I was browsing around Wikipedia as I sometimes do and decided to do a search on BASE jumping. This may be one of the best "external" discussions of BASE jumping that I've seen.

Enjoy!

Anyone know who contributed to that entry? Whoever it is did an excellent job.

looks like the pen/keyboard of Nick DG???

I got the feeling that this was originally written by Nick Di Giovanni after I embarassed myself by complaing about the inaccuracy ot the written accounts of our original jump off the rock.
He didn't actually identify himself as the writer, but indicated that I may have been a little harsh in my complaints, since there was little information available at the time. Sorry about that Nick

Nope.

Nick writes in the present tense, and even without that, it doesn't have his stylistic stamp.

Most of the entries in the history are IP logged only, so unless someone confesses it's going to be hard to tell. That said, the originator of the article is from the UK and two of the biggest contributors are from Canada and Australia. There are also later contributions by a USian or three or more, but the bulk of the work seems to have been done by persons with funny accents.

Now where's Ivan when we need him?

didnt think Faber could speak English or write it for that matter

No, I didn't write that. Some of the thoughts and phrases are mine but the words are put together differently enough that I think they used some of my stuff for research. That's cool . . .

There's no doubt that your stuff was used. One of the links at the bottom of the page is to your base history page at Basic Research.
