Well, obviously this is a proper name, just google it. This is one example:

the main table of times on the wikipedia page should lists world-record times that have been confirmed by guinness.

below it, you then have a seperate table that lists unofficial times - those pending guinness approval, or those that were done as a charity event and people weren't bothered about getting a record time even though that may be what they had done!

e.g. when Neil & I (and the four others in my team on that day) did the Tube Relief in August of 2005, we beat out 18:35.43 record time, but i never mentioned it or listed it, because it wasn't an official attempt.

anyway - can someone clarify for me:

is the 17:12.43 the currently approved Guinness World Record time?

are there people that have claimed to have done it faster that are still just waiting for approval from Guinness?
Yes 17h 12m 43s is the current record to beat

2 times are probably awaiting Guinness approval Bouncingtigger attempt 17h 12m 18s
and somebody called Tim roberts and Martha Jackson 17h 11m 05s but no one knows whom they are and havent made themselves known.

I got to admit i have done my mistakes on wikipedia especially wiv the tables but i have been amending wrong information.I amended the main records page of the time by Tim Roberts and Martha Jackson because whomever adriensq is put the wrong time of 17h 12m 18s and a link which stated link to certificate be added shortly now if this were true surely the right time would have gone on.? which is Jay,s time whether he gets it confirmed or not he is happy to have it rest as a provisional until a certificate comes through.Personally i think he made the mistake of not submitting it straight away enough evidence or not! which might give him some problems keep us updated Jay (bouncingtigger)

Also if this 17h11m05s time is genuine and im not saying its not!Then why was the evidence not submitted to Guinness well in advance of dec 4th and dec 14th successful attempts if such Guinness Ratification exists and only a certficate picture would prove that now as anybody,s claim number would prove the following Morning March 10th record Steve Karahan and Andi James 17h 12m 43s late evening the claim changed to the current 16h 44m 16s that either proves the following claim was submitted well later than ours was put in just before new years day or it wasnt particalary good evidence hence Jay post as well he was worried about the evidence he gathered.
