When I first saw this page, I immediately thought that it looked not unlike a vanity page, or at least something you would see in a "career highlights" page at a personal or promotional website. Now, to be clear, I don't think it's a vanity page, it's just very detailed on the results, perhaps unnecessarily so, and has no sources. It also tends to be somewhat POV. -- Scorpion 0422 22:55, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Well, now that this page has been subjected to one person's interpretation of wikipedia's guidelines, this entry is entirely unreadable as opposed to its original format which allowed the reader to quickly reference the three major speed skating competitions (world cups, world championships, olympics) without wading through a poorly organized, poorly presented "history". It seems we've replaced the concept of an encyclopedia entry with that of a miserable high school history paper.
Yet, somehow links to videos of races (which might interest users given their historical significance, no?) and detailed summaries of racing results are eliminated. Length in unreadable prose is approved, yet length for detailed results and links to videos is not. I wonder how that seems to accomplish the goal of informing readers, of becoming an easily readable, highly informative encyclopedia entry. Quite the opposite of vanity, a word "Scorpion" is clearly having trouble grasping.
Yes, I spent two years creating a "terrible article" which no one complained about until it was replaced within days of Nesbitt's gold medal by a self-appointed editor with an even shittier one; stylistically and in regards to information. Congratulations on following the wikipedia guidelines, "Krazytea." You're another fine example of independent thought and creativity in action.
