AfC notification: Draft:Chris Jones has a new comment

[edit]
I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Chris Jones. Thanks! -- NotCharizard 🗨 11:06, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi NotCharizard,
Thanks so much for reviewing the article. I understand the concern about an inadequate number of secondary sources. In my opinion, the articles created for the American Alpine Journal should somewhat be able to count even if they were authored by the subject of the article. The AAJ has pretty specific expectations for submitted climbs and the format has always been in first-person reports.
From the AAC website:
"The AAJ publishes first-person reports about big new routes, first free ascents, and significant attempts and mountain exploration anywhere in the world. Most routes are at least five or six pitches long, but we make some exceptions.
There are two ways to report new climbs:
Send your new route reports with this Submission Form.
Send reports and photos to AAJ or to these editors:
Alaska: Andy Anderson
All Lower 48 states (Washington, Colorado, Montana, etc.): Michael Levy
Canada, Mexico, Middle East, Africa, New Zealand: Whitney Clark
South America (except Bolivia): Erik Rieger
Himalaya, Karakoram, China, Bolivia, Greenland, Europe, Antarctica: Lindsay Griffin
Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan: Dougald MacDonald"
Within the submission form, they state:
"What We Publish
Since 1929 the AAJ has been the world’s “journal of record” for documenting significant new climbs. We seek reports on big new routes anywhere in the world—usually at least five pitches long. If the route or developments in an area are especially significant, we will document shorter climbs. We may report a repeat ascent if the peak or route has not been climbed in many years; if there have been major changes in conditions on the mountain or crag; if the style is new (example: first free ascent); if the ascent was exceptionally fast; if it was the first winter ascent; or if the report supplies vital information for future climbers.
We do not publish reports on first "national" ascents (for example, the first American or Italian ascent)."
HOWEVER, I think there have been some other articles published in magazines. Some of them might be difficult to pull up because the magazines went under before they had an internet presence. I'll do my best to fill them in.
Also, I agree that the Supertopo forum is not a strong source - I just think it's an interesting bit of climbing history as written by the community itself. It certainly doesn't count as a secondary source either. It might not be appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Anyway, I'll continue to work on the article and I really appreciate your review.
Best,

1974 International Climbing Disaster

[edit]

Hi there Mellowish126,

I moved the page to draft space, I guessed based on the note on top and the AFC draft template that you intended to create it in draft space instead of main. The page seems decently ready for mainspace though, inline citations would be appreciated but other than that it seems all good. If you want a review please let me know :D (please Reply to icon mention me on reply) Justiyaya 03:54, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Justiyaya Thank you so much. I was mortified when it went into articles for creation. I hadn't done any of the citations I intended to do. I'll reach back out to you when I think it is worthy of review. The topic is certainly worthwhile but it's complicated so the article needs more work. Mellowish126 (talk) 13:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome! although the mistake wasn't submitting it through articles for creation (AFC), you put it into article space instead instead of draft space (essentally skipping AFC and publishing directly). I would've honestly marked it as reviewed it if there wasn't the note at the very top, the article was good enough. AFC is still a good process to through for your first few articles (~5) but is a bit slow because of the backlog. The article is looking good, remember that you can publish without finishing and work on it afterwards! Justiyaya 14:55, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Justiyaya Gotcha. I didn't have permission previously to simply publish an article. Thank you for clarifying! Mellowish126 (talk) 22:31, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
