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)

: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 ==
--> [[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)

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.
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.

: 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.

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)

Honestly, nobody cares. Was that all nonsense you got to say after all this? Very disappointing. Please don´t show your face again, when i am working on an article. I am out of this now. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 04:30, 23 September 2015 (CEST)
"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)
::: I know, but that's not a reason to not use internationally accepted date and time formats, or proper English! Every flipping browser has spell-check dictionaries in every language (except of course stuff from Redmond), so it's very easy to use them. Dittor with another of my pet peeves, gas versus petrol: in Europe we use petrol and get it in petrol stations, in the US they use gas and get it in gas stations!
