Help !!
I have been trying to get "Dock Jumping" reconized in Wikipedia but because of their very strict rules I have been unsucessful.
here is what they said..."To repost the article, you're going to need to supply reliable independent sources (the websites you cited are not independent) showing that this sport has been recognized as notable." NawlinWiki (talk) 23:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gd8man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gd8man)"

But the websites I Have LINKED were Dock dogs, Splashdogs,.ultimateairdogs, and alot of clubs.
Thanks you can get a hold of me at info@vbroom.com (info@vbroom.com)

What you need to do is find news stories on it. Dock dogs and spalsh dogs are not reputable sources. Find stuff on espn and vs and link to that. In the eyes of wikipedia this is a made up sport, so you need news stories from good sources.

Side note: in doing this search for you, Crash and I pop as search number 31 for dock diving :)
