Talk:Skate4Cancer

explanation
User:Skate4cancer excised the coverage of how fraudster Ashley Kirilow defrauded Dyer and Skate4Cancer. They didn't explain this excision here, and, in fact, used a misleading edit summary. Our articles aren't hagiography, the defrauding was well documented, and in my opinion that material should be restored. I restored it. Geo Swan (talk) 22:21, 22 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I excised the primary sources tag. Many valid secondary sources were removed from this article, without explanation.  I restored them.  Geo Swan (talk) 23:26, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

An collage of Ashley Kirilow was removed from this article
An collage of Ashley Kirilow was removed from this article with the edit summary that it wasn't properly documented with its own fair use justification. I fixed that and restored the image. Geo Swan (talk) 19:33, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Edits and use of a blog
Since this is an old organization, which in it's time was run entirely by teenagers, much of the information is murky. I revisited this article just because it's been fun to research and edit, but it should be noted that some of the only reliable information around their marathons and their timeline at the moment is from the Wayback Machine via their old Myspace page.There's an additional skateboard news site they would update on, but the wayback machine unfortunately didn't catch most of that blog's material, and they shut down sometime in 2014.

I believe only one of the inline citations should include a blog, and I'm working to remove any others that were added by the original author as I find more secondary sources. Please remove any you find unnecessary! Thanks! MerlinCat2 (talk) 01:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
