| BigLee | Duplicate | |
Voted 10/10 | Unfortunately there's already a Wadi Rum page: http://www.summitpost.org/area/range/185973/wadi-rum-jordan.html Probably worth mailing the maintainer of the above page and trying to combine efforts, else one will likely get deleted for being a duplicate. That said, for the record I think this page is a lot better than the original one so good effort. | |

| Bubba Suess | DUPLICATE | |
Voted 10/10 | As already stated, this page is a duplicate. I think you have made a good contribution here and the page does have a lot of superior elements to the original page. However, the rules of SP prohibit the creation of duplicate pages, even if the original one sucks. I have run into this problem on numerous occasions and have had to cope. Perhaps you can do a variety of pages on cliffs and routes within the area instead. Ultimately, it is likely that your page will be deleted, and not by you. To avoid this unfortunate occurrence I strongly suggest you try to collaborate with the owner of the original Wadi Rum page. You seem to have a good knowledge of the area and the ability to make good pages. I hope that this incident does not dissuade you from further contributions to SP. | |

| MOCKBA | Bedouin? | |
Voted 10/10 | Some routes are marked as "bedouin", what does it mean? Also what are the suggestions for getting around within Wadi Rum (between the villages and the rocks) - is it a walking distance or one needs to hire help? Nice page actually. I think Chief is a personality and better not to intrude on his turf with duplicate pages, but it's easy to correct, just change your page type, make it a mountain or a canyon or logistical ctr or even a custom page, and it is no longer a duplicate then | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks a lot for your interesting, I'll add all this.. The routes are marked as "bedouin" meaning that it was first climbed by local Bedouin people. This routes are long and features a complex route finding, a lot scrambling and some climbing sections up to 5+ moves. There ara only one village - Rum, & a lot desert bedouin camps. To J.Rum & J. um Ishrin it is a walking distance. Getting to Barrah and others will need 4 wheel-drive up to 60JD ~ 80$ for the most remote area (2ways). | |

| BigLee | Custom Object | |
Voted 10/10 | I think changing this page to a custom object is a bad move. It's clearly a geographical area and still a duplicate. It just means that people aren't going to find your page when searching under area/ranges. Bad solution. I'd change it back. | |
