Talk:List of people who have run across Australia

credibility of citations

There is a distinct lack of credibility with citations on this entry. Links to any old web site isn't credible enough to make it fact, therefore deletions have been made accordingly. 135.196.122.103 (talk) 23:36, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

proposed deletion

This article is based of very shaky links to personal home pages. This article is not properly referenced and therefore should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.196.122.103 (talk) 21:02, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Please note that the person using the username "Bezza84" first persisted in creating a page called "List of people who have walked across Australia". The page lacked proper citations and contained possible libellous comments about living people. Since he was stopped in his tracks, he has now begun this page: "List of people who have run across Australia". Both of these pages are nonsense, both lack proper citations and contain potentially libellous content about living people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.196.122.103 (talk) 20:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

There was no discussion on merging the article on Achim Heukemes within the List of people who have run across Australia article after a considerable period of having been open to discussion. As such, the merger has taken place. Bezza84 (talk) 16:26, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I propose that Achim Heukemes be merged into List of people who have run across Australia. The original article is a stub which contains duplicate information that has been listed within this article. Bezza84 (talk) 10:45, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Attn 135.196.122.103

All of your recent malicious edits have been reverted.

I am going to say this one more time. The content written about Robert Garside is not libel, defamation, slander, or anything else you want to call it. The text has been drawn from two very reliable sources - Sports Illustrated (a division of CNN), and Reuters. I am sure that I will find more which will say the exact same thing if I looked, but I'm satisfied that the content is accurate. I'm also not going to waste any more of my time to further reinforce the validity of the content only for you to completely disregard it.

After your first objection on my first page List of people who have walked across Australia, I went to the effort to find an additional reference to verify the content. I rephrased what two professional journalists had written to make the content less confrontational, and even created this new page in light of your previous objection to the article including runners because the title do not extend to include runners. Despite my having said that the article listed runners as well, and having taken extra steps to illustrate this point, you continued to object. The fact that you focussed solely upon Robert Garside and ignored the several other runners in the list, simply reinforces your agenda to try disclose the fact that Robert Garside was accused of cheating. I have nothing but respect for people like Robert (thus the creation of the article), and he was officially awarded the World Record - so WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!?! I have been VERY accommodating of your constant unjustified objections, but this has to stop. Your MALICIOUS deletion of content on a Wikipedia article is NOT going to change what Robert did (or did not do).

ANY further modifications to this content from you will be marked as VANDALISM, and a violation of the WP:3RR policy. Violations of this policy carry a BAN from Wikipedia after the fourth incident (you have interfered three times now). Your activities have been reported to an administrator for follow up. Feel free to make a VALUED contribution instead of constantly undermining the efforts of others on this site. Cheers.

CANADIAN LINUX USER, PLEASE STOP VANDALISING "ROBERT GARSIDE"-RELATED PAGES ON WIKIPEDIA. IN THIS CASE YOU HAVE DELETED AN ENTIRE ENTRY ABOUT ROBERT GARSIDE ON THIS PAGE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_run_across_Australia. Robert Garside was the first person to run around the world, including Australia. This is public knowledge and there are numerous media stories on the Internet.
