Help me!
Regarding World Record Stilt Walker - I would like to add my officially verified Guinness World Record.

Please help me with...I am officially recognized By Guinness (in 2012 edition pg. 110) & Alternative Records (In their only book published to-date and web site) & World Record Republic ( in web site) for Tallest and Heaviest Stilts Mastered. On September 14, 2002, Doug Hunt set a new Guinness World Record in Brantford, Ontario Canada, for Tallest Stilt walker. He took 29 independent steps on stilts measuring 50 feet 9 inches tall and weighing a combined weight of 137 pounds. Note: Doug Hunt is the only stilt record holder to accomplish this feat unassisted (with out overhead support/safety lines)Doug Hunt (talk) 18:32, 14 August 2015 (UTC).

Hello there, so from my understanding, you'd like verification on Wikipedia that you are the World Record holder? Could you please explain why you'd like to do this and how it would affect you on Wikipedia. Snowycats (talk) 19:54, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Officially recognized by Guinness World Records. Still hold Officially Heavist stilts (over 50’ in height) with more than required 25 Steps (unassisted ) I am the only person to walk over 25 steps (original rules) on Stilts measuring 50’9” in height. Doug Hunt (talk) 14:31, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Robynthehode Hi, My apologies. Thank you for your help and support. I am not a circus performer. Explanation I set these stilt records under guidance and verification from Guinness World Records. Reason - to bring attention to people with Physical Disabilities. As a result my Team and I brought in over $1000.00 for charity. I added with your help my records- because I was so disappointed in reading unofficial records being recognised. Just wanted to set the record right to all those that supported me. Hope that is okay. Communications I am in my 60’s. This online stuff is a challenge - Please no intent on my part to disrespect Wikipedia and members. Not sure what I could add? Also, I feel I do support wikipedia in other ways. I was happy to make an annual financial donation Sincerely and all the besT!

Added record
I have added your record for the heaviest stilts used at the Stilts article. Robynthehode (talk) 11:07, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Always nice to be thanked for helping a fellow editor out. You are clearly a WP:SPA and don't want to improve Wikipedia apart from having your record included. A shame you don't want to contribute even if it would only be for circus related articles. 09:43, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
