User talk:PKGenerations


 * Comments There is already an article on Parkour which looks to me to deal very well with the history, philosophy and just about everything to do with the sport. What else would you post, bearing in mind that WP:COI (conflict of interest) recommends that you avoid editing about your company/group? I am also concerned about your use of 'we' - are you aware that Wikipedia accounts are for individuals only? No password sharing. A comment on the article: you really should reference things like the 69% decrease in crime, and I feel that the word 'disadvantaged' used in the context of Westminster is rather different to that word when applied to certain other London boroughs.

Thank you for your reply: First off I thought the sandbox is considered a safe environment of trying the Wikipedia formatting without publishing yet.I am a newcomer to Wikipedia and yes indeed after reading some of the guidelines referring to creation of usernames I understand why the account got instablocked. "We" was referring to Parkour Generations and violated the user guidelines, sry for that. The article I intended to write lacked of any references as I wanted some basic formatting done first and wanted to pick up on it an other day. For example here some references for the 69% 1. (page 16)https://www.sportengland.org/media/91502/creating-safer-communities.pdf 2. (page4) http://www.hags-smp.co.uk/resources/uploads/SMP/files/freemove-brochure.pdf 3. (page1) http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/London%20Councils/WWCSyouthoffending.pdf 4. http://www.theguardian.com/education/2009/mar/17/parkour-urban-youth 5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_Westminster (is incomplete btw.)

I am aware that statistics are a tricky one. There is more than 1 reason to challenge this figure but yet it got officially presented by London Metropolitan Police, that´s what I am referring to not the validity of the 69% it self.

The article on Parkour Generations will help shed light on some things deeply relating to the development of parkour itself as some of the founding members of the company are founding members of the whole discipline. Turning a blind eye to the development of Parkour Generations would mean not taking into account all the changes that can be traced to it. For example the introduction of the international ADAPT Programme as a means of setting parkour coaching standards and so on. Furthermore: The article Freerunning is referencing Dan Edwardes (director of Parkour Generations) when it talks about the origins and Parkour history.

One of the main sources should be Julie Angels Phd work Cine Parkour but as Parkour is a very new discipline referencing by academic standards is quite hard. Especially when relating to commonly misconcept things as parkour history. I was aiming on using published articles, interviews and various sources to back up most of the things mentioned and also I am open for discussion on any points someone might disagree on or thinks does not reflect reality.

Thank you for your time.77.102.239.254 (talk) 20:55, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
