Comment
The height should really be metric. Charles Matthews 15:35, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
A picture would be really nice too.
I think the FA details are probably muddled up - according to the Hamish MacInnes guidebook, the 1966 ascent was by Baillie, Patey and Bonington - I think this was televised?; in 1967 Brown and MacNaught-Davis FA'd the South Face Route and Crew and Haston FA'd the SE Arete - both on TV I think.

death and injury of many climbers is this right? I don't doubt that it's dangerous but have many people really been killed climbing it?--JBellis 12:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Where has the information on an imminent collapse been sourced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.41.221.139 (talk) 21:59, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Shouldnt the country it is located in be listed in the introduction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.215.92 (talk) 07:53, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Map
As this is a geographical feature, I thought it may need a map. So I have pulled together this one, but rather than add it directly to the article, thought it would be courteous (it being a new GA etc) to see what people think. Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:26, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- That's very helpful - although we could also use Template:Infobox Scottish island, which allows for an automatic map placement - see e.g. Eday. Ben MacDui 18:06, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- I think a map would be useful, and less cluttered than a full infobox. Jamesx12345 18:33, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- I must admit I didn't think of an infobox, the map can be moved around within the article - giving a bit more flexibility on location. Jokulhlaup (talk) 18:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- The infobox is reasonably flexible. Its standard practice to include a map and sometimes an image but you can put the map elsewhere if you wish. Ben MacDui 09:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- Fair point, but I think that as Jamesx12345 is the main contributor, he has the final say on what is used. Jokulhlaup (talk) 18:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- An interesting re-interpretation of WP:OWN! Ben MacDui 09:28, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- I was about to say something like that :-). I'll just add the map and remove the darker photo in Geography. Jamesx12345 17:59, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Old Man of Hoy. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add Template:Tlx after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add Template:Tlx to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
- Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.mountaineering-scotland.org.uk/climbthru/1966hoy.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at Template:Tlx).
Cheers.—cyberbot IITalk to my owner:Online 07:56, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
