Our major aim is to improve the Mount Kenya article. This involves working on the articles that link from Mount Kenya as well. When we first found the Mount Kenya article it was still a stub.


Two people actually work under this account name, Mehmet Karatay and Gemma Richards. This happened by accident, but now we work together most of the time so it doesn't seem worth having separate accounts. To avoid confusion on discussion pages we'll write in the first person singular as the user name doesn't imply otherwise. We live in Edinburgh.

Wikipedia is a great excuse to research things that interest us to a greater depth than we would do otherwise. It is also an excellent place to practise and improving our writing.

  • Mehmet is also an active member at UKClimbing.com forums.

Picture of the day

The Mocking of Christ

The Mocking of Christ is a small 13th-century panel painting by the Italian artist Cimabue, in tempera on a poplar panel. It depicts the mocking of Jesus and is one of three panels known from Cimabue's Diptych of Devotion. It was discovered in the kitchen of an elderly woman in northern France. In October 2019 it sold at auction for €24 million, a record for an artwork predating the 16th century. It is believed to be the first work by Cimabue to have been auctioned. Following an export ban, it was acquired by the Louvre in 2023.

Painting credit: Cimabue

Future plans

A to-do list of our future plans so we can keep track of our ideas.
Other people can see our plans as well just in case anybody is interested...

Mt Kenya to do list

  • Find the author of vegzonation (Mount Kenya and Mountaineering on Mount Kenya)
  • MCK is definitive guide book to Mount Kenya--find 3rd party reference.
  • Find better way to cite PhD thesis for introduction, reference 5

So we can find them when we need to!
These will hopefully help improve the quality of our articles.
