The '''Women's road time trial''' at the '''[[2008 Summer Olympics]]''' took place on August 13 at the [[Urban Road Cycling Course]]. Of the 25 women competing in the event, the medal hopefuls included [[Karin Thürig]] (Switzerland), [[Judith Arndt]] and [[Hanka Kupfernagel]] (Germany), [[Marianne Vos]] (Netherlands), [[Christiane Soeder]] (Austria), and road race gold medalist [[Nicole Cooke]] (Great Britain). <ref>http://en.beijing2008.cn/news/sports/headlines/cyclingroad/n214534645.shtml</ref>


Cyclists started at two-minute intervals on the course,

== Sugababes single Girls deletion of the writers name ==
|-

!Rank !!Rider !!Time
Hi
|-

|align=center|[[Image:gold medal icon.svg]]
I keep noticing that you keep deleting my name (Nicole Jenkinson) from the list of writers when i am the legal and publishered co writer for this song that the sugababes have performed.
|{{flagIOCathlete|[[Kristin Armstrong]]|USA|2008 Summer}}
After checking the Wikipedia guidlines i realize i cannot write about myself but i am the legal writer on this song and MUST NOT be deleted from the list of writers.
|34:51.72

Please inform me if this is not able to be put right as i will need to seek advice from my publisher and music lawyer about the false information given on the artical regarding the writers.

Many thanks

There were no references to third-party publications documenting this artist, and the article was written in a promotional tone, complete with contact information, which is inappropriate. Thus, the deletion. A referenced article, written in a neutral, non-promotional manner, may very well be welcome. As it stood, it was unencyclopedic advertising.

::I've used the <nowiki> {{talkback|username}} </nowiki>}} template with success - I think it's been used on you talkpage by a few users.

::If you use [[WP:wikED]], you can pick formatting off the menus. I find it annoying, but you can enable it under user preferences, gadgets. [[Help:Wikitext examples]] has a lot of information concerning wikitext with links to other places. There's also [[Help:Editing]]. You should have a bar of menu items at the top of the edit window that will help with formatting in any case: it starts with bold.

It's a word that was invented and spread, just like every other word in the English language started. Get off your power trip, it's not a big deal to you because it is foreign to you. I love your list by the way, and if its not like a dictionary, what happens when you type the word "hunger" answer that for me.

edit: some portions of the site do exist like a dictionary

:Again, sources? Three articles in independent media with a reputation for fact checking? And somehow
"Scrucker" is of similar stature to the ''concept'' of [[Hunger]]? There is a difference between an [[encyclopedia]] and a [[dictionary]].

Of course, your genius missed the point of my example, you enter in a search on wikipedia for any item and it gives a description of what your looking for, come on now, actually think about it. Not scrucker being similiar to hunger, its what the site does for any word. "Sources?" I told you it was an invented word created in the midwest, you want CNN to publish a story about it or what, how can you source something new? How do you source an adjective(that my friend is a description of someone)?Did someone have to source the word "time" (seriously think about how someone described this when it was first idealized, how could you source that?) I am correct in this matter, it just seems youve alreay made up your mind. I plead for open-mindedness and unbias, I'm really not trying to argue for something to do, many people want to make a page for this. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jdgotc|Jdgotc]] ([[User talk:Jdgotc|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jdgotc|contribs]]) 02:48, 26 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Invented word? Read [[WP:MADEUP|Wikipedia is not for things you made up one day]].
:Verifiabilty? Read [[WP:V|Verifiability]]. This is a non-negotiable Wikipedia policy. [[Time]] has 51 references and a bibliography.

Here is a thought, maybe time has that many references and a bibliography because it's been around forever, again you miss the point, I was talking about when spread of the word and its meaning was manifesting. CNN did not publish a story about scrucker, but you already knew that. We did not make this up in one day, the spread has taken place over years, (5 if you want a number). I'm sorry that the creation of this page would bother you so much, way to flex your digital muscle! Your the WikiGod, congratulations!

::Have you read the submission requirements I provided? They are ''requirements''. Not debatable. If and when there are verifable sources, the word is welcome. Language changes, and instances of new words are welcome, ''provided you cite sources in compliance with our editing requirements''. We get all kinds of articles on all sorts of nonsense, and much of it gets deleted - about 1000 articles a day. How else are we to maintain a credible encyclopedia if we don't require references? There's no other way to tell the good from the bad.

1. How do you supposed I could attain a source for this? It is credible, just not something that would be printed in articulate journalism, unless a complete article is done on the word.

2. If it was used in a sentence,(without a definition) in an article as an adjective, is that credible as a source just by the use?

Any ideas, advice, or "loopholes" that you know of that could help us?

:::Thanks for working with me here. We really ''do'' like to see articles on the new and strange, but we still have to maintain standards. No loopholes, and we don't permit [[WP:OR|original research]]. I do, in fact, believe that the word is current in your area. Unfortunately, a Google search gets only 48 hits, and some are on some sort of scooter-truck. The rest appear to be blogs and hence useless, but I didn't look at every last one. I'd expect to see hundreds of hits if it was a really current word. Still, have a look through Google. You'd have to show via references that it was being used extensively and consistently, and you're still in dictionary territory with it (see [[WP:DICDEF]] - I finally found the most relevant policy - we have hundreds, you know).

Hi, sorry to be a bother, but I see you were the most recent admin to block this user. ([[User talk:71.248.62.143]])
Just wanted to let you know that his 1 week block has expired and he's promptly started adding nonsense (bogus episode info) onto the article he's been repeatedly blocked over. Am I ok letting you know or do I need to post this some place official? (Always trying to learn how things run here) Thank you for your time.

:You can post it at [[WP:3RR]] for more eyes. Just looking at it I couldn't make heads or tails of his edits, but edit-warring to insert false information will earn a lengthy block. I assume the references are not useful?

::*Not sure if he's up to the point of actually 'warring' today (though he seems to definitely be on a long-term campaign). It looks like his recent 'additions' were fake: ie, he copied the reference number and pasted it in on 3 'episodes' that don't actually exist. And thanks for the advice =) I will post on the 3RR board if he continues. [[User:Dp76764|Dp76764]] ([[User talk:Dp76764|talk]]) 19:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Further more what the hell is this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET_Networks . It is made the same way as my site it has just been added on to more. In NO way was my site for promotional use. It was just explaining what the site was all about. And why the hell would I advertise on this overrated incorrect half the time piece of junk site. If I wanted to advertise then don't you think I could do It by putting goggles code on my site. I am so glad you feel all high and mighty deleting non developed sites.

:I wouldn't use [[CNET Networks]] as an example: it's <small>shudder</small> a godawful article. You might want to read our requirements for web notability at [[WP:WEB]]. Your article did not meet the requirements set forth there. I also saw your article as promotional, although on further consideration it met deletion criteria for web content more clearly than as promotion. Keep in mind that Wikipedia documents notability that already exists and has been noted in independent media, not potential notability. I sympathize with your frustration, but notability is a requirement for inclusion.

The Taxicab incident is not trivial. Compared to some of the other first-had accounts, the taxicab incident is MORE important because there is/was physical and photographic evidence. And that photograph is already an entry in Wikipedia, so it should link back to this article. Furthermore, the additional information took, what, ten words? Those ten words make it much harder for conspiracy theorists to claim something other than Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/63.114.26.15|63.114.26.15]] ([[User talk:63.114.26.15|talk]]) 17:02, 2 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:You underestimate the tenacity of the theorists: there is one school of thought that claims that the conspiracy acquired an ex-Navy [[A-3 Skywarrior]] and painted it in American Airlines colors and crashed it into the Pentagon. <small>(shakes head)</small> I'd suggest you bring it up on the talk page. It seems to me to be trivial, but perhaps something can be crafted that puts it into context. As it was, I couldn't tell why light poles falling on a taxi had much to do with the main point of the article.

== Sorry for geting mad. for http://wwww.applefox.biz.vi ==

I was wondering If I could please make this "site" again. If I can then could you not delete it intently until you talk to me about it. I didn't know there was something wrong in the first place. I will make sure I don't brake any terms of use and if I do can you please let me know so I can fix it instead of deleting it. Once again sorry I was mad. Please respond. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Applefox|Applefox]] ([[User talk:Applefox|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Applefox|contribs]]) 23:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:You should review [[WP:WEB]], which states the requirements for articles on web content to make sure your article meets them. I won't delete it, since you asked, but that doesn't mean that any of the other 1600 administrators won't, for the same reasons I did the first time.

:I am a meanie, Ms. McFakename (you must be one of those Scots-Latvians that are agitating in other portions of the encyclopedia for the return of the Sclatvian Recovered Territories to their rightful, erm, owners. I think the Isle of Man has jurisdiction). Anyway, go ahead and re-create your article so I can have the mean, soul-destroying joy of deleting it and trampling on your tiny dreams.

::Everyone who looks objectively and fairly at the best sources can clearly see that Scotland has ''always'' belonged to Latvia. Unfortunately, the best efforts of myself and my fellow Latvians, who have only the best interests of the world at heart, are being destroyed by the Scottish Cabal, whom are removing our corrections because they are all extremist radical terrorists who believe in killing Latvian babies. I suspect all of the Scots on Wikipedia of being sockpuppets; you must block them all if The Truth is ever to be told. -[[User:Betsy Mcfakename]]
:::Google searches turn up indications of a sinister Scottish-Latvian collaboration, including this gem [http://www.ssta.org.uk/Archive/Congress2004-GSreport.htm], with items like: “New Chauffeur service for teachers – in future all teachers will be conveyed directly from home to school by limousine”. “SEED to place order for 1000 new limousines”. “Scottish/Latvian Teachers’ Action Group formed. Attendance at initial meeting exceeds 200”. Indeed. It's worse than I thought. A limousine-borne invasion of Scottish-Latvian teachers is poised just offshore as we speak.

Revision as of 00:45, 13 October 2008

The Women's road time trial at the 2008 Summer Olympics took place on August 13 at the Urban Road Cycling Course. Of the 25 women competing in the event, the medal hopefuls included Karin Thürig (Switzerland), Judith Arndt and Hanka Kupfernagel (Germany), Marianne Vos (Netherlands), Christiane Soeder (Austria), and road race gold medalist Nicole Cooke (Great Britain). [1]

Cyclists started at two-minute intervals on the course, which was 23.5 km (14.6 miles) in length. They competed against the clock rather than in a direct race against the cyclists.[2]

Kristin Armstrong of the USA won the event in under 35 minutes, finishing 24.29 seconds ahead of Emma Pooley of Great Britain. Armstrong's average speed was 40.445 km/h (25.1 mph). [1]
