Ok, so I don't understand credulous reporting of press releases counts as e evidence she actually did the runs, despite her never presenting any evidence that she did so there is no third party confirmation, only puff pieces. When asked for evidence on social media she just block's people. She has gone on to claim a second record, for treadmill running, which was rejected by Guiness because her main witness was not independent. Do I really have to get a newspaper to publish that she refuses to provide any evidence for a claim made 3 years ago before this gets anywhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.137.110 (talk) 21:09, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
Sorry, but clearly they do, These were not observed Marathon races, and Amy herself says she didn't record them on Strava or any other gps device so there is literally nothing any reporter could have checked to verify the claims, all they have is taking her at her word.82.132.224.14 (talk) 15:56, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Doug Weller talk 16:04, 23 October 2017 (UTC)- Seriously, Joseph? I am going to venture a guess: your next block for a personal attack on TRM is going to be indefinite Drmies (talk) 16:24, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- I'm sure it was all a bit of fun, and fueled by the result yesterday, eh Joseph? Just a simple apology should be fine, and I'll personally request you be unblocked. But I would still pay heed to Drmies' note above. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:04, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- The Rambling Man Yes it was intended as a joke from the East Anglian derby yesterday. Although it was obviously ill-advised, especially given that it would likely be interpreted as a personal attack. I apologise for any offence caused. If admins want me blocked for 3 days for it, then so be it. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:09, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- Doug Weller, while it wasn't the funniest joke in the world, what Joseph was attempting was banter in regard to to his team beating my team (again) yesterday. We all know that I'm an awesome contributor and keep churning out featured material, so it had to be ironic. In any case, as the recipient of the perceived harassment, I'd like to politely request that you unblock Joseph, but that Joseph should keep Drmies' advice in mind in the future, any more of this and an indef block can be expected. Joseph, instead, why not post something funny on my talk page, like a gif of Delia asking "where are you?" or maybe Bryan Gunn making an airshot clearance from an Ullathorne backpass? Ahh, the good ol' days. (P.S. One UEFA Cup, one FA Cup, one League title, two England managers.... and you?!) The Rambling Man (talk) 18:15, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- Ipswich Town, always living in the past. Stuck in the Championship for 16 years. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:17, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- Well, at least we have a history. What did you win lately?! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:21, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- The Rambling Man Thanks for the request, and I agree that Drmies' advice must be heeded. Doug Weller talk 18:30, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- The Rambling Man, that is kind of you. Joseph, now you know what I have learned too: humor doesn't always come across on the internet easily. Drmies (talk) 22:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:
As highlighted above, the post for which I was blocked was intended as a joke about the East Anglian derby. I apologise for any offence caused, but there was no malicious intent behind this. Joseph2302 (talk) 7:14 pm, Today (UTC+1)
Accept reason:
TRM says it wasn't meant as an insult and gives the context, so unblocking. Doug Weller talk 18:26, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you Doug Weller and The Rambling Man. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:30, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
