Talk:Adventure racing

message: I've added a section on AR race directing.  It's from a document I started a while back and sent out to various folks for comment.  Definitely a work in progress and may not jibe with every RDs MO; however, the point is to create a pseudo-standard for putting together a race instruction booklet or passport.  I would love to see a checklist of sorts for putting on a race as well.  Comments are appreciated.Jim Farmer 01:06, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion

message: I made a couple changes to the page and I'll explain them here since there seems to be an effort to revert to original style. This isn't a magazine article so flashy quotes at the beginning of each section are very out of place. If you'd like to make a List of adventure racing quotes article, feel free, but they probably don't belong on this page, or at the very least, at the beginning of sections.
Also I remved the links to team pages. It's like putting on the Baseball article a selective of list of whatever teams editors choose to add. Not only will/would it become unbearably long, but it also doesn't belong on this page. Feel free to create individual articles for the teams or a List of adventure racing teams article, but an expansive article probably doesn't belong here. Jarfingle 20:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of data 

message: Generally the addition of a list of links is inconsistent with Wikipedia guidelines.  However, if you are contemplating writing a meaningful text section, I'd go ahead and do so.  If people don't find it worthwhile a discussion will start  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.205.144 (talk) 07:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section for clubs? 

message: The link section has been simplified by various users.  Absent objection (and pending additional edits) I would recommend removing the tag.  Please note any objections.

thread_title:  Removal of link tag? 

message: :Image:Mark-burnett.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Mark-burnett.jpg

message: I have added a link to a short documentary about adventure racing done by the Philadelphia Inquirer. As there seem to be no other videos in this article, I think its inclusion is important as it gives readers a first-hand perspective into what the sport is like. -- 69.253.80.30 (talk) 15:58, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The article Orienteering is getting a makeover right now.  Contributions are welcome.  Also, I have tagged this article within the scope of WikiProject Orienteering.

thread_title:  Orienteering 

message: I have deleted the section of article that linked to a list of AR events.  Originally the article included a self-contained list of events.  The list became large, and several editors commented that the laundry list of links was not consistent with wikipedia style standards.  The list was then deleted, and replaced with an outbound link to an AR wiki, on which race promoters (or anyone else) could add to the list.  This wiki appears to no longer be functional.  I have therefore deleted the entire section until an appropriate alternative can be identified.

thread_title:  Deletion of Section Regarding Events 

message: Due to the excessive number of external links, I implemented the normal DMOZ solution. --Trident13 (talk) 19:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: SleepMonsters has some history back to 2005, but I have a comprehensive history of the sport going back to 1980, including images and television footage. The history on this page is inaccurate and heavily slanted toward Geocentric Pty Ltd's AR World Series and ignores many of the most important and influential races from 1980 to 2007.
