UKC

Moderator Amnesty

New Topic
This topic has been archived, and won't accept reply postings.
I think it would be a good idea to have a Moderator Amnesty so that we can help get the UKC Logbooks into slightly better shape.

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', the name and link 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.

Alan

PS. My Crags. Before anyone posts on here, yes I am aware that I am moderator for 55 crags some of which have pending updates. I tend to make myself moderator to tidy them up when working on guidebooks but I am more than happy to let others take over so feel free to apply for any of my crags.

Crag Not Well Moderated.

Lord's Seat is a bit of a mess. http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=1557 It's a bit complicated with bouldering recorded differently in 3 different guides but I've got them all so I'm happy to try sort it out if Will is happy to hand it over?
In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Cracken Edge: Not well moderated. Details of only 3 climbs, no obvious activity. I live 800yards away so I'm the best person for this slice of heaven.

Oldpits Quarry: Not well moderated. There are two shown on the database. I volunteered to moderate one and then realised some other guy is moderating the other, but not well. There are more than 7 routes at the crag and this has been known since 2010 so I'll do this one too if that's OK.
In reply to Dave Musgrove:

Thanks Dave, now switched.

NOTE - I haven't time to contact moderators so if I look at crags and judge them to be a bit neglected and we have a willing volunteer then I will just do the switch. Sorry if this seems a bit impolite.

Ravens rock http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=11329 and Ravens Rock quarry http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=11330, both near Strathpeffer. My contribution in the past two years has been to find my way to one of these (I think...) and be wholly unimpressed. It seems that nobody has climbed there since the first ascents (wisely) though the reported grade IV line might be interesting if it comes into condition, which it won't.

If anyone does want to moderate these, good luck.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Hi Alan,
I seem to be the only person to ever climb to the crags I moderate (obscure southern alps valley). I add the crags, I log the climb and then noone ever climbs them- with one notable exception by a strong team from Holland who have also been very active in Annot. At the time they emailed me the new route, but also emailed the local guidebook person.

If you're happy with that level of activity then it's all good. I often wonder if it is not just using space on your website for no gain?

I also wondered whether I should put it all under One valley: although it would mean hundreds of climbs (a bit like Ben nevis).
 jon 14 Dec 2013
In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Perhaps a little nudge then. There's something like a couple of hundred routes that need inserting into the already prepared buttresses and thirty something routes all called 'unknown' - which isn't a lot of use when we have no idea where they are.

I prefer areas being done like this. We will eventually have locations on Buttresses so it doesn't matter that the pins can be in the wrong place on large crags. Bigger crags are easier to manage in the long run. You will need help to combine them though since that isn't something a normal moderator ca do.

In reply to Alan James:

Alan

With all due respect to the current Dentelles moderator, the current logbooks for that area are in a fairly dire state - actually rather worse than Jon implies. Crags are duplicated, with the majority of routes listed in a single "Dentelles" crag, but (some) individual crags then listed separately as well.

In my opinion, it would be far better to have a separate Logbooks entry for each Dantelles crag - they are distinct venues afterall - and then remove the 'global' list.

If Jon was offering to sort this all out in his original post - and please correct me if I've got that wrong Jon! - then that is a huge task which would be extremely useful, and - being done by a local - I'm sure it would be much more accurate and comprehensive than could ever be achieved 'remotely'.

If I were you (or the current Moderator), I would bite Jon's hand off....

As I mentioned above, we prefer to work with bigger crags if possible so I'll not split this up now since it appears to be well moderated. There may be a case for it but a well moderated big crag with buttress dividers is better than a lot of smaller crags.

> This is an empty dupe of the above:



Done
In reply to mark20:

> I could do Curbar

Ok, I have added you. I need to have a look at that one actually since I have been doing a lot of boulder problem rationalisation at other crags to try and get standard names. But see what you can sort since it would be helpful to have some of the bouldering sorted there.

Alan
In reply to The Reaper:

> I'll take Froggatt

And you now have Froggatt. Ditto regarding the boulder problem name rationalisation.
In reply to Neil Foster:

These crags probably need more major surgery which only one of us Rockfax team can do, and in this case that usually means me. I did dump all the RF France guide routes into the database matching names to try and remove duplicates. This is so that people using the Rockfax guides can type the routes in to tick them and they should appear. The problem is that the listings aren't in any order now, which is quite a mess for the big crags.

We did sort most of this out for the Costa Blanca crags which are all now pretty tidy. It is a big job though and one best performed when we are producing a book.

 Chris the Tall 14 Dec 2013
In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

I've been delaying further work on Stanage and Burbage until the next software update, which I thought was imminent.

In particular the request I'd desperately like to see implemented is the ability for a moderator to get an a full data extract, in something like a CSV file. Either the full crag, or just the updates.

The big problem is the quality of the updates. The only way to tell if there is any detail attached is to look in the record, and I'm afraid I find the web interface clunky. If I can extract it to a file, I can print it off and then use that list when I'm flicking through a guidebook ( or in the case of Stanage, multiple guides)

On other crags, the guide doesn't have an index, so it 's a lot easier to deal with updates if I can see at a glance what additional info (if any) has been supplied

I think i only volunteered to take Oldpits Quarry on so that i could approve the few existing routes that had been added and so i could add a few more that were on the "over the moors" tick list i created and I sorted the crag out at the same time. So whilst i didn't add the other 7 routes listed in your guide book to say it was not well moderated is untrue. Still happy for you to take it on given you know more about it than I ever will.

Red Rocks is a mess.

Ideally it needs consolidating into 13 crags to match the sections in the Handren guidebook. I believe Pythonist was intending to do something along these lines, and I passed moderation of a few crags over to him several years ago for that reason, but he seems to have lost interest.

Happy to do it, or let somebody else do it, but my OCD is very unhappy with it staying as it is...
 Laramadness 15 Dec 2013
In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Bit of a complicated one - I have taken myself off Galetas near the Verdon, but still moderator for Le Galetas, in the past both had been added as crags separately and I clicked to moderate Galetas before realising Le Galetas was also on there with more of the routes (and people's ticks) entered. There is one multi-pitch route in the Galetas entry which seems popular but is not at the single crag known as Le Galetas, it may be on the buttresses above the town of Moustiers but I don't know for sure!
 Laramadness 15 Dec 2013

Regarding Glen Nevis... all the crags at Polldubh have been grouped together in one entry in the logbook. I think this works well.

To tidy up further and make more user friendly I reckon that the crags:
Gorge Crag, Gorge Wall and River Walls should be grouped under the name Steall Gorge Crags.
Wave Buttress, Space Face, Blade Buttress, Galaxy Buttress and Meadow Walls should be grouped under the name Steall Meadows Crags.

I'd happily moderate them in this format.

Most of the other outlying areas at the Buttermilks (of which Dale's Camp is one of several) are included in the main Buttermilks section but Dale's Camp has a crag entry all of its own.

Chris is doing fantastic job with Stanage, one of the best moderators that UKC is lucky to have. Chris is also working with us on improving the moderator system and, if he had all his wishes, then we would be much further forward since it is just the UKC development resources that are holding things back.

The reason there are unverified updates at Stanage is not because Chris is ignoring them, but because he is dealing with the whole crag and has numerous problems created by people uploading simple duplicates, and the multiple boulder problem names (a problem made worse by the Vertebrate and BMC guides choosing different names for problems when they really didn't need to).

So thanks for this, but Stanage is in very good hands and we don't want a change of moderator - please Chris!

Although we usually prefer to go the other way, I can see the sense for splitting these areas back up into separate areas since they do have different approaches and character. Let me know where the splits are and I can sort.

Tip for anyone wanting to sort a crag which is a complete mess.

Go to browser preferences and turn off 'Javascript'. Then reload the page and you will get the ordering number boxes instead of the drag and drop re-ordering. This makes major moves a bit easier.

Hi Alan,

I still haven't sorted out the RF-imports for Claret, Hortus and Russan (and Thaurac). I know you answered this before, but could you just clarify : When a RF-import is a duplicate of an existing route, which should I delete - the old or new RF route.

Eg:
http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=182651 'Imbroglio' existing 7c
http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=282484 'Imboglio' RF 7c with obvious typo in the name.

Neither have logged ascents.

I intend to delete one of these, and rename the remaining route 'Imbroglio (Imboglio)' or similar so that RF users find the route in the drop-down list.

But should I delete 182651 or 282484? If the newer route ID 282484 is linked to the RF database then I should delete the old one - but I thought that you previously suggested deleting the newer route?

Thanks for the confirmation, Richard, and good luck with the de-merge work which will be really useful.

When you have finished that phase, I still suggest Jon would be a good person to approach for some feedback on Grades, missing routes etc, even if he doesn't want to formally take over the moderation.

It isn't hugely important which you delete since we can link them up again, however deleting the older non-RF-linked route would make things easier. These ones usually have more data associated with them though so sometimes it is a shame. The Logbook ticks are, of course, transferred.

So where you have a choice, leave the newer version, unless it has a lot of data. Make the name agree with RF even if it has a typo since then the matching will be automatic.

Haven’t been able to get there for a few years and it is now a bit more complicated as the upper tier seems to be much better bolted than it was, leading to people adding existing routes as sports grades rather than the old trad grades. I haven’t been able to confirm these one way or the other.

We will be switching everything to Rockfax grades when we do the full sync between the RF database and the Logbook database. We will also be bolting the grades down when we do this and moderators won't be able to change them after that.

In case you didn't see it, I did explain higher up the thread as to why I haven't done anything on Stanage and Burbage for a time

Actually your's are a great example:

I get an email saying there has been an update the request, but the email doesn't tell me the data, so its several clicks before I get to the update and another couple to look at the original record. Now yours is not an update I can immediately dismiss (some people think First Ascent is the date they first climbed it!), but it's not one I can immediately accept either.

I need to go and look up those routes in the BMC guide and if that's different to Rockfax I'll put in text that effect (you'll notice that Needle Crack is N route in the BMC guides - more fun). If the guides agree then I'll now update it, but remember for the first 6 or so years of this system updating a grade meant loss of voting data. That was certainly the case when you made your requests.

Basically these are popular crags, popular both with experienced climbers and newcomer, both to climbing and the logbook system. I still get a number of utterly stupid additions (why do people think a 3 star severe at Stanage Popular would be missing - you'd think they'd check they've got the name/crag right before adding it). A quick scan down the pending list tells me that there are a lot of updates to the wrong crag, which is a pain because there is no easy to transfer them (and I've submitted that as an NFR on countless occasions). But I suspect most of them are boulder problems (name like "5+","6b+") which may or may not already exist, but will be time-consuming with the current system to resolve.

As a software developer I prefer to help improve a system rather than moan about it. It has been a bit frustrating of late that my new feature requests haven't been implemented, but I understand the reason for this. The sheer volume of entries for Stanage and Burbage, and the multiple guidebooks, makes these crags harder to moderate than any other. Too much for one person - probably. But I'd like to hand them over in a clean state.

Yikes.

How do grades get changed then?

Certainly for LR, the ukc grades are more accurate than the rf grades. Isn't part of the point of having Moderators who know crags well to correct RF misprints/guesses and to update the database with the "latest" grades after hold breakage, rockfall and fixed gear modifications???

I'm sure there will be loads of complaints, threats of moderator resignations, etc when this happens
The current guidelines say to use the latest definitive guide, which seems right to me. What's the reasoning for the change? Chris freely admits that he doesn't check every route, I'm sure he's not the only one. So incorrect RF grades will get perpetuated, even if a later definitive guide team checks the route and changes the grade.


 Offwidth 16 Dec 2013
In reply to TimB:

Agreed . The other issue is that it makes the logbooks less independant. If Rockfax won't put the latest grade information in then its time we all pushed for a new database elsewhere. I have no problem with Rockfax grades when the majority agree with them (rather than the definitive) but Rockfax grades like any guidebook grades can sometimes be plain wrong or even a typo. I hope Alan can think again about this.

> Certainly for LR, the ukc grades are more accurate than the rf grades. Isn't part of the point of having Moderators who know crags well to correct RF misprints/guesses and to update the database with the "latest" grades after hold breakage, rockfall and fixed gear modifications???

I am not saying that we won't change the grades before we bolt them down, it is just that once we have the App functioning, we can't have grades changing willy-nilly since the App will uses data from the UKC Logbook Database as well and the routes need to be perfectly synced for it to work.

What we will do after that is periodic updates at crag level where we will take grade voting into account and change them in the App version (and our master version for future guidebooks), however this can only be done at a higher level of moderation using master documents which aren't accessible to moderators.

Poor show and wildly arrogant. Who knows the grade of a route better? A local moderator who's bi-partisan, when considering guidebook grades from Rockfax, BMC, CC, Ground Up, whoever. Who's climbed a given route 10 times, knows ten other people who've climbed the same route ten times and seen ten total strangers climb the route too?

Or the Rockfax author, who's maybe climbed the route a handful of times if you're lucky?

The new Peak Bouldering guide should hopefully go a long way to sorting out boulder problem names and grades. We will be using system which takes account of both V and font grades and delivers both in the interface, with UK tech grades for the easier problems. How this eventually pans out with existing problems remains to be seen.

Don't worry on the names - I hope to have that sorted once and for all (wishful thinking maybe). Yes, we are mostly going with BMC names except for the occasions where the BMC appears to have gone off on its own, but this is isolated, mostly hard problems.

If anyone wants to take them on… I took them in the summer as nobody was moderating either and there were ascents on there from that guy who got banned a while back for making up really hard ascents in remote locations, which I've deleted.
There is no current comprehensive guidebook, which is my main problem with getting them sorted properly - keep meaning to trawl through the old SMC guide and the SMC journals since then, make a list, and head out there to check… Haven't made it yet though and probably won't now until the winter storms abate! Would require bigger cojones than I have to go anywhere near the cliffs at the Butt just now… If anyone has a clearer idea of the state of play up there and wants to take these on, then please feel free, I mainly want to get them sorted as I think I have spied a nice new line but not sure if it really is new or not!

The Crag database dates from before the Logbook system. When we first created it there were no routes listed, just the basic crag data. One of these fields in this data was climbs' which means the number of routes at the crag. It is just a number that crag moderators can edit it.

We have left it in place and may use it for something more intelligent sometime - like an auto counter of the number of routes there are listed in the logbook system for example.

Which lists all the different icefalls as simply one route.

So some sort of work needs to be done. Either add all icefalls as "buttresses" on the Korouoma -page and then have the individual (normal lines) as climbs there. Or go with the Area KOROUOMA and all individual icefalls are separate crags.

I can volenteer to sort these out.

Minor niggle about Harmer's Wood. I posted a description and photo of a missing problem (doubtless not new). First it was added to the database in the wrong quarry, then moved, then deleted and replaced by something likely covering same problem but with no description or location. Confused. Reluctant to moan at voluntary effort (just been shifting a ton of correspondence over a race I help with as it goes) but what's there now is less useful

Crag Requested:

Hi Alan, my name is Antonio I´m from Madrid and I would like, if possible, to give a hand to clean a bit the Pedriza Crag Map:

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=2661

And I think this one should be deleted:

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=12122


I´ve been climbing in Pedriza for a while and I think that this crag map needs much more information to be added and corrected in it.

The problem with Pedriza is that is quite big, and the crags inside this National Park are quite far away from each other; ones can be reached in less than 30 mins walking from the car park and others would require more than 2 hours of steep walking, so I think it haves to be done a cleaning and organization of the climbs in order to make it a bit more easy to understand and use the information provided by this UKC map, so maybe more people can have an idea of how big this granite slab paradise is, and will encourage them to come to visit it, without getting lost in the process.

I think I know Pedriza well enough to be able to moderate this crag, also I know a lot of people who have been climbing there for years so I´ll be able to get well contrasted information about this park.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards.

Antonio.

That is a bit of nightmare actually. If someone with knowledge can group them into buttresses, or unique UKC crags, then I can move them. As they stand it would be hours of work for me to split them all. I have changed the crag listing to try and stop it growing.

That is surprising. Whenever we delete a crag it won't allow us to delete it without assigning a new crag to move the ticks to.

Are you 100% sure that these logbook ticks have been deleted?

 Mr. Lee 30 Jan 2014
In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:
Yes definitely. L'Abri Cotier was a separate crag until last time I looked, which was well moderated and perfectly adequate. Now it is part of this crag, which is more of a collection of crags:

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=20023

A lot of the routes probably had double figures for in the logbook as the crag is fairly popular. Some of the routes are also on this crag page so guessing it is related (logbook ticks also missing from these climbs):

Improvement request:

When a climb is deleted, and you are taken to the move ticks page, the drop down list of climbs is not sorted alphabetically. It would be a great help if they were, especially for big crags like the Squamish Chief.

I can do that one quickly. There is a little option next to the menu which sorts it by 'Name' if you select that box.

How about keeping it in crag order but make it look for the same name and have it auto-select that.

In reply to Jonny2vests:

Hi Jon,

That change is uploaded. If there are 2 climbs of the same name and you delete one that has ticks then it will auto-select the one for the ticks to be moved to. They have to be exactly the same name.

You can change the order of the list using the radio button to the right of the select list: Sort climbs - Left to Right or by Name
In reply to dannyboy83:

Hi Dan

Done those except the Finale ones. I would prefer Finale listed under one crag in the end and I suspect that is a better solution than trying to find the correct crag for each separate photo. We do have other single dump crags for photos but they tend to start picking up duplicate routes over time. If you give me a geographical list of the Finale Crags, I can move them buttress by buttress and then they should be in order.

I have made you moderator of the Calanques Orphan crag.

Thanks for this.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

The finale crags by the very logical order within the latest guide are as follows:

- Caprazoppa
- Rocce dell'ora
- Paretina di Finalborgo
- Rocca di Perti
- Placca delle casa valle
- Antonio
- Bric Scimarco
- Monte Sordo
- Paretina di pian marino
- Bric del frate
- Valle Aquila
- Bric Pianarella
- Bric Spaventaggi
- Monte Cucco
- Rian Cornei
- Val di Nava
- Bastionata di Boragni
- Rocca degli Uccelli
- La Crema
- Rocca di Corno
- Le Manie
- Capo Noli

If you put them all in http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=9701, I can do the rest. I think thats well over 2000 routes so will surely make finale one of the largest crags on the database!

Is there a logical split?

ie. We have split Stanage into three sections to make it a little more manageable. There seem to be two distinct valleys plus a few crags nearer the town. Perhaps three areas?

Tricky one! There are 22 crags at the moment (definitely too many) for Finale, which in the guidebook have been divided into 12 main areas. If the crags around the town are grouped together, that gives 10 areas, the largest having around 700 routes. This would be my preference since it is quite a large area, but obviously open to your thoughts.

If the ten areas correspond to the local guidebook then we could do it that way. It works for the Calanques.

I assume all ten areas have different approach parking spots? There is some logic in having crags grouped by single parking spots in large complex areas (I am aware that this logic can't be applied everywhere).

Let me know the best combinations.

I have done that as per all the instructions, except that it is a bit of a faff to move those 500 routes individually, and much easier to move the other routes after 'Do Not Move These Yet' to either a holding crag or a new crag for them. Then I can just deleted the crag and bulk move the 500 in one. Do you want to create a crag for the 'Do Not Move these yet' routes?

Crag info hasn't been updated since 2010 and two routes have been waiting to be checked by the moderator since June 2013. Many of the route grades are inaccurate and the whole crag could now do with updating.

With your agreement, I'm willing to take over as moderator. Thanks.

I was moderator myself for a number of crags usually during the period that we produce a guidebook. After that I am happy to pass them on so I have stopped being moderator for all the crags below.

I see you switched this yourselves.

For other's info: if you are in negotiation with a moderator you can pass the crag between yourselves by the current moderator removing themselves using the link on the crag page, and then the new moderator applying for the crag.

Is there any chance of having a bulk or batch add feature for adding new climbs? The guidebooks for quite a few of the sports climbing crags I'm moderating (and have yet to add climbs to UKC database) don't have much in the way of additional info, only the route name, grade, height and possibly a notes column, displayed in tables, so copying that info onto a single uploading page would be far quicker than entering each climb individually. (A similar system to being able to tick and add multiple climbs to your logbook, from the same crag, in one go)

Unfortunately no there isn't. I am also very keen not to get into a five star system if possible.

If you are doing a bulk upload, could you do a global change before uploading of 4/5 stars to 3 stars, 2/3 stars to 2 stars, and 1 star to 1 star?

Hold on a second, the lower reaches of the sport grades just got changed to 5a,5b,5c...and then 5b again (I guess you have to correct that?!) from the old 5/5+. Did I miss something? A good step, but to be complete you might need 5b+ and even 5a+ as well. 5b+ is fairly common in the Plaisir guides.

We will do an auto grade change later today or tomorrow. At the moment all grade 5 routes have been given 5a and all 5+ routes have been given 5c. Paul is going to do something clever with the voting later on and shovel a bunch of routes into the 5b bracket based on grade voting. This also applies to grade 4 and 4+ routes.

No need to worry about Rockfax guide routes, we will take care of them and gradually shift our system over the the extra subdivision. For other areas you will just have to make a best guess. I think there are more areas now that use a full a, b, c system so it is better to have it working that way than the other way round.

We won't be using a + system on the lower grades though even though some guidebooks do.

Alan
 Simon Caldwell 28 Jul 2014
In reply to Stuart S:

In the last 5 years or so it's become more common to use not just 5a/b/c, but also the equivalent + grades. It may just be coincidence but all the destinations I've been to in recent years have the + grades.
 Stuart S 28 Jul 2014
In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Fair enough - it'll make moderating a wee bit more awkward for me since the SMC Scottish Sport Climbs guide has stuck with 5/5+ and 4/4+, and this change will introduce extra grades, but sounds like the SMC approach is in the minority.

Remember that there are also routes currently graded 3 and 3+ which presumably will need changed to 3a/b/c (one my my crags currently has routes now graded 5c, 5a, 4c, 4a, 3+ and 3).

We aren't planning on sub-dividing the 3/3+ grade at present (if ever).

Well we aren't going to go into this level of subdivision. It will be impossible for us to accommodate all grading systems so people will just have to approximate when it comes down to that level.

There are some areas which use the grad 7a/b although I have never worked out if that is harder or easier than 7a+. I even saw a 7a/b+ in one guidebook.

Alan
 jon 28 Jul 2014
In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:
I've always taken it to mean that some people have found it to be 7a and some 7b - rather than 7a+. Routes that are height dependant, for instance, often seem to fall into this category. And then of course there are the folk that DO use 7a/b as 7a+ which totally confuses things...

Yes, you can do this. First you contact us to get the crags merged, then you can delete the duplicates one by one and choose a route to merge it to. That moves the logbook ticks and comments. We are just at this moment using your crag to test moving the votes across as well which previously got deleted from the deleted route.

Bristly Ridge appears as a scramble and as a winter climb, hence twice.

That route is a new route no? Surely the point of crag moderation is to check against a guide book to make sure it's valid, is that route in a guide book yet? Look at all the hard work the previous moderator likely did hand entering routes and butresses.

Good point. Is that happening though, can you provide an example? I must confess I'm a bit too lazy to trawl through this entire thread. Not sure how that sits with any potential future moderating I might be getting into though.

Actually in this case most of the routes were added by us when we set up the database. That isn't to belittle the effort though, and we have no objection swapping crags between people since that is sometimes less effort for everyone than someone feeding all their updates to a crag moderator separately.

In reply to CurlyStevo:

> I don't think many people would have even started moderating crags if UKC had told them after you spend hours entering the routes we may give it to someone else that lives nearer!

That doesn't happen generally.

Our policy before we switch moderators is to check the crag for pending updates. If this is a long time (say a year or more) then we are perfectly happy to switch the crag. If the original moderator wants it back after that then they are welcome to get in touch.

For situations where there has been some recent moderation taking place then we look at the crag and make an assessment. Sometimes a crag will have only handful of routes added. The current moderator may be processing updates but not adding routes. If there is someone offering to do that then it makes sense to pass the moderation over to them.

One thing we don't do as a matter of course is to always contact moderators. We used to do this but so many emails remained unreplied to and then the crag changes then never took place since a week later we had forgotten which crag it was. You either need to act at once or it doesn't happen.

 CurlyStevo 02 Sep 2014
In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:
As mentioned in this case the only unmoderared route is one that's not in the guide book yet isn't it? So how did you expect the old moderator to check it? Surely if a crag is up to date as the latest definitive guides it's irrelevant how long it's not been moderated for no?
Post edited at 17:40
In reply to CurlyStevo:

I don't think is such a big issue. The new moderator had tried to get in touch, Paul acknowledged that it was reasonably well moderated, the old moderator (as far as I am aware) hasn't so far said anything. If they want it back then they are welcome to get in touch.

A much bigger problem for us is the huge number of crags that have been claimed and then neglected.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Having climbed there at the weekend I notice that the climbs at Retribution Wall (Rhosilli, Gower) are duplicated as an individual crag and as a separate buttress under Trial Wall - the Trial Wall listing is more complete, with both trad and sport lines included.
Probably the ticks need merging and duplication removed, the two versions of the crag do have separate moderators which might complicate things.

I have sorted that. However it looks like there are quite a few other smaller buttresses there. It needs rationalising by someone who knows the area a bit better.

Doesn't this crag cover the whole area - http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=729

In reply to Fiend:

There we go. Best leave as a single crag entry.

There are two routes at the end which aren't in my (old) guidebook so I can't sort those. If someone can tell me where they are then that would be helpful.

It needs a new moderator though since there were updates pending from ages ago.

I've taken over a couple of area's in Font that were going spare, just to tidy them up and add in the missing problems from guidebooks etc. however, not sure what to do with new climbs that are awaiting verification, as I'm in no position to confirm them. Do you just confirm them, or leave them then hand the moderation over to someone else later who can confirm?

Also, is there an example somewhere of an upload spreadsheet, or the ability to download a crag then add in the missing problems and upload back? no idea whats needed in terms of the format of the spreadsheet for uploading

I agree that there is a forth state of route here that we need to take account of.

We currently have:

- Waiting for confirmation
- Confirmed
- Can't be confirmed (which is where the person who uploaded it hasn't supplied enough information)

We need something between 'waiting' and 'confirmed' for routes which we know the location of, but we aren't sure whether they actually are worthy new routes, minor eliminates, or non-entities that don't really need recording.

I will talk to Paul about this.

You can download a .xls file or text file from there and add the routes to that. Upload the file and then use the Moderation ordering functions to move them to the correct place.

In reply to Alan James - Rockfax:

Hi Alan - seem to back in control of things now. Would be happy to tidy up the Dentelles crags. As it happens I am actually in Vaison-les-Romaines for a few days.

So if it is OK with you could we rename the following crags
"Saint Christophe - Dentelles de Montmiral" ---> "Saint Christophe (Dentelles de Montmiral)"
"Rocher du Grand Travers" ---> "Rocher du Grand Travers (Dentelles de Montmiral)"
"Tyrolienne" ---> "Tyrolienne (Dentelles de Montmiral)"
"Rocher du Cayron" ---> "Rocher du Cayron (Dentelles de Montmiral)"
"Chaine de Gigondas" ---> "Chaine de Gigondas (Dentelles de Montmiral)"
so that all six crags have consistent names.

My understanding is that if climbs are moved from the old Dentelles crag then if the names are exactly the same the log book entries are all consolidated and where the names do not match I can merge the records under the correct name and peoples log entries will all be preserved.

I am using the Rockfax guide and the latest local topo guide.

Richard

I made this point a while ago but it never got sorted - if you vote on a grade, then the problem is changed by a moderator from a font grade to V grade, it looses all it's votes, but you can't vote again because you have already voted.
