  1. I've been using Wikipedia for a while and I have noticed that there
    isn't a proper article for Kris Holm. It is still a "stub".
    I don't really know too much about him other than talk on the forums
    and his website.
    So this is basically a call out to anyone that knows more about him to
    edit his Wiki.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_Holm

    Also, I would encourage you to add or properly edit articles on ny
    other notable unicyclist.
    (Also, sorry if this is in the wrong catagory)

  2. I have no insider info. Yet perhaps you could gleen facts from vids to
    make a huge improvement on the wiki info. A noble endeavor that would
    advance uni knowledge a bunch IMHO.

  5. I just checked out the edit page.

    The way Wiki is edited isn't the most simple process, or I would add
    one of those personal information box things. You know, with the
    persons name on top, then a picture, and a bunch of info about them.

    That would be great if you could do that.

    Anyone who has acurate knowledge of KH please post on this forum.
    Also, JF, if you could fill us in with some of your details that would
    be great. Man, I would really be honored in being able to watch my own
    Wiki beng created.
    Maybe some day...

  13. No disrespect for Kris, but is anyone in the unicycling world notable
    enough to have a Wikipedia page? I don't feel that anyone in
    unicycling or bike trials or similar activities are notable enough to
    have a Wikipedia page.

    I'm too lazy to dig through the mess that is the Wikipedia standards,
    but somewhere in there is a description of what it means to be notable
    enough for inclusion in Wikipedia.

    Even the unicycle article needs to be properly edited. I read it and I
    some things being repeated three times. Most unicyling links from that
    article need to be fixed up more. These articles partially represent us
    unicyclists on the internet and if we want them to accuratly represent
    us and our chosen sport, we need to edit the posts as a community.

    ISTR the notability standards being fairly loose. Kris has a fair
    amount of media coverage - online and in conventional publications. I
    think that alone is probably enough to cover notability.

    I say YES!!!

    Kris definately deserves a good description, as well as George Peck,
    and possibly JF, John Drumond, and Rogger Davies (sp?).

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

  18. OK folks. I've added a couple more section headings but details need to
    be filled in.

    Anyone who's editing the article please make sure you've read the
    Wikipedia guidelines regarding what you're allowed to contribute.
    Basically, stuff that you wrote yourself (not copied from other places)
    is OK, as long as you agree to the terms under which they want it
    licensed. Same for images which you upload.

    Don't be shy about editing though - get in there and contribute stuff.
    Don't be offended if somebody change what you've written, though,
    they're probably just trying to help.

    A nice thing to add would be some picks of Kris Holm unicycles. So,
    guys, anyone here own a KH? If you can get a nice picture of the uni
    and upload it, it'd add a splash of colour to the article!

    I dunno if that would work with this article. If you want to do that
    then you might want to create an article on "Kris Holm Unicycles".
