Spotted on TV
Jason Lewis was shown on a recently aired episode of 'Long Way Down' featuring Ewan Mcgregor and Charlie Boorman. They met up in the Sahara Desert.
It also turns out that Ewan donated $2000 to Jason to help him around the world. http://www.snitch.com/2007/06/17/ewan-mcgregor-helps-cyclist/ 62.31.207.26 (talk) 20:02, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

- << Annotation: Summary of story: July 1994 Jason Lewis departed on his voyage. In America he was run over by a car and almost had his leg amputated. He then used a pedal boat to traverse the ocean. Expedition 360 cost more than 400'000$. He took on various jobs and raises the issue of carbon footprint. >>

Merge proposal
Expedition 360 and Jason Lewis (adventurer) have pretty much the same content. Why not merge them? Rawr 05:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that as they stand the articles are very similar, but I would also hope that further expansion of each article would begin to differentiate them. I don't doubt that Lewis will go on to do other things of note, and that Expedition 360 will continue in its educational role. There is also the fact that Expedition 360 covers many more people than Lewis himself, including those who joined him on various legs of the journey, not least the man who started it off in the first place, Steve Smith. However, someone with greater knowledge should share their view here; I'm just a bystander who has taken an interest. --Coconino 09:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is a good criteria, but there are no books written by or on Jason Lewis. Nevertheless Coconino raise a good point which can be supported by other sources of information. This link for exemple has much information on Mr. Lewis. Reliable sourcing... well.. I did use zoominfo for Paciocco. Anyways, that's my cut on the thing. I'dd say the focus here needs to be on him and not the expedition. Hence, a proportionate amount of text should only be used to describe lightly the expedition and reference to the main article. --FR Soliloquy 04:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- Disagree--Deserves it's own article but needs to be developed.--72.186.91.47 (talk) 05:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
