

Alan

In reply to Tom Last:

Sorted. I also moved the map pin but probably not to the right place.

Alan

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Thanks for that. The name has somehow changed to "H¾gefjell"? Could you change back to "Hægefjell"?

Great, thanks for your help Alan.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:
Hi Alan,

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=2064

There are some trad climbs on some of the far flung crags of Clapis. With this type of route there's a problem in that by defining it as trad (or non equipped) you're locked into a British trad grade and can't give it its French grade. Is it possible to have the option of having a trad route with a French grade? Obviously it'd need a note in the description.

In reply to jon:


That's already possible isn't it? The dropdown list includes UK trad grades then various others (French, USA, etc).

In reply to Simon Caldwell:

Ah, so it does. Thanks very much.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

AustraliaNo match for climb id:171751
The entry for the above route seems very strange. The description just says "The right hand side of the slab past 3 bolts (top out BB)." which is hardly sufficient to identify it. There is no such route in the guidebook and there is no other indication of where it is: it is posted under unsorted new routes so no indication even about the sector location. Nevertheless 13 people have managed to identify, climb and log it (an unnamed route at an unspecified location). 5 have even added detailed comments. How have they done this? It seems likely to be a mistaken transfer from another smaller slate area for which "the right hand side of the slab" was good enough ID?

In reply to harold walmsley:

I'd guess that BB = Brucie Bonus and the moderator has just accidentally put the "new routes" section one position too low.

In reply to Simon Caldwell:

No, that isn't it. BB means bolt belay.

Also, because I did the 1st ascent of all the existing routes in the Cape York Slab area, I know for sure that there are no sport routes R of Brucie Bonus, only the trad pitch of Cape York Slab (I was up there again recently so know that nothing has been added). Furthermore many of the logged ascents of As Yet Unnamed precede all routes in the Cape York Slab Area. I suspect it should be at the R end of the Slab Rog slab because a couple of the logged ascents are by people climbing there but am intrigued how they knew which route to log their ascents as.

In reply to Alan James:
Hi, for some reason there are some duplicate climbs that have appeared from Rockfax and I can't delete either of them! These are:

Ok, so I can add climbs ok, but when I try add a buttress/divider I get a page loading that has no text input field.

Lots of long term "awaiting moderation" climbs here?

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

This one:
http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=20629
is currently unmoderated but is essentially the same crag (or group of crags/buttresses) as http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=489 which is moderated.
One of the two climbs listed is duplicated on both pages.

The unmodd'd crag could be added to the moderated one, but could probably then do with separating out into buttresses to match the guidebooks.
I'd be happy to do this if the current moderator doesn't want to.

In reply to jon:

Sorry for the long time in replying to these.

It looks like you have discovered that you can give Trad routes a sport grade since the routes seem correct now.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

I posted this as a separate thread a month or two back, but got no response. Apologies if this is a touch off-topic from moderation!

I often make an entry to the activity diary. If I come back to my entry and go to edit it, the text appears greyed out and will disappear on clicking the text box - never to reappear. Thus entires can be entirely deleted.

Another minor thing is it would be great if it recognised paragraph breaks - I write quite a bit sometimes so the text appears as one massive block - I go in to 'edit' so I can read it: that the paragraph spacing comes back.

Thanks.

In reply to kwoods:
Hi Kevin, apologies for missing your report before.

We are working on the line break thing. It was a security measure to block any html code being injected into these public forms, but it is a bit draconian I agree.

For the other problem, can you submit a fault report here please - http://www.ukclimbing.com/general/email.html

This is a great help for us since it automatically grabs your operating system and other details that are useful for us to track down problems.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Not strictly a moderator issue but it doesn't seem worth opening a new topic. There seems to be a presentational bug in the logbook grades of certain routes.

On the Rheinstor crag page, Loki (HVS 5a) is listed as HVS 5a. When you go to the route page, it is listed as HVS 5a but once you add it to your logbook, it shows in there as VS 4c and when you search for a climb, it shows as VS.

From the route comments, it looks like it was upgraded at some point with VS 4c being the old grade and HVS 5a being the new grade.

In reply to SDM:
This is a temporary bug which is going to take us a while to solve.

Routes which appear on the Rockfax database, and also on UKC Logbook, have had their Rockfax grade copied over to the main UKC logbook listing since this is the grade we will be fixing these routes at. Since it is such a complex system ,this has thrown up some bugs which we are working our way through.

We hope to solve this in the next month or so.

Alan

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Quite a few bits and pieces:

if I try to add a new route to North Cape Area using the add missing climb form, the link does not return me to the public crag page in the logbook but tries to take me to the moderator's page for the crag instead.

- Grades are still jumping all over the place, eg Lysistrati (7a+) change between 7a and 7a+ depending on whether it's in my own, or the public logbooks.

- The crag Arginonta is misspelt as Arginonta in the logbooks.

- In the show full form page when adding multiple routes to my logbook, not all of the style options are present in the drop down menu.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

I went to Blackstone Edge Blackstone Edge recently. Only a small fraction of the 200+ boulder problems in the new Lancs Bouldering Guide are listed in the UKC entry and there are no sectors/buttresses, which would be helpful on such a long crag. I would be happy to enter the problem names from the Lancs Bouldering Guide but I am not sure if I could create buttresses without being a moderator. Also I am reluctant to add the problem names without further advice because it is clear that some problems are already described with different names than those in the Lancs Bouldering Guide. I am not sure I can recognise all of these potential duplicates, particularly where there are names like "Wall" with no sector/location information (but a link that doesn't work for me) and a fairly random ordering of the entries. Even if I could recognise all the duplicates I don't know how best to handle the possible re-naming.

I would be happy to add the problem details from the Lancs guide but would need guidance on handling the duplicate names and dealing with old names that I can't link with guidebook names. I would also be happy to add buttresses and assign problems to them (by temporarily moderating if necessary/possible).

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Why switch at all if the current moderator is active? I'd be highly miffed if you did that to me!

In reply to Simon Caldwell:

They are active-ish. Both cases have updates pending for more than 6 months however the updates may be just a single route change.

It is such a big hassle to try and communicate and 'arrange' change overs, or even temporary change overs, whereas switching moderators is really easy and quick and tends also to get loads more info inputted since the new moderator is keen. However, if someone is offended when they lose a crag then we are very approachable and perfectly happy to switch it back. We have done a lot of temporary tidy-up switch overs in the past.

Also, there is 'active' - confirming updates and that's it, and there is 'active' - adding routes, buttress dividers and generally improving the info. Those who request to take over are generally in the latter category.

I think it is best for this quarry to be entered as a separate crag to Craig y Cigfran as the approaches are different and the main areas are almost a kilometer apart. Two of the routes that are in reality located in Penmaen West Quarry are also entered under Craig y Cigfran. I think it would be best to consolidate these into Penmaen West (Llanfairfechan) Quarry (can't just delete them as there are logbook entries). The affected routes are: (A Tetris Temperament (7b) and At the Heart of it All (added this later, no visible option to add a link when editing the post).

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Just found there are two entries for Presles - one in the Vercor (sic) and one listed under Isere (presumably both geographically correct). One moderated, one un-moderated, at least one route in common. Be worth consolidating these I'd say.
Cheers.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

You can delete this unmoderated duplicate crag with no logbook ticks. I would say:
No match for crag id:12446

Since the crag is existing here (although the above name is the correct one).
No match for crag id:4077

Aloso. merging with this nearby crag (where I just took the moderation) under the name "Gramusset" would fit the treatment in the Swiss Plaisir guidebooks. Up to you!

Hi James

Not sure what happened there. You were moderator for 24 days in July last year but for some reason it was set to no moderator on 25 July and then Terrorwheel became moderator on 29 July. He has done nothing as you note hence I have now removed him.

You can now moderate the crag. Apologies for the messing about.

Am I alone in wondering what this 'Moderator "Amnesty"' is all about? What on earth does it amount to, this mysterious 'pardon'? It seems a very strong word. I've long had a suspicion that it's a malapropism for something much gentler ... amendment, or emendation, or even amity, perhaps ??? As it stands, the concept sounds very odd indeed.

In reply to Gordon Stainforth:


Maybe the word Amnesty is not quite right any more, but I think it is pretty clear to most what this thread is intended to do and it has been doing it very effectively for the last 1.5 years.

Initially it was because the first thread was aimed at people who had claimed crags but then not done anything with them - there were a lot of these and still are quite a few. Now it is just a recognisable thread title.

Alan

In reply to Nik Jennings:



Now transferred - Summit Quarry

In relation to Gordon's comment, that is an example of a crag that was claimed by a moderator in 2007 and which hasn't been touched since. The amnesty idea was for that person to ditch their moderation although I agree that the correct use of the word implies some sort of punishment being ignored which is obviously nonsense.

Many route descriptions missing and others lack detail.

Would love to be able to sort this crag out as it is well used but people struggle to find routes using ukc

In reply to lewisrichardson:
Your expectation of what a moderator should do is very high, nay unrealistic. From the mods help page
"This may involve things like uploading missing routes, checking existing data for mistakes, putting the routes in crag order and dealing with email requests from other users about that particular crag"
Please note the "may".
I dont see data input as part of the mods job, they are there to QC the input.
As for the link-ups you have entered, do you expect the mod to have visited the crag, climbed the link-ups and approved them for you, all in a month? The mod probably has a life outside of UKC and Torbryan.

In reply to scott titt:


That's semantics; the 'may' clearly only means that you might not have to do those things because you may not need to (e.g. if nobody emails you, you don't have to respond!), not because you can just not bother.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Severe apologies if this has been covered above, but a large number of routes have been added to Buoux from the Rockfax lists, many of which are duplicates (e.g. TCF, Azincourt) probably due to spelling and foreign character discrepancies. I can't seem to delete these duplicates and move any ticks to existing routes. There are too many to 'Report' each one...
Advice welcome!

In reply to Jon Read:



Hi Jon

Don't think it has been covered before. In this case you should delete the original entry, not the newer Rockfax one, and you will be given the option to move the ticks across. This will probably make the route order a bit wonky which can be a bit of a faff to sort.

Alternatively, you can leave this crag for the time being since we are just in the process of preparing the Haute Provence data for the Rockfax App which involves sorting out all the crags so that they have a good single match.

Cheers

Alan

In reply to Jon Read:

Agincourt (8c)

not many ticks on that last one mind.

In reply to Jon Read:

There is some technical problem there which we are looking into. Those routes are both matched to the same RF route and this shouldn't be possible.

Alan

In reply to Jon Read:

All sorted - most of the duplicates should be combined - there were 11 that had got messed up. If you find any more then grab the UKC description on your clip board (if there is one), delete the UKC version, and move the ticks to the Rockfax version, then paste the description into the RF version.

I have tried to do some route order sorting as well and got through about half of them.

If you do sort them into any order, then it is a huge help for us if you stick with the Rockfax guidebook order and Buttress names.

In reply to TonyM:


What about mixed and ice routes on the Aiguilles though? Anybody with just the Snow, Rock and Mixed guide isn't going to understand that routes for these peaks need to be added to the Envers des Aiguilles logbook when peaks towards Aiguille du Midi are listed separately (Aiguille du Plan, etc). I think there will continually be new mountain entries added by accident for this reason unless there is a consistant way to list the peaks along the entire chain to Aiguille du Midi.

Edit:

Also, I haven't climbed here specifically or used the guidebook, but does the Envers des Aiguilles guide not just cover the Vallée Blanche and Mer de Glace aspects? My French is rubbish but does the name not mean the 'back' of the Aiguilles? There presumably needs to be somewhere to log routes for the other aspects so deleting the mountain entries seems a little short-sighted. I would personally have thought listing the mountains on separate pages would make adding routes a more obvious affair. It would also stay consistant with how nearly every other peak in Mont Blanc region is listed and allow 'summit' entries to be added for the separate peaks for anybody wishing to do so. If nothing else the Envers des Aiguilles name needs to be changed to imply all aspects are included and the description updated to imply inclusion of mixed routes.

In reply to Mr. Lee:

Hi Lee
My pitch wasn't to cover the entire Chamonix Aiguilles under one crag entry, but to tidy it up.
The peaks with routes on the N side of the Aiguilles are left well alone - e.g. Peigne, Pelerins, Blatiere, Grand Charmoz. That is where almost all the mixed and ice routes are.

There are currently about 20 UKC crag entries in and around the Chamonix Aiguilles. My proposal was to clean up 7 of these.
There is only one single route in those seven crag entries that I identify that is not accessed from the Envers side. (That route is the Traverse of the Grepon.) All the other routes are wholly covered and often duplicated within the existing Envers entry.

There is no perfect solution here. Modern alpine guidebooks tend to adopt a watershed-based approach to categorising routes, rather than a peak based approach. (You can see from the old Alpine Club guides that the latter approach is confusing!)

Happy to change the name of the Envers UKC Crag entry to make it a bit clearer what it covers. But hopefully anyone looking on the UKC map of crags would see that a lot of stuff is covered by the entry becasue it has a large-size marker.

Tony

In reply to TonyM:
Can you not use the Envers guidebook as defining the area, basically Requin > Montenvers, with buttress dividers. I did this with the Aigs Rouges - lumped everything together - and it worked to an extent but was admittedly a bit clumsy, but I think now Alan has better plans for buttress dividers (I think?), it could work well. Beyond the Requin up to the Aig du Midi (there are lots of rock routes too on the various rognons) could be Vallée Blanche, for instance. Forgive me if that's what you are doing at the moment or if I've misunderstood...

In reply:

Yep, Jon. I'd basically have covered anything in the Envers guidebook within that single UKC crag entry for Envers.

The existing Dent du Requin entry ought to be subsumed too. Dent du Requin. Not sure why I didn't originally include it. Either my oversight, or it might have existed as en entry before I signed up to moderate the Envers crag entry. So I would add that to the other seven crag entries that I think the Envers ought to subsume.

Alan, if you could make those changes (and existing mods don't mind) then to reflect Lee's point about clarity, suggest you rename the overall crag entry to

"Envers des Aiguilles: Requin > Grepon > Montenvers"

That should give enough coverage of the normal search terms that users currently missing the landing page might try.

Tony

Not strictly related but doesn't seem worth opening a new thread.

When uploading an xls file of missing climbs for French crags, all characters with accents (éêèáàçô etc) get replaced with a question mark. Is there any way around this to avoid having to go back and change each climb name individually?

In reply to SDM:

It's been a longstanding issue with Nordic characters as well. I often needed to use ö, ä and occasionally å in Finland, and the Norwegian crags need ø and æ occasionally, but it at least used to not work in the logbooks.

In reply to TobyA and SDM:
I've asked Paul about accented letters that come up as a square symbol or a code like this - 'La Grev£Directe' - and he says it's an IE thing. Could be the same?

In reply to jon:

I don't think it is a browser issue but I could be wrong. I am uploading the climbs from an Excel file (where they display correctly) so I don't think the browser I am using should be relevant. Once uploaded, the accented characters just show up as a normal '?'.

If I then edit the climbs individually through my browser (Firefox) and add the accented characters back in, they then display correctly.

Haven't use IE for a decade or something so doubt its that.

I believe these issues are being solved on Monday when we release the new Logbook version.

Alan

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Great, I'll test it out when I get a chance.

In reply to SDM:


Here's another example - both on the same page: http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=626474 On my screen, Cú Chullain's user name appears fine in the blue band but appears as C£ Chullain: in 'in reply to'.

Some tidying up to do in Switzerland:

This unmoderated crag
No match for crag id:22396
can be deleted, with this climb in it
No match for climb id:377296
moved to this crag
Täschhorn

In reply to rlrs:

sorted!

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:
Alan, now the new definitive Gogarth South guide is out I have a load of updates to do over the coming weeks. Can you transfer Trinity House Walls over to me please and put all the routes into Gogarth South Stack, that seems a logical place for them.
Also can you move Penlas Rock over to Gogarth South Stack, I already moderate this but don't know how to move a whole crag over.
There are hundreds of routes to update on the Range, I don't moderate that crag, I'm happy to take it on if the current moderator doesn't want to update it.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

No match for crag id:2454 has no climbs in the logbook (although the info says 16) and is part of Lands End, so the former should be deleted,

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

I can't work out how to access the guidebook database now, can anyone help?

In reply to Martin Haworth:

Hi Martin,

Generally we'd prefer to keep crags that have their own entry in the BMC RAD database such as Penlas Rock as separate crag entries. The crags get live Access Issue updates from the BMC now and so it'd be a shame to not show any updates relevant to the crag. It looks like a pretty small crag though so maybe Alan will just merge it.

Cheers, Paul.

In reply to rlrs:

This one? http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/books.html

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Yes that one, but I don't see anyway to get to it from the Logbook menu?!

In reply to rlrs:
To see the guidebooks for a crag, click "guidebooks" at the top of the page. To add a new guidebook, click "update this crag" and scroll down.
(You can do this from the public crag page or the moderators page.)

In reply to Mark Kemball:

Thanks Mark...I don't want to add a new guidebook, but from there one can see all the guidebooks, which is what I do want.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Some tidying of duplicate crags in the Jura required:

Please delete this newly added crag...
No match for crag id:22095

...and move the only climb in it to the existing crag which I moderate:
Les Sommêtres

Have informed the moderator of the first one I will request this.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:
More tidying up of duplicate crags, delete this one in Valais East:
No match for crag id:22116

Keep this one in Valais West:
La Luette

In reply to rlrs:

Sorted

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

No match for crag id:15593 should be merged with Bärenschlucht

and Bärenschlucht could then be renamed to "Bärenschlucht" to be properly correct, but that's not too big a deal!

In reply to joepremier:

Done

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Duplicate crags again, this one:

No match for crag id:22112

should be merged into this one:

Huhnerchnubel

I guess the "ü" tends to catch people out, also the search function doesn't (always?) pick it up.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Happy to moderate this as know the whereabouts of the routes in red.
Krokan

In reply to Mr. Lee:



Added you as second moderator.

Alan

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Thanks. Just found a minor bug with doing this:

I added some basic details about the crag but it didn't update automatically. Instead they're showing as 'Updates waiting to be verified for this crag' on the climb moderation page. When I click on these links to approve my own updates I get the message 'No such crag update in database'.

In reply to Mr. Lee:
Hi Lee, I've fixed that and also enabled changing the Access Issue state if you're a moderator too. This is only for non-BMC RAD linked crags - their Access State is set by that.
http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/addcrag.html?id=1943

I changed the state of Krokan to Advice due to your comment about the Ice.
Krokan

Cheers, Paul.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Great. Another problem I've just found is that I can't add a buttress/divider. I get a message saying 'Error: You aren't listed as the moderator for this crag. '

In reply to Mr. Lee:

Doh, that's sorted too.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Crag Requested, Woolley Edge Quarry Woolley Edge Quarry

In reply to johnwright:

You're a moderator for that crag now.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Not Requesting a crag, or really complaining here, the current moderator seems to be doing a good job. But just wondered if the new routes on Coastguard South in the Aerials section could be changed to Sport grades. Currently they look like Sport grades, are bolted Sports climbs, but come up as Trad routes in my logbook/graphs.
Not a big issue, but would be good to clear up - would also have the side effect of correcting both my hardest Trad and Sport onsights.

In reply to The Ivanator:

Sorted those, cheers.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Nice one, Merry Christmas!

It looks to me like Lurcher's Crag in the Cairngorms needs a new moderator (I'm not volunteering, just making a suggestion):
No match for crag id:2605

In reply to KA:

I've opened it up to anyone who wants to volunteer.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Can you set me to moderator for Rumney and Pawtuckaway please? I've got routes to add, there's some sorting out required, and it's 2 months since I emailed the crag moderator:
Rumney
Pawtuckaway

Thanks,
Jon

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Is it possible to ask if there are any volunteers to sort out the Vercors. There are huge swathes that are not even covered. I am afraid that I am too out of date and technically incompetent to do so. But it is a great area of fantastic climbing. Perhaps Jon knows someone who could help?

In reply to jcw: as a ps, I would add that I'd be delighted to help in translation if that would help.

In reply to Jonny M:

That's done Jonny

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Please can you rename this crag I moderate:

Dents de Morcles

to "Dents de Morcles" (following the Remy brothers guidebook treatment).

In reply to rlrs:

Done

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

West Vale (Greetland Quarry) is looking a little bit unloved. I'd be happy to knock it into shape.

In reply to db79:


Now transferred. It had 'Updates pending since 2007'.

Thanks

Alan

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:
Hello Alan, could you put this buttress http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/modbuttress.php?id=13468 and all the routes in it into Nuova Ossessione#maps

In reply to scott titt:

I've moved those.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Crag requested

Millstone quarry

Mow Cop

The current crag monitor hasnt updated for many months now

In reply to RobBrooks:

You've got it. Thanks for the help with the database.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Hi Alan, please can I have St. Sunday Crag
I've climbed many of the routes on the crag and have a pretty good idea where everything fits together - I could sort all the routes that need updating/approving etc

In reply to LakesWinter:

You've got it.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Thanks

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Hi Alan,
Too many Foel Gochs (Foelgochiau?)
Foel Goch 831m (Glyderau) and No match for crag id:14951 are the same hill, and the routes on the latter are also in the database under No match for crag id:3459 (name of the crag rather than the hill).
No match for climb id:384990 is No match for climb id:59194
No match for climb id:392621 is No match for climb id:59193
Also the pic on Foel Goch 611m (near Bala) (the one near Bala) is of Foel Goch 831m (Glyderau), as are the 5 pics under Foel Goch 605m (near Llanberis), which is the one NW of Snowdon according to its map location.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Could you please move the tick for this route No match for climb id:389164 to No match for climb id:151475and delete from
The ticks for Procedura d'Urgenza (6a) also need migrating to No match for climb id:151475 Cattedrale Nel Deserto Cattedrale Nel Deserto need merging and moving to San Vito lo Capo from Trapani
Thanks
Scott
