Is its location correct? Nepuet (talk) 19:15, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Thincat (talk) 19:38, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The location given in the wikipedia is wrong. The mountain Everest belongs to Nepal. Sajal Rokka (talk) 07:56, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 23 February 2020

Where citation is required directly after the header "Expeditions" (6 on the table of contents), I can find this information in two places easily. I propose that the text can be replaced as follows, from this: 

A set of climbing routes has been established over several decades of climbing expeditions to the mountain.[citation needed]

To this: 

A set of climbing routes has been established over several decades of climbing expeditions to the mountain.[1][2]

Or something to this effect using one or both of these links. Thank you. Zxzord (talk) 18:35, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Credits to the mathematician

I think it’s time, we should give proper credits to the person who brought light to the fact that it’s the highest.

Radhanath Sikdar name should be shoulder to shoulder with Andrew Waugh.

Wiki is suppose to be a neutral factual ground. Ignoring this is same as condoning racism. Admin, please make the changes to give due credit to Radhanath Sikdar. Be the defender and not the oppressor of the voiceless. Wiking36776 (talk) 13:16, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The location doesn't seem right.

Isn't Mount Everest completely situated in NEPAL and not CHINA??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.34.104.11 (talk) 13:06, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, the peak is the border. Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:34, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The peak is in Nepal. However lower part of Northern Slope lies in China. Bhattarai1237 (talk) 17:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Person who is good (talk) 23:41, 31 May 2020 (UTC) To add Max Christensen as a person who reached the summit in the late 50s[reply]

 Not done Please provide a reliable source (see WP:RS) and a reason for inclusion.--regentspark (comment) 23:55, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Summit Point is in Nepal.

The summit point of Mt. Everest is completely in Nepal. However lower northern slope of Everest fall in China. Nishesh99 (talk) 17:00, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Holy place for Nepali people

Nepalese people don't believe it only as a mountain, it is also a holy place for Nepali. They worship it along with other mountains. Nishesh99 (talk) 17:25, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a forum to discuss the subject of the article. If you want changes in the article, you need to provide sources meeting WP:RS and WP:VERIFY and specific changes you want, which you haven't done here or above.

It seems there is a typo as Summit Camp is told to be 8750m, but in the small table states 8850 (that is more then Mount Everest height) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claudj (talk • contribs) 12:44, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed it to 8848m. Thanks. --RegentsPark (comment) 15:14, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sagarmatha as international name

Nepal is going to use local name 'Sagarmatha' as international name instead of 'Everest' : PM KP Sharma Oli Bhattarai1237 (talk) 18:18, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So what? --Khajidha (talk) 13:25, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Remove claims that crime on Everest is driven by "local culture", including examples relating to other parts of Nepal

Section 10.1 Law and order: Please remove the final three sentences in the section, including footnotes, ie the following text:

"Westerners have sometimes struggled to understand the ancient culture and desperate poverty that drives some locals, some of whom have a different concept of the value of a human life.[352][353] For example, for just 1,000 rupees (£6.30) per person, several foreigners were forced to leave the lodge where they were staying and tricked into believing they were being led to safety. Instead they were abandoned and died in the snowstorm.[352]"

The examples and sources relate to a disaster in the Annapurna region, not to Everest. None of them provide any evidence for the claim that "ancient culture" drives crime or that "some locals ... have a different concept of the value of a human life" which would make negligent homicide or murder culturally acceptable in Nepal or Tibet. Chaiwallah (talk) 22:18, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the references and I agree. Edit done.---- Work permit (talk) 01:22, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
