Orphaned references in Motor-paced racing edit

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Motor-paced racing's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "record":

  • From List of cycling records: Kragen, Pam (September 17, 2018). "San Diego woman officially the fastest bicyclist on Earth". San Diego Union Tribune.
  • From Denise Mueller-Korenek: Kragen, Pam (September 17, 2018). "San Diego woman officially the fastest bicyclist on Earth". San Diego Union Tribune. Retrieved September 21, 2018.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 21:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hey, New Record Here!? edit

Page just needs to be updated because I'm pretty sure todays news is referring to this type of racing and it reads like this (attached) story has those new records, but it's pretty much being covered everywhere since I just seen it on my local news. Here's the Cycling Magazine version and am sorry if this gets fixed and my comments are not ever deleted here, too:( Story@ https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/great-britains-neil-campbell-breaks-mens-cycling-land-speed-record-434907 THANK-YOU!!!

Origins Of Pacing edit

Hi all. WRT the origins of pacing, it actually predates the advent of tandems and other multi-manned machines and was in use in the days of the Ordinary. See, for instance, the detail here on the last Hour record to be set on a high wheeler, for which pacers were used. FMK RoI (talk) 19:27, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
