Instagram is deleted as well. This bully is in serious trouble.
Jesus, what a debacle. Just admit to bad judgement, apologize to the athletes and sponsors, typical mea culpa type stuff, and move on. No need to nuke the platforms that actually generate your income, at least indirectly. The internet mob was justified in exposing this, but you don't have to let them ultimately win if you don't want to.
Needs a lot of explaining and i will be emailing lululemon asking them their own thoughts so its not brushed under the carpet, until she makes a proper statement
Lol. I love how LRC "hates" cancel culture until they get a chance to cancel someone. Then they are just like everyone else.
At the end of the day removing "fluff" from "competitors" wiki pages is pretty gross. However the posters here are more mad about this than 8 more Kenyan dopers being banned or Shelby returning to competition. Maybe time to get some perspective.
Let’s not state the obvious. How tf has she never heard of a vpn? If you’re going to do shady or unethical things cover your a$.
Still have not seen evidence of anything nefarious. Someone post exact language that was changed on Wikipedia?
All the edits are linked and viewable earlier in the thread but to give you an example, she deleted entire sections from Killian and Courtney's wikipedia pages calling them 'puffery', presumably because they referenced winning the 'prestigious' races of UTMB, Western States, etc. And then you can see on her own page where she has literally added the words 'prestigious' and 'legendary' as adjectives for her own (in my opinion less legendary and prestigious) race wins. Wacky stuff.
Right. That doesn’t actually show the verbiage that was changed.
You're either being wilfully obtuse or mindbogglingly lazy. The post says you click on the 'diff' button for each edit and you can see the exact changes- they're even highlighted.
Put down the pitchforks for a minute. I've been digging into this article and the Wikipedia links it includes. While I've never been into editing Wikipedia myself, just looking at at this reminds me of posting on LetsRun. The rules and moderation of those rules are all subjective. Wikipedia has never been a completely reliable source of information for this exact reason. I thought that was common sense.
...
What you are missing is that Wikipedia is not LetsRun so that is a faulty comparison to start your whole post. Wikipedia is a crowd-sourced repository of information on people (in this case) on a single page that is supposed to be as objective as possible. LetsRun is a "freewheeling" message board (to be kind) that traffics in opinions and argument across threads and posts.
For Wikipedia, it is ridiculous for a competitor to go in and edit the bios of their competitors unless it is demonstrably wrong (e.g., won something they didn't, record they don't hold). To go in and delete superlatives from competitors and then put those superlatives or similar on your own page is wrong. It is not a case of unclear moderation rules as you say.

Since you see it - post the nefarious part. I don’t see anything that can’t be classified as someone updating their biography.
This is what happens when ultrarunning has become a cesspool of positivity and acceptance.
Someone should have stopped her long ago, before she went completely off the rails with this incident.
But since ultrarunning is all about "positivity and inclusivity"(TM), telling her the cold hard truth would be racist/sexist/ableist and would get you cancelled.

Are you for real? I literally already provided an example in comment #203
Everyone is a little bit narcissistic, but she seems to fit a good number of these ONLY based on what I've read in articles, interviews I've watched of hers over the years and yes, this includes the recent controversy. Note that since the mods are apparently deleting threads where people accuse her of having this, I am not saying she does. As my wife (who has a doctorate in Psychology (PsyD) and who works in the field with military veterans every day would tell you, this has to be diagnosed in a clinical setting.
This mental disorder includes an unreasonably high sense of importance, a need for excessive admiration, fragile self-esteem, and troubled relationships.
