Talk:Aron Ralston

message: This article claims that dude likes PHISH and cites three sources, none of which mention the band. That statement needs to be properly cited or removed. Superwesman (talk) 15:55, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Aron mentions multiple times during his public speeches that his favorite band is Phish. Is it possible to cite this? It's definitely not a false statement. Dlsimon (talk) 15:56, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Phish 

message: This article reads like an elementary school book report that was completed during the commercial breaks of American Idol. Weak-i-pedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.239.51 (talk) 06:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quality of writing 

message: He doesn't mention them at all in this interview (excerpt).
Instead, he says "It was such a remarkable synchronicity of me getting myself free and out into the open where then I could be found and that helicopter being there within minutes of when I would otherwise have bled to death that is to me still an astonishing miracle ..."
I find it difficult to believe he would neglect to mention the people who alerted the authorities and ultimately saved his life. Rickyp (talk) 01:41, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did Aron really meet a couple from the Netherlands after freeing himself?

Here is a photo of Ralston in his Yamulke!...so why the absence of mentioning his Judaism?!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.111.98 (talk) 04:05, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's not relevant or notable? Bienfuxia (talk) 03:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Wait, I'm "antisemitic" because I don't have any interest in someone's religion? If you think it has any relevance to his notability, feel free to add it to the article (with a citation please), nobody's stopping you. Bienfuxia (talk) 07:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: His ethnicity is relevant. Wikifan12345 (talk) 09:13, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: How is it relevant? How has it been an influence on his career? I'm not saying it hasn't - but if it has then add it to the article, properly sourced, don't come onto the talk page and make ad hominem accusations. Bienfuxia (talk) 01:53, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The threshold for inclusion is verifability. If Ralston has acknowledged his status as a Jew then it should be stated in the article. Assuming of course a reliable source can be found. Wikifan12345 (talk) 02:17, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not talking about the threshold for inclusion here, I'm talking about tacking on "facts" about people for no obvious purpose - see this edit - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aron_Ralston&action=historysubmit&diff=413070769&oldid=413047591 Bienfuxia (talk) 03:55, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If a source exists supporting the claim that he is Jewish or of Jewish descent, it should be included in the article. A simple "American Jews" category would suffice. Wikifan12345 (talk) 23:18, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, of course, nobody's arguing against that. Bienfuxia (talk) 04:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: None YOU mentioned YOUR religion in these comments! Do you hate yourselves that much? Shame on your anti-Semitic and anti-Christian ways. If Aron's religion is relevant, yours is too. I'll start: I'm an atheist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.239.51 (talk) 06:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: How dare YOU!! I am a proud Jewish foreskinless male!!! That is why I was enquiring about this white-washing of Ralston's history and heritage!134.159.111.98 (talk) 11:55, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The claim concerning Ralston climbing all of Colorado's fourteeners has been queried at the BLP noticeboard. According to the Aspen Times he was the first to do this solo, not overall, which the article does specify but I wondered if there might be a way of wording this more clearly.
The article also mentions 53 mountains, citing a source that lists 53 mountains but has no mention of Ralston, there's some disagreement as to the number of mountains that should be counted as fourteeners but apparently he climbed 59 and the article gives the impression he climbed 53. January (talk) 21:39, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Is that source mentioned in the article already? A brief search suggests that it isn't, but I may have done something wrong. If it isn't, I suggest that it should be added. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:04, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Added. Questionable whether the other sources there are relevant, the article written by Ralston could perhaps be an external link instead. January (talk) 22:20, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Is weight of the boulder known?
I read that it was around 800-1000 pounds. The MSNBC article says that it was 800 pounds. XP1 (talk) 01:39, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is weight of the boulder known? 

message: The photo of him in the mountains in 2009 has weird black lines through it, but links to a properly rendered photo. Anyone know why?
:Same thing happens for me. Maybe it has to do with the compression or color space? --Fru1tbat (talk) 12:08, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure labeling it a domestic violence charge is warranted. Domestic Violence is a charge of its own, and he was not charged with that. He was charged with Assault. Details are still coming out. I think this is a premature label. His wife was arrested too, you know. We don't have the whole story. I recommend editing "domestic violence" to just read "assault" until more is known.134.243.209.75 (talk) 19:12, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
