==To Robert and rest==--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 18:28, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
You had two chances to bring up some arguments and start a discussion. Still i am looking for any answer to my question, why you just copy paste the old article under the new one? Why you put your record twice into it, if it is already included? What is your intention with your rude behaviour? Why do we need every entry from the Land´s End record? No reaction.
Or let´s say it the other way around. I was more interested in the question: Do you want to contribute something to this process? Or is it just a wounded pride show, cause someone whipped off your unfinished article. I didn´t know it was yours (neither i care), so don´t take it personal. The article had an introduction note, that it was unfinished. Nevermind. It was just a bad article. Vladas gave me all those old records, made by very well-known community members and asked me to include them. So i did. Already alot of people helped to correct things and make it even better. You just invested time to insult me and bringing up super arrogant behaviour. Not worth to deal with, because (as i already said) it does not have the intention to lead anywhere but depreciate me.
And to make this clear. It took me some time to make this article. It took me some time to get all the infos. I come here only with the intention to make this article better and i have to deal with this childish bullshit. Not a nice feeling. Not fun at all. You poisoned the whole discussion without contributing anything. Congratz.
If this is the way you do collaborative work in a Wikipedia, you should really rethink your own role here. Nitpicking on time and spelling. Doing (obviously) useless edits. Aggressively insulting me. Not even having the manners to excuse yourself for false statements and neither stopping your passiv aggressiv behaviour. Honestly, nobody wants this and your childish reaction is not at all legitimated for an edit, even IF i "carelessly wiped off" anything. If you never learned to behave in the Internet, mabe now is the time. (btw. there is a wrong spelling in the "mabe". I saw that. I could correct it. But i just don´t care. Humans make mistakes. Get over it.)
Conclusion:
I am not here to be the dustbin for you whatever-frustration. I am not here to deal with any personal stuff. I want to create content. I see that this discussion is more going about speeling, disrespectful nonsense and the minor details about the record which has my name on it, then it goes about the things we have to discuss. You pushed me to do this statement, which is kinda embarassing in itself, that we are at this point. I tried to started this in a calm and respectful mood. Not succeeded. So: I will not take part in editing this page further.
PS.: And it would be really pleasing, if you guys would stop ripping apart posts. Nobody can follow, especially if you comment without putting your signature in. Just write a block and quote in your own posting, this is much easier to read.

Anyway, the world will still go on turning, whatever happens with this page.--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 18:55, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
: The whole page also would benefit from uniforming the layout. This includes restructuring the text in so much that in half of the records the record itself is mentioned first in order of performance, while other records mention first the name or names of the people who set that record. This structuring is in my perception not logical. I believe that this structure already existed in the article on its previous location (VHHC? PASL?). Furthermore, the records have to be re-ordered, as some are more important that others. Perhaps we could sort the records in categories like 1) lifetime achievements 2) full year achievements 3) full trip/journey achievements 4) 24 hour achievements 5) other achievements.
: If nobody else volunteers, I would perform this task. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 19:28, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
: What does the Guinness Book know about hitch-hiking? Well, not that much of course, since they do not keep records about it (anymore) ;) However, in general I would believe that Guinness Book is an authority when it comes to selecting and registering records and in verifying record entries. To me, this still shows from the "old" data on Hitchwiki, like the gradual improvement of John O Goats to Land's End record over the years. Guinness seems to be just really good at registering such records and it would be hoped for, and an honor for the sport, if hitch-hiking would be included again in their registry. As for this page, I do not know what feels better to me yet: to split it up in two, or to keep it in one. The route suggestions are not relevant to me. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 19:28, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
"like the gradual improvement"
:Definitely a nice effect. But not relevant in this page. Maybe easier to take it out then. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 19:42, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
:I restructured the records already a bit and tried to cluster within "topics". I would not go the path of relevance as it is very subjective thing. And the general idea that "this record is more important than another one" seems to point in a direction of (de)preciating records and might set a negativ discussion culture.--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 19:42, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
Your words. But often it comes just down to doing it. No discussion is most efficicent and it excludes a negatively biased discussion too ;) --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 19:57, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
== Irrelevant part of World Record ==
Was a more entertaining fact. Take it out, if you want. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 17:01, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
: I have felt as free to already have done that yesterday, when I also added the new records ''Fastest round the world hitchhike trip'' (Alexej Vorov), ''Highest number of countries within 10 days'' (Miran Ipavec) and ''Longest "driving the driver" ride'' (Frank Verhart). --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 19:15, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
== Adding records discussion on Hitchwiki' FB page ==
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: I think it might warrant inclusion as it's relatively rare.
: Robert. I noticed that your fastest in your carreer ride (congrats!) happened at the same time as my "driving your driver" 781 km =D. Quite a little coincidence! I've already included my 781 km in the list. Would you recommend me to contact our colleagues in Lithuania and Russia to see if they know anyone who "drove his driver" over a longer distance. As stated before, I'm very sure others have "driven their drivers" over a longer distance than me. But as long as nobody claims... it would be at least fair to verify this with LT and RU. What is your thought on that. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 23:48, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
: Stefan, have you heard of anyone who drove his driver more than me? Kasper told me to ask you and Vladas about it, so here I am. Kasper by the way drove his driver once for about 600 kms (Nancy-Avignon). I wouldn't mind inclusion of this effort of course :) --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 23:50, 22 September 2015 (CEST)

Hi Robert, before i answer i would ask you to participate in a constructive discussion here. Insultings and overreaction will lead nowhere. I try to react on your posting in a respectable way and i also ask you to show a bit more respect in this further discussion. Thanks.--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 05:30, 21 September 2015 (CEST)

: The record 32 is very easy to break, you only have to hit the road for 24hrs with the purpose of doing it, and I expect that it can be done in just a few hours if you just pick the right spot and hitch back and forth every time 1 km (e.g. between traffic lights or busstops). I don't mind it's inclusion that much. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 10:23, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
: : It is not the sense of a record to just hitch back and forth to break it. I think this is very silly discussion. I wonder what your purpose for this is. Also i am suprised, why you depreciate this so vehement. Even two times in this discussion. It is neither polite, nor does it make any sense. You could also say "Lowest temperature is very easy to beat, you just have to go to russiaRussia, wait for the coldest winter and then catch a ride". You can also beat the last record and just give some random hitchhiker 300€. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 19:45, 22 September 2015 (CEST) ::: The lowest and highest temperatures encountered while hitchhiking and the money given to a hitchhiker are three records that have absolutely nothing to do with hitchhiking. I do not know why they were ever added to the VAK page, and neither do I feel any sympathy for Ken Welsh "Slowest ride between two points", when no sane hitchhiker would ever spend 4:30 on a milkfloat to cover a distance they could have covered on foot in 30 minutes.

::: It makes a lot of sense to try to break a hitch-hiking records. What is a record if there is no sense of "improving" it? And breaking the 32 rides is actually a lot easier for me than going to Russia in the freaking cold as I have truly no wish to do so, as it will cost me a month and I would have to buy visa which I by principle do not want. Giving 300+ euro to a hitch-hiker is not an option for me as well, unless you give me that money, then we can think of an agreement. So, hitting the road for 33+ rides is for me first choice, to which my main objectives are 1) I do not feel like it and 2) it would not be good for my ride length averages. That means, one competitor less and your record still stands ;). Congratulations! PS. Try to beat mine (which I've already included): longest "driving your driver" ride 781 km. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 23:28, 22 September 2015 (CEST) :::: You dont get the point. Maybe it is just a complete different culture, of people who do their hitchhiking and make a record and people who hitchhike TO make a record. Most of the above achievements are in the first category for sure. And it is much more legit and charming than going out to hunt for a record. I will not go out to "beat" any record (also not yours). Allthough my actual route is going to be longer than the Autocolombus Expedition of Alexej and i want to get through 100.000 km and will be in the "Longest Expedition" Category next year. But this is not the purpose of what i do (but the cherry on top). This is an important difference. Cheers. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 04:30, 23 September 2015 (CEST) :: You can do all that, if you are a famebitch fame-bitch and have the really deep need, to get on this list.

"Further reference" makes sense to me in this article and can stay.
Maybe the "Guiness Guinness Book of Records Hitchhiking" fit more into another article about the History of Hitchhiking within the Guiness Guinness Book.
: ''No, they are records, no need to create more pages.''
Actually listing all the times from each year is not a record at all. Furthermore i I still dont think anyone is interested in it. If you want to keep it, then keep the actual record time. But for a general overview in this article, i I would exclude all records that are regarding to a specific route, just because it is getting too much and you can theoretically put and route in it, you want.--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 05:29, 21 September 2015 (CEST) :: Yes, you can put any route in it, and just like with Wikipedia, irrelevant data would be removed again.

:: The GBOR hitchhiking records were top of the pops in the pre-internet times, times when hitch-hiking was a tad less of a society-marginal activity and hence these records deserve a lot of respect. Land's End to John O Goats was then true such thing that hitch-hikers would like to beat in order to be recorded in the new edition of the GBOR. If we every would like to see hitch-hiking records come back to the GBOR, I think we should at least keep them in here! --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 10:23, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
