The Goldeneye World Record Database
Well, you're probably wondering what this is. Actually, the first idea was to be able to recreate the WR table at any date, and this is the actual biggest feature, which you can do here (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/). Of course, it was impossible to recreate the complete rankings because this would imply knowing every PR of anyone in the elite, and finding WR was hard enough. But I added the rankings based on the number of records instead, and the ability of displaying a list of WRs for each level.
I'd like here to thank Come for the support, especially with some boards names I didn't know (now the only one left is Deku Sprout Is Back if I'm not mistaken), and also for supplying me with a set of old WRs I didn't have.
The future of this base is not well defined, but any suggestion here would be welcome. I don't say I'm gonna spend much time on it soon, but I'll probably have some time this summer for it. For example, I thought I could include Boss' pages (see here (http://www.geocities.com/bbosshardt007/GE_Longest_Standing_WRs/) for the longest lasting records, and there (http://www.geocities.com/bbosshardt007/GE_Untied_Data/) for some untied date) with the same kind of thing for the date, or automate the computation of some statistics.
The big advantage is that updating is limited to enter the new WRs for all the pages. See for instance here (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/forcome.php) for the kind of page we can make.
Please, keep in mind that this is an alpha version. Actually, there may be some mistakes on some dates/times. Also I noticed that some WR were missing due to the fact they were never posted in the WR topic (For example Wouter, there aren't your Caverns SA 1'23 and your Caverns A 1'03; Jared Kirkness' Depot Agent 26 is also missing, etc.); so please, if you find a mistake or know the date of a missing time, post it here so that I can correct/add it...
Concerning the dates, the rankings are based on when the records were set, when the dates were available (otherwise, I took the date of the post). I also considered (and entered) the dates when they were posted, but it seems that it's not very useful after all...(so for instance, both dates are actually in the base, but I may delete the "post" date in the future).
So yeah, making this was kinda boring since the main task consisted in entering all the WRs in the base, but the good part was to read the complete descriptions of the runs, since at the time it was still a habit to do so. I also found funny posts: for example, Bosshardt getting Dam A 53 in 45 minutes and Depot A 27 in 1 hour, (as well as two other records), and then editing his post to tie a Peter's untied the day it was done
But the one I found the most funny of all was Wouter getting Bunker 1 Agent 17. When I read that, I couldn't agree more
Here is the post:
Bunker 1 Agent 0:17
FINALLY!!!!!! no more 18s whoa!!!! this took like 2 full weeks, what a relief at last!!!
good riddance to all the 18s which would have gotten in the wr topic otherwise!
Also I didn't know that at the beginning, so many people were reluctant to believe in Wouter's times.
This topic (http://p075.ezboard.com/New-Worlds-Best-GE-Player/fperfectdarkelitefrm19.showMessage?topicID=16.topic) is funny and quite representative.
(Wes and Tim's posts make us so smile today
)Very last thing, the first time I saw the rankings, they were as of the 06/17/04, so now you can understand why I'm in the "BBWJ forever" team
I hope you'll enjoy, Elite

a clicked the 2nd validate button and got a list with most current wrs high in the list
then somewhere down I found
1:15* Bunker 2 00 Agent - Randy Buikema
1:14* Bunker 2 00 Agent - Greg Lavery
but 1:15 can't have been a wr when it already was 1:14
anyways this seems nice
is this that project you did for school as well?as for my dates, I've kept track since 26 February 1999.
Find either GoldenEye-Process.htm for all PRs or GoldenEye-Dates.htm for current PRs only.

Oh and unfortunately not for a school project...now there shouldn't be anymore
Bryan, unfortunately I don't have a saved copy of these rankings...the only thing I remember, is that at that time, there were only 9 WRs you didn't have, and for each of them you were one second behind
Besides, I checked all the dates you put with the ones in the base, and corrected the few mistakes (especially at the beginning, and also for the 1-day delay with the post that happened sometimes).
Wouter, I haven't checked all your dates yet, just added the main missing, but I'll do that soon
Also, a few things more:
- Goose, you posted twice your Caverns Agent 1'03. Once on page 20 of the WR topic page 6 (2005-12-11) and once on the current WR topic, page 5 (2006-11-22). Which one should we keep?
- Randy made a big whoard that he released on the 28th January 2002. For most times, I had to take this date, but for Cradle SA 38 and Cradle 00 39, Wouter had someway "known" before, since he posted these times the 2001-12-27; Wouter, does it remind you something?
- Finally, on the sheet Come sent me, there were some WRs with a missing date. I couldn't take them, but as some people may know some dates, I'm gonna list them here. I suppose it's only a few part of what is missing at these early ages (most of them are Wes' times), but having that would be better than nothing:

On May 16, 2000, these people had Dam A 0:55 already:
Sterling Neblett
Steven Zwartjes
Graeme Faulds
Wes McKinney
Mike Martin
And the Dam SA record was 1:24 held by Sterling and Graeme.
And the Dam 00A record was 2:14 held by Sterling.
Between Jun 16, 2000 and April 16, 2001, these guys also got 0:55 for Dam A:
Patrick Wessels
Matthijs ten Ham
Eise Smit
Garrett Sellati
Tim Greneby
Craig Makepeace
Karl Jobst
Chris Rayola
Michael Coe
Greg Woll
Harvey Manhood
Damien Coe
Greg Lavery
Peter Osterland
...but I guess you already knew that.
Harv got 0:54 for Dam A after June 9, 2001, but before August 1, 2001. You probably knew that too.
On May 28, 2000, Eise Smit still had the mark on Surface 1 A with 1:07 untied. Wes still had 1:08 then, so his record is newer. He and Sterling tied for the Su1 SA record of 1:57 at that time, though. Sterling also held the 00A record of 1:57 then.
I don't know about the others you need, but I do have more infos sitting around. I don't know how far back you plan on going.
Also Quentin, while you're here, did you beat 1:30:00 in GE Total Time in December 2005, or January 2006? I need it for the Club RARE page, you see.
Post here if you get any useful info that might help me make that page more accurate! Especially in the pre-t-e.n era.
Post by: Ngamer on May 08, 2007, 10:34:00 pm
The one addition I wish we had would be to post a link directly to a specific page. Say for instance I thought the rankings from the day I turned 18 were really cool, and wanted to show them to somebody. So I'd just toss out a link to
quentin.meunier.free.fr/g...&year=2002 (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/rankings.php?day=11&month=2&year=2002)
and anyone clicking it would be taken right there. Similiar to how I've set it up so if you want to show how a Contest matchup would go, you can put up a link like
thengamer.com/xstats/elit...year2=2006 (http://thengamer.com/xstats/elite/?&name1=Goose&year1=2006&name2=Mgay&year2=2006)
Not a huge deal or anything, but I think it'd make a handy addition. In any case, great work with this SA, as I've said before.

Andrew, thank you for your precisions. Indeed, I have this kind of information through some WR pages done by Wes that Come sent me. Unfortunately, I can't really enter this information in the base...
Oh, and I was gonna forget your question...hmm...as I didn't keep trace of any of my records, I really can't say when I did go under the 1:30 mark...I'd be tempted to say december 2005, but nothing is less sure...
Btw, what is this page and how do you know it happened in one of these two months?
And Jon...I thought it would be better to use the "POST" method (just cleaner), but after all you're probably right, direct links can be useful. I just changed it, so tell me if you encounter some problems. Note that the variables names are still in French right now...
Post by: Ngamer on May 10, 2007, 01:47:00 am
"If you'd like to show this page for this date to a friend, you can link them to
quentin.meunier.free.fr/g...nnee=2007" (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/rankings.php?date_mois=05&date_jour=01&date_annee=2007)
That should cover us well in both cases.
PS - Would you like for me to help you re-write the text on the pages to make then easier to read for English-speakers? To not discriminate, maybe we should even have two "versions" of the page both looking at the same database- one written entirely in French, and this one I'd help you do over in English.
Post by: Vulpex on May 10, 2007, 11:04:00 pm
It's linked from the main page but here's another link (http://www.geocities.com/vulpex_007/ClubRARE.html). I updated it this week with some useful info about a few GE players I got from Bryan's saved pages (thanks Bryan! ).This page lists players who have beaten 1:30:00 in GE, and players who have beaten 2:00:00 in PD. PD was quite easy to compile because until 2004 Jon kept accurate infos on the 2 Hour Club. GE was very difficult to compile because I wanted to match the accuracy of the PD list. Even now GE is far from accurate for the early entrants (except Wouter who kept a log). You're there too, but without a definite month, you'll notice. So I thought I'd ask you directly.
How did I know you passed 1:30:00 in those two months? By my l337 sk1llz of course.
Um, the progress since August last year I've kept a careful eye on, but from before then I need to be resourceful. Google helps me, and also knowing the URLs of many of the old pre-elite pages is quite useful, as they can be plugged into TWM to hopefully return a cache from the appropriate period. So I found some caches from around those two months and found you above 1:30:00 on one and below 1:30:00 on another. Simple as that. There are still alot of holes in 2001 though.

Andrew, fine work there! Indeed I didn't know this page and had never noticed it
Good job Also, it reminded me that I have been a goldeneye player, thing that I'm forgetting these times
Jimbo, I checked your times. There were 3 lacking and one mistake on a date indeed...that's corrected now.
And Mouser...Yes, I remember this post, but...don't blame me, I thought it was something that someone had randomly posted (there are at least one or two other Depot Agent 26 that ended up being "fakes", usually they are "post 1" etc.). Now I will remember this board name of "M1ster Jay", that's for sure!

I think the only thing that could improve the site now would be if were able to track records back to before 2000. But for that we'd need some help from Wes... Maybe I'll get him involved here in the future.

Actually, I'm not against the idea of making the base accessible to other people if they have good ideas about some stuff they can do. The problem of making it directly "downloadable" is that it would require to recreate the archive after each modification (to my knowledge). Also, this would create some problems inherent with data duplication. So I think the very best would be to have only one base and different stuffs looking at/using it, what would imply moving it from my site, unless you want me to host your pages...(because of password/other bases issues etc.). I think we will have time to talk about it, but before copying it in any way, I'd like to finish some things, especially checking all Wouter's records (I've begun but not finished).
Post by: silver angel on May 13, 2007, 06:59:00 am
Otherwise, I see no objection as I said
Very last thing, I don't know if I understood well what you said, but that's not as if I were a "programmer" people abused of (I don't consider myself as a "programmer" neither, but that's not the point here
)...it's more like doing php is a kind of hobby sometimes, and if I have time for it this summer, I'll be happy to use it on creating cool pages. I mean, I know my limits as well.

Mrsooreams (what's your real name btw?
), indeed that would be a solution to authorize only read, via "GRANT SELECT", but I searched and it seems like it's not possible to do so on this host (there is no user-management), plus I also read that it is impossible to connect to the base from a server which is not hosted at "free.fr". That's a pity, but in the mean time, we can't blame them since they provide us for each user 10 GB of space for the DB+pages/files without ad. So yeah maybe we'll have to move it on thengamer or elsewhere (I pay for a server with Nojdo which provides Databases with user management).Edit: Made it! You now have a link on the first page in order to see the "rankings" in terms of number of WRs on different levels.
Some notes:
* I didn't take into consideration the possibility of entering a date, since I thought it was irrelevant here, the most interesting being today.
* I linked the levels on the main page since there was also no real deal there, but did so in order to keep the original design.
* Actually I hesitated between putting the links for players directly on the table (as it is now) or in the rankings below where all the names are as well. The drawbacks of doing as it is now is that the generated pages are far heavier since there are many more links.
* I still haven't done anything concerning the "total number of WRs", but I'm thinking of it...
* In order to improve this page, I guess it would be better to change some parts of the text to explain what is happening (header, but also for the rankings below). I will probably give it a try soon...
* If you are too lazy to find the link, the new page is located here (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/alltimerecords.php)

gewrs/rankings.php?player=Bryan Bosshardt
This page would display all of the records Bryan has set or tied, dated and with the most recent on top. And times that are STILL WRs to this day would be listed in bold.
And the headline on top could read
"Bryan Bosshardt's World Records
Bryan Bosshardt has set a total of 143 WRs.
37 are still WRs today."
I know that some top players already have pages like this on their websites, but they're largely outdated, and this would be neat in that everyone who's ever tied a record (since '01) would be rewarded with their own page that they could link to.
EDIT - I've mailed Wes regarding this project. Hopefully with his help we'll be able to start taking the database back to pre-2001.

l34ss l3oost (1:44:03 PM): still one time missing from that but ims ure one day that will be fixed
Im Ngamer (1:44:14 PM): which one?
l34ss l3oost (1:44:28 PM): Facility 00 agent. It was missing off The DB the first time i viewed it
Im Ngamer (1:44:48 PM): know what date you got it?
l34ss l3oost (1:46:39 PM): i recon it would be within a few days before 11.16.05
Im Ngamer (1:47:37 PM): and the record at that time was...
l34ss l3oost (1:47:47 PM): 57
SA's got a new page working, but I'll let him post about it later tonight.
Post by: silver angel on May 20, 2007, 07:18:00 am
So, thanks for the suggestions and the correction Ngamer and Alex. About this time, I once noticed it was missing but forgot to note it and post it here, so that's cool it's finally corrected. For the date, I entered 11.16.05, hopes this is ok.
Post by: silver angel on May 20, 2007, 03:52:00 pm
So, the end of the message:
Concerning the changes, I modified the existing "player" page so that it's more accurate as Jon proposed, and linked it from every rankings. I also added the possibility of choosing a particular player when displaying the list of WR between two dates, and finally added a page with rankings based on the total number of WRs set for each player (though it might not be accurate at all for old school players).
As always, suggestions and corrections are welcome
Edit: Update! After Goose's remark about the barriers, I decided to give it a try. The new page is available here :
quentin.meunier.free.fr/g...cutter.php (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/timecutter.php)
(I might as well add the same thing for Agent, SA and 00 only, I don't know yet...)
Hope you'll enjoy
Edit2: You'd do a good tester Wouter, thanks

Was posted in the wr topic and is listed on his process.
Wouter Jansen - Bunker I A - 0:18
Was set a whole long time ago (25-6-1999), but the exact date is listed in his process, so it should be added.
Guillherme Alberto posted dates for his unwhoard.
Egypt SA 0:47 > march 28, 2007

Caverns A - 1:03 25-2-2007
Archives A - 0:16 14-3-2007
EDIT
Wouter's Caverns 00A 1:44 needs an asterisk, since it was untied. Was going to include it in this post already, but forgot about it.
EDIT 2
The dates for some selections also needs to be set to the date the oldest record in the database was achieved, Wouter's Bunker I A 0:18. For example on the main page for the list of wr's set from/between a date(s).
Post by: silver angel on June 21, 2007, 06:45:00 pm
Or was it just the nostalgia?
As for saved pages, I just have the Wes pages that Come gave me, but they are pretty old. I've nothing where the rankings look the same as now.
Matthijs, thanks a lot. I don't know how you do to get all these brazilians dates, but that's cool. And Caverns 1'44 was a mistake yup. Plus, I changed the selections as you mentionned for the list of WRs, but not for the WR table, since as of January 1st 2001, it's pretty empty already.
I'm currently working on an adaptation of Boss' pages, the first should soon be available
Post by: Matthijs Triep on June 21, 2007, 06:57:00 pm
It's good that you say you're going through Boss's process. The next two things I was planning to do was to go through Wouter's and Boss's processes to see if there are mistakes. What have you done sofar from those two processes? I wouldn't mind helping you.
Post by: silver angel on June 21, 2007, 07:21:00 pm
For Wouter, I checked for all the WRs that were in the base if the dates were correct and corrected them as well. The difference is that I may have missed some WRs for Wouter (which he didn't post) since in his process are listed all his PRs and I just focused on the WRs. Maybe some things can then be improved, i.e. check if some of his times were not WRs by comparison with the WRs at the time.
However, this can lead to difficult questions, especially because we have to deal with "believed and on the rankings" WRs against "real" WRs. I encountered such a problem, when I entered a Tim's WR on Frigate, whereas Wouter's time was actually already lower, but not on the ranks. I asked Ngamer and he told me he thought it would be better to let as WR the ones "displayed at this time".
This is a true debate, but at least we could check and add the times of Wouter that didn't beat the record in place.
If you're willing to do that, that's of course welcome! You can also talk to me on aim if you have some questions (sn: silver angel 797)
Post by: SimThreat on June 22, 2007, 06:02:00 am
train sa 1:48 which was untied when i got it from way back in 2000 and surface 1 agent 1:06 which was untied when i got it.
I also tied 1:10 and 1:11 on frigate sa when they were wr's. And also I had bunker 1 agent 18. Also facility agent 49 when it was a wr. And dam sa 1:20 when it was a wr.

Post by: silver angel on October 28, 2007, 04:25:00 am
The changes include:
- a modified page of the longest standing records, especially with now a table of the top 10 longest standing records ever at the selected date, that you can see at:
quentin.meunier.free.fr/g...anding.php (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/longeststanding.php) (selects the date of the last WR by default)
- the corresponding page for longest lasting untied WRs, accessible here:
quentin.meunier.free.fr/g...untied.php (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/longeststandinguntied.php) (selects the date of the last WR by default too)
- for this page, the corresponding page with the breakdowns on all levels.
For the two first pages, you can select the date of view from the index page.
Also, note the following:
the page for the longest standing untied World Records generates very heavy requests (with "WHERE xxx=(SELECT(min) ...)"), and is very long to load. I did my best to optimize some things, but couldn't get to something working fine and fast.
I still think this is possible to speed up the loading time by lowering the number of requests, and I'll try it when I have some time.
But the consequence is that if things stay as they are, I may not let this page dynamic, and create fixed html pages at some dates instead.
That being said, I hope you enjoy these new features

Right now, there is no way to see removed times, tough I might do something about this later. Still, there won't be any good solution, as I am convinced you got 3'58, but the same way I'm convinced Zwartjes 1'31 was fake; therefore, I must follow the rules of the-elite for considering times valid.
By the way, I did a WR update and a site update (mainly navigation, plus a few other things), and asked Derek to put the pages on the elite when he has time, so the old links will no longer be valid (the site will link to the new pages when this is done).
I don't have much time for dealing with this kind of things right now, unfortunately (only WR updates from time to time I guess).

That would be great if each of you could check his times! (and report potential errors)
A few notes:
- David or Rayan, can you confirm who untied the times Facility 00A 53 and Surface 2 A 48? (For now it's David)
- Also, from now on, can you say when a time has been done using 2.X? Right now it has been pretty obvious, but in the future it might not always be... I'm not gonna do my Simon Sternis, but I want to enter this information in the base, so as to display it in the future (and, to tell the truth, I enter them to follow the times accepted on the rankings, but still find it a bit weird to play with 2 controllers and a rubber band or whatever)
Anyway, good job guys!
PS: Boss, I'll try to think of it at a favorable time one of these day...!

Post by: silver angel on July 07, 2010, 04:30:00 am
David: I don't doubt a single second you got this time earlier, but this would cause a couple of problems: first, this would mean that for one year or so, the rankings would not reflect what really was up on the ranks at that time. Second, it would mean I can have to face the situation in which someone gets a time and claims having got it way earlier; what if I don't trust this person? I have to stick with the official rules not to rely on my feelings. Third, it would take off an untied to Ace with an unproven time. The only solution I see atm is to add a new kind of times ("unproven and achieved proven later"), and display them only in the personal player page with notice. Still, I would have to face the problem of trusting or not the claim. Might do this later, I don't know.
Rayan: These times are missing because you got a better time on the same day. As the granularity of viewing is the day, they are useless fom some rankings, but I can understand you them to be displayed on the different lists (and your WR page). I cannot add them right now, because I'm not sure how it would affect the different pages, but I'll try to support it the next time I update the sources.
Vitor: Thanks for noticing it. Your hypothesis is correct: I checked and Santos posted his 56 the 29th. I think I'll fix it by shifting his record to the 29, otherwise I have to remove Ace's 57.

I didn't have time to do the few corrections tonight, but I'm taking care of that this week-end.
Matt: I'll think of it.
Ace: ok, gonna solve this at least.
Ng: I knew I didn't do it by chance, tought I didn't remember it!
Alex and David: Keep in mind that it will change a lot of things, like who broke the barriers, etc. Now, if everyone agrees that this time should go up, I am ok with this. Still, I need more opinions (including Rayan's one) before making the change.
Last thing, I noticed several weird things in the kind of what Vitor noticed. If anyone can help, this is welcome, since I don't know if it's due to an error of mine or to the fact that Randy (among others) liked to whoard times, sometimes resulting in uncool stuff (even though the base contains both the dates of achievement and publication - the dates curently seen are achievement dates). Besides, I think I cannot have access to some orginal topics anymore (those from the old period), what doesn't help. So yeah, basically, in absence of more information, I'll remove the times which are causing troubles (after re-checking the posts for the most recent records).

| 1:31* | Henrik Norgren (2006-02-07) |
| 1:41 | Rayan I. (2006-02-07) |
| 1:33* | Henrik Norgren (2006-02-06) |
Cradle 00A:
| 0:44 | Randy Buikema (2001-04-17) |
| 0:43* | Wouter Jansen (2001-04-14) |
Edit: Rayan, actually, the "key" in the WR table of my database is (player,level,difficulty,date), so it might not be so easy to add your missing WRs.

Alright, I did some checks:
Frigate SA: Bryan posted his 1:03 on the 17th december, but the correction was made later that he got the time on the 28th of October, so "technically" Wouter didn't get a WR there.
Train SA: Henrik posted like 5 records on the 8th including the 1:31, but the same day (and before), Rayan posted 1:41 (obtained the day before), so same thing here Rayan didn't get a WR if we consider real time achievements and not posts.
Cradle: by checking the publication dates, I saw that the same kind of things happened.
Surface 2: no clue there...
I have added a kind of "outdated" tag, so that these records eventually don't appear on the ranks, but still appear on the player's pages with notice. It's not yet taken into account though.
Last thing, following Matt's suggestion, I have looked how to generate images on-the-fly, and have added a little new feature. Example here:
http://quentin.meunier.fr...=07&date_jour_fin=06 (http://quentin.meunier.free.fr/gewrs/recordlevel.php?level=2&date_annee_fin=2010&date_mois_fin=07&date_jour_fin=06)
Hope you'll like it!

Just a small note to say that the base now manages the two earlier mentioned types of times.
The next step now is to be able to deal with several WR on the same day, from the same player and on the same level.
I don't know when I'll be able to do that, but since I'm almost done with my PhD (writing part), I may have time to give it a go quite soon.

The GE world record database is the most successful thing ever in the GE elite (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fsmile.gif&hash=1adea417e08e9042f9ce1a5426616bf29f2ca20e)

I do have some problems with people posting times and claiming they got it earlier. It allows abuse: for example, there's nothing stopping someone from posting a time and claiming to have gotten it earlier, to spite someone who "had" the WR before.
I have similar problems with the opposite issue: people posting times and proving it much later. For example, say someone sees that another player is consistently failing an untied WR and probably will get it soon - they could post it and claim to have it untaped, then some time in the future get it, therefore preventing the other person from ever having an untied. If you don't have proof for a time, it shoudn't count until it is duped, in my opinion.
This also has the added bonus that the WR database would reflect the actual ranks, with the proof policy we have today (I know things were different in Bryan's time as champ).

My point is that we don't need to wait for someone to abuse the rules before changing them to prevent such abuse. It would also make it much easier for SA since there will be no need to make case-by-case decisions on what to put in the WR DB.

Other than that, thanks everyone for the comments. I'm glad I could finally find a way to contribute to the community, even though I'll never get a WR (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fwink.gif&hash=4979046fbfc7ed25a03644bf608e503c4aa73f0f)

I'm glad to announce that everyone's favourite eliter, Greg Woll, has spent many hours recently going through old threads searching for WR of the 2000-2001 era. An announcement which will delight old school players like the King of pop, Ngamer. Greg even confided to me yesterday that he was far from done helping out. In his task, he has already added more than 250 records to the database. Thanks Greg!
Also, I have added a support for seeing two pages (rankings and allrecords) based on the dates of records publication (i.e. when posted on the boards or added on the ranks).
One last thing, I noticed several differences between the current records on the elite and those in the base:
Are missing:
- Cliff Hampton Runway SA 23
- James Taylor Runway SA 23 (Who's that? Why the "GL" initials?)
- Jose Tavares Runway SA 23
- Taka Runway SA 23
- Shawn Johnson Runway SA 23
Have apparently been removed:
- Greg Larkin Runway SA 23
- Josh Heuer Runway SA 23
- Tyler *%!%!*+ Runway SA 23
Also, Cliff's Archives A 16 was missing but Greg found the date by chance.
Thanks to the authors of the missing times for providing a date of achievement. For removed times, with absence of more information, I will assume a ban due to proof reasons.

"I contacted Wes on Monday, asking about what types of information he has retained from the old days. He responded back a couple days later, and told me that he managed to save his entire inbox from 99/00 on! Since there was no common forum or meeting place for the top GE players back then, everything was e-mailed to Wes. This should be huge for the database. He also said he backed up some rankings from back then as well, which should also fill in some holes. I told him to go ahead and send all of that over when possible. Hopefully he'll send it over soon! I have been searching for records anytime I get bored lately, and before tonight, I was starting to slump and not find much that I had missed. Wes' information should give me as much activity as ever."
Thanks to him!

Hell yeah

The following UNTIED WRs are missing on the database:
Henrik Norgren - Train Secret Agent 1:36 - achieved Feb 5, 2006 (improved to 1:34 the same day)
Ilari Pekkala - Aztec 00 Agent 1:52 - achieved March 19, 2006 (improved to 1:50 the same day)
both Henrik and Illu can verify these WRs if necessary.

As for Surface, the untied flag was never set on Marc's 1:48, so that apparently was preventing it from being recognized as the achieved record on that page.
Anyway, these are all fixed. Let me know if you find any other issues. Quentin's a little harder to reach these days, but he's still always open to suggestions.

The Longest Standing WRs issue is an interesting one though, surely due to those WRs being achieved the same day. I've contacted Quentin about it, as he is still the only person that is able to modify the logic behind these pages.
