Talk:Appalachian Mountain Club

Split?

The High Huts section is getting pretty long, and has huge possibilities for expansion (system's history as a whole, images, maybe bios on important figures like Joe Dodge, etc...). Maybe it could be split to its own page (High Huts of the White Mountains? Appalachian Mountain Club Huts?), becuase right now the TOC looks kind of shabby what with two sections but 8 or 9 subheadings in the High Huts section. There's a chance it will look better with more material added (I plan to put in some stuff about the visitors centers, whatever else i can find), and maybe it just doesn't warrant a split. But that's how i feel on the issue. The page itself isn't too long, per se, but it just seems to be dominated by the High Huts material. Thoughts?jfg284 17:37, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. There's plenty of other stuff to talk about with the AMC, aside from the huts. I like High Huts of the White Mountains as a category. - DavidWBrooks 23:02, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

What are you doing with the existing separate pages for each hut - I assume we should redirect them to High Huts of the White Mountains. Note, however, that I will have one screw-up of mine to fix ... I made it Madison Springs Hut (plural)! I'll need to make sure nothing still points there. - DavidWBrooks 16:28, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

after overhauling those pages to this one, i called for a deletion of one of them (mizpah, i think?) with a redirect here as a test to see if it went through. i think a redirect across the board is a good idea, but now there's another problem: what high huts material should be kept here? we cant ignore it on this page, but obviously not all of it should be deleted. I took out the table (it's not that pertinent to the AMC as an organization, but what should be kept on this page about the high huts?jfg284 18:11, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, this issue has sort of been forgotten (he said, nine months later). I think I'll cut come hut material from this page and see what happens. - DavidWBrooks 22:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Infobox is ridiculous

The infobox on this article is currently an example of what they should not be - it's a enormous grab-bag of anything editors could find that may or may not be relevant to readers, full of unnecessary tidbits (Tax ID number?!?!) and material that's not in the article, like revenue from four years ago. WP:infobox says: "The purpose of an infobox: to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article (an article should remain complete with its summary infobox ignored, with exceptions noted below). The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance."

It needs to be slashed, with some material moved into the article. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 13:44, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
