== Women hitchhiking ==
Is the following correct? To me this seems to be an assumption of the contributor. It is not in line with results from the German study for example (Anhalterwesen und Anhaltergefahren).
""For women, hitchhiking seems to be more risky. But it is not really. Many men are reporting the same degree of violation as women. If most reported cases of murder or rape of hitchhikers involve women hitchhiking alone, it is because men are less likely to report rapes , and murders are not getting the label of "hitch-hiking-murders" as often with male victims.""

Hi N0id. Thank you for your contributions to Hitchwiki. Please make sure to include an edit summary with every edit. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history.

:Hey. Thank You for your contribution. As you might have noticed, hitchwiki is not wikipedia. Usually, we do not need and usually don't have references in our articles. True enough, I could have provided an edit summary, however, I considered your "reference" such an obvious attempt to promote your website (which, even though related to hitchhiking has a big dollar sign behind it) that the removal should be self-explanatory. --[[User:N0id|N0id]] ([[User talk:N0id|talk]]) 12:19, 29 June 2013 (CEST)
::The Adventure Sauce website is not my website. I have never written there, have never commented there, and don't know the webmaster there. I have no affiliation with it whatsoever. I have been contributing to Wikipedia, on and off, for the past five years or so. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Unforgettableid (Please see my contributions list there.)] I like adding references to every wiki, for various reasons.
::* To thank authors. (Yes, even if their websites are blatantly commercial, they still deserve credit.)
::* So that people can click through to read more.
::* And so that people can click through to evaluate the trustworthiness of the source.
::Yes, it is perhaps a bit annoying that Adventure Sauce is so commercial, but just as Wikipedia feels free to credit blatantly-commercial websites, so do I.
::P.S. I probably shouldn't've reverted again until our discussion was finished: revert warring pollutes the history and Recent Changes pages. I apologize.
::Cheers! —[[User:Unforgettableid|Unforgettableid]] ([[User talk:Unforgettableid|talk]]) 06:49, 30 June 2013 (CEST)
My mistake to assume that it was your website, but since your account wasn't used for a couple of years and then a single small edit contained that fishy link it was suspicious. Let it be then. Cheers, --[[User:N0id|N0id]] ([[User talk:N0id|talk]]) 14:09, 4 July 2013 (CEST)
