Talk:Junko Tabei

--deprodded--

Apparently very good sources from japanese wikipedia; some may be in English--needs a check. But sources in any lang are fine, and I accept the selection given there. As for BLPiE, the accomplishment is a major one and historic in its field. DGG (talk) 07:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Junko Tabei/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 20:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

An important article and well-written too. Posting my comments soon :) Sainsf (talk · contribs) 20:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Once again, apologies for the delay. A nice, well-written article. Here are all my comments: Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 05:55, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

General

• No duplinks, dablinks, broken external links, copyvio issues
• Sourcing: Looks decent and reliable on the whole but this is the first time I'm seeing Britannica as a source. Not sure if one encyclopedia should go for another which is also publicly edited.

Encyclopedia Britannica does accept some submissions from the public, but it's maintained and edited by an editorial team, and as far as I know it's still considered an acceptable source. Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:45, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 10:25, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

• Citations: Fine overall but a few things could be improved:

• Any authors for ref 2?

Not that I found, but this was actually the one source I couldn't access to properly check out. I've replaced it with a link to a different online article from the AAJ.

• Book titles should usually be in title case

Fixed.

• "NPR.org" can simply and more readably written as "NPR". Similarly Google.com and others

Fixed.

• Accessdate for ref10?

Fixed.

• Not sure we need ISSN for a newspaper like NYT

It may not be necessary, but it doesn't do any harm -- unless you have strong feelings about it, I think I'll leave it there.

• In ref 14 "Condé Nast Traveller India" isn't part of the title

Fixed. Not sure how I missed that one. :-)

Prose and coverage

• What exactly is ref 1 the source for in the lead? Is it something not in the main text?

Removed.

• located between Nepal and China Is it necessary to say this?

Probably not -- removed.

• In 2019, a mountain range on Pluto was named Tabei Montes in her honour. It seems like a random example from among the honors listed for her.

I've only listed three honours in the article for now, and the mountain range seemed like the most significant item to me. I think she received some other medals and honours (according to her personal website), but I haven't been able to find good sources to back that up. I'll keep working on it.

• There should be no period in the Mt Nasu pic per WP:CAPFRAG

Fixed.

• Introduce Hiroko Hirakawa

Done.

• Use a convert template for 6,300 meters

Hmm... I didn't even know that template existed! Thanks for that -- I've added it now.

• Link altitude sickness

Done.

• team leader Eiko Hisano Here you can say just Hisano

Done.

• climbing the highest mountain on each continent Maybe the following list should contain Puncak Jaya for completeness instead of mentioning it in the next line.

I've edited both sentences. How does it look now? Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:45, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Lots better. Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 10:25, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

All points have been dealt with, and the article meets all GA criteria in my opinion. Promoted :) Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 10:25, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Japanese mountaineer Junko Tabei

• ... that Japanese mountaineer Junko Tabei (pictured), the first woman to summit Mount Everest, has an asteroid and a mountain range on Pluto named in her honour? Sources: "As word spread of Tabei's achievement, she gained fans across the globe. One, an astronomer, named asteroid 6897Tabei after her", [1] and she has an entry in the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature. [2]

• Reviewed: Stephen Dee Richards

Improved to Good Article status by Alanna the Brave (talk). Self-nominated at 00:24, 12 May 2020 (UTC).

• Y Article is long enough (9693 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA 9 May, nominated 12 May), and article is within policy. Article has appeared on front page before, but only recent deaths, so is still eligible for DYK (rule 1d)
• ? Honor and honour are both used in the article, this should be used consistently. Please can you adjust this- and if using honour throughout, please also adjust the hook. I think the spellings in the article are consistent with Oxford spelling, which makes me think it should be honour not honor. Also honour is used three times, honor is used once
• Y Apart from the honour/honor question above, hook is short enough, interesting and well cited
• Y QPQ done
• Y Image is freely licenced (AGF on OTRS ticket), used in article, and looks good at low resolution
• Alanna the Brave One minor point to be actioned, and then good to go. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

@Joseph2302: I've fixed the "honour" spelling inconsistency in the hook -- thanks for catching this. Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying, good to go now. Joseph2302 (talk)

• Hi, I came by to promote this. You have a good image here but a rather run of the mill hook. Everybody has a planet or a fish named after him. This is a GA; surely you have interesting things to say about what she does or her notability? Yoninah (talk) 19:21, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah: I'm not sure what type of hook you're looking for (interest is pretty subjective), but would you prefer this alternative hook below? If not, I'll have to keep thinking. Alanna the Brave (talk) 20:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• ALT1:... that Japanese mountaineer Junko Tabei (pictured), the first woman to summit Mount Everest, created her own climbing equipment from scratch out of old curtains and the cover of her car? Source: "Her pants were cut from old curtains. She padded her own sleeping bag and fashioned waterproof gloves from the cover of her car." [3]

• Much better! I wonder if Joseph2302 could review that so I could promote it. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• Sorry for the delay, ALT1 is approved. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:31, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you! Striking original hook. Yoninah (talk) 14:45, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
