Talk:Paula Radcliffe

message: While I am sure Isla is a beautiful baby, I'm not sure her health, precise hour and minute of birth, and birth weight are relevant to an encyclopedia article, especially as she is not yet (at least in the eyes of the public) the most notable thing to have issued from Paula Radcliffe's nether regions during her career.

replies: text: It was done using IAAF Scoring Tables (see http://www.iaaf.org/news/newsId=20021,printer.html), not by directly comparing running speed, of course. GregorB 11:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intro needs a rewrite... 

message: Intro is better now, although I still think this marathon world record thing should be analyzed in the body of the article... GregorB 20:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, Where do you think the paragraph would be best suited?  btw, I had a go at changing the layout, but not 100% sure about it, is it easier to read through now? Sue Wallace 04:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I guess that would be the 2003 London Marathon section... I was thinking about tweaking the intro myself (as I did recently on the Haile Gebreselassie article), but I'm a bit less familiar with her career. Note that Haile's intro had a similar problem: it pushed a single fact to the front, while failing to give a more complete career overview. GregorB 19:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good neat article.  I've moved the paragraph, but article still needs a lot of work.  I'm not familiar with her career either tbh, I only really wanted to add cites originally, because that's my bugbear. Sue Wallace 22:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Looking at the editing history of the Paula Radcliffe page, I noticed that when Philadelphia 2009 deleted the part about Radcliffe's toilet break during the London 2005 marathon as "irrelevant info", Montell 74 reinstated it, commenting: "irrelevant?... interesting i think". Yes, interesting to those with a genuine interest in athletics - but far more to those whose interest in athletics doesn't go far beyond the "funny outtakes" type of television programme. The link is to a website for those who voted it as more important than Bannister's four-minute mile. Should the Wikipedia page, as it does, give it twice as much space as any other episode in Radcliffe's career? I'd be inclined to delete. Any other opinions? --Mabzilla (talk) 12:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request on 18 March 2012 

message: Under the "Further world records" section it says "Of the seven marathons Radcliffe has run so far, she has won six and set a record in five." It should say "Of the seven marathons Radcliffe had run up to that point, she had won six and set a record in five." 176.27.237.184 (talk) 20:50, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit request: Further world records 

message: The recent addition on doping allegations will need to be checked carefully, with more refs added. I think in particular you will need to find the precise section of the evidence session it was said in. Given this only happened yesterday it may be a while, but you will almost certainly want to link to the UK Parliament site with that sentence. The wording at present I think perhaps stretches what the apparent quote says. I suspect he was mentioning British athletes as it was a Parliamentary session. Politicians use this kind of wording in almost every context. Jkmaskell (talk) 08:08, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Gary Lough is not notable enough for his own article, but he is mentioned in the "personal life" section of this article. That is the reason for the redirect.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 14:19, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Poor old Gary. Reach a world final and coach someone to a world record and your legacy is just a redirect! Sorted now. SFB 21:45, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
