Home > Media Coverage

Let's clean up the old media coverage page into something more readable and consistant with source formating styles.

The list of Endorsements and Listings on the old page have been given their own pages on this wiki site.

Suggestion (by User:Nsayers): Local media coverage should be moved to the Ride Location pages to which they refer. See Talk:Media coverage for discussion.

Formatting citations as follows is better, as it allows them to be sorted by source more easily (allowing duplicates to be more easily spotted):

• [Source site], Date (eg: 30 Jan 2006): "[Quote]"
