Source-derived summary

The Everest Peace Project is an organization based in the United States that promotes peace, teamwork and cultural understanding by climbing some of the highest peaks in the world by a team of individuals from various faiths and cultures.

Climbs

In 2004 the Everest Peace Project climbed Mount Shasta to celebrate the United Nations International Day of Peace.

In 2005 the Everest Peace Project climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

In 2006 the Everest Peace Project climbed Mount Everest on May 18; the summit was reached by a trio composed of two Israelis (Dudu Yifrah and Micha Yaniv) and a Palestinian (Ali Bushnaq); Yifrah unfolded a sewn together Israeli–Palestinian flag on the summit of Everest. The climb is the main focus of the documentary film Everest: A Climb for Peace, narrated by Orlando Bloom. The documentary has been hailed as a "tremendous achievement" by the Dalai Lama and has received his endorsement.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2004, 2005, 2006—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Everest, Peace and Project providing the first useful test.

The linked authority identifier is Q3061460. VIAF identifies the subject as 150481705.

Critical limits

The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
