Adverts, etc.

[edit]

Many of the race descriptions are just ripped directly from the website and read as an advertisement. Also serious formatting issues on this page along with categorical errors. The industry was listed as "sports" when it should (now) clearly by OCR. Sam metal (talk) 15:42, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing historical inaccuracy regarding founders

[edit]

The inaccuracy of this page and exclusion of the two most important people (Julian Kopald and Andy Weinberg) who created the vision behind Peak & Spartan (now run by Joe De Sena) has been fixed. Hopefully, the editors of the page will not continue to suppress real history.

Thank you for adding a quality source to the article that backs up your claim. Another editor tried to remove the other founders, and I reverted the edit. I gather that there's some controversy around this topic. If anyone has a counter-claim, please present evidence that De Sena was the sole founder instead of just deleting sourced information.

Hi Tdc42. You should be aware of some history of this editor's claims. In general, start with [1] and read down to [2]. The last section is where several of us were specifically discussing the fwweekly.com source, it was archived out of order. The editor using the 201.170.166.167 IP is banned; please have a look at the linked discussion before engaging with them. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:02, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is it Tuesday already? GMGtalk 18:03, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this whole thing looks like a cluster. I’ll bow out of this one. Tdc42 (talk) 22:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
