[edit] References

Most of the awards listed here are verified by this ANC website. I do not think it is too much to ask that new entries should be backed by references. We should also strive to find references for the recent awards. A more stringient stance towards unreferenced additions is warranted, or we'll soon end up with a tangled web. --Ezeu 05:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sandcastle award at Brighton Beach, Little Timmy Taylor, aged 6 came second

Is anybody watching this page? This piece of vandalism sat here for about 24 days before I removed it. It claimed Mandela had won a 'best sandcastle' award for his sandcastle at Brighton beach, and that a 6 year-old called 'Timmy Taylor' had won 2nd prize. It strikes me as odd that a retired 70 year old from South Africa won a sandcastle-building award in England, beating a 6 year-old. A simple google revealed no such event ever took place. A simple google for "Timmy Taylor" and "Nelson Mandela" proves this was a complete fabrication.
My point is, I'm adding this to my watchlist.
