Kitesurfing stats[edit]
Hello and welcome to wikipedia.
in Kitesurfing#Statistics, it's necessary to add only reliable sources : forums or personnal pages aren't verifiable and so shouldn't be put there, even if they are true. Also, please note that I take time to add the credible reports you add in the Reports of casualties section. Use the Template:Cite_Web whenever possible. Wikipedia should be neutral and please try to avoid bias and stick to sourced facts.
I followed every link you added and as noted in the edit description, cleaned them, deleted duplicates, removed forums or obituaries as unreliable, kept journalistic sources. I put them in the cite web template, and summarized the BSMJ october 2003 to April 2004 South African SAR campaign. I even let the very difficult to back up claim of 126 deaths in the last 10 years with [citation needed] because it seems in the order of magnitude, but for what part of the world?
More bitter wikipedians would have reverted your edits without seeing them. I understand you find kitesurfing dangerous, as I do, but remember to be credible to add your elements in the article otherwise they will be dismissed. Discuss your future edits in the Talk Page before next time.
Thanks. --Marc Lacoste (talk) 23:14, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
