Talk:New York City Marathon

message: I've removed several links from the "External links" section, which were largely to charity organizations which use the Marathon as a fund-raising conduit. I'm all in favor of charities, but I removed the links because I don't think they offer readers any more information about the NYCM. If anyone has a better argument for keeping/including those links, please post; otherwise I will continue removing them when they appear. - Pjmorse 20:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: yay, and when can we remove the sponsorship logos? in essence it's making wikipedia an advertising platform, as sponsors could be mentioned without incluing graphical images of their logos at the top of the page. And if you walk around NYC talking about the "tata marathon," people will think you are talking about the Mermaid Parade 69.201.168.196 (talk) 13:06, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Youngest runner? 

message: This un-referenced sentence really grates: "The New York Maraton is considerd by most professional runners as being the most testing and superior marathon in the world and vastly superior to London by quite some way." It doesn't help that the spelling's pretty awful. Without a quote from several professional runners it just looks like it's been added by someone who either either irrationally loves New York or dislikes London.

message: This seems like a vanity link.   A 4 hour marathon isn't remotely extraordinary for someone 50 years old.  (80 year old Ed Whitlock ran a 3:25) Lwiniarski (talk) 23:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! I just wanted to mention that. I am going to remove that, if his fanboys will let me. I can understand that so many people believe that someone at 50 years old can't be that fast/strong/etc.. But that's just because most 50 years olds have not done any sports for 30 years or more and are a little to heavily overweight. But there are many 50 years old that run faster marathon times than most 20 years olds (besides the fact that most 20 years olds wouldn't even be able to finish a marathon in less than 5 hours). --78.54.19.247 (talk) 15:31, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Just noticed that the page is protected so that nobody would try to remove the Mark Messier statement. Hopefully someone who can will remove it. Just some times from http://www.mastersathletics.net from other races: Gavin Stevens (Age Group 50-54): 2:32:14; Ed Whitlock (Age Group 75-79): 3:04:53. Ed Whitlock was at least 25 years older than Messier when he ran that time and he still finished about 1:10h faster! Just to add some perspective. --78.54.19.247 (talk) 15:44, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  2012 New York City Marathon 

message: I fail to see the relevance of listing the top American runners. Neither the Berlin nor the London marathon page mentions the host countries' top finishers. Peculiar that this only started in the 2003 marathon section, when Kenyan runners won; although the dominance of east African runners started in 1997 for the men and 2009 for the women, not that this seems to merit a mention, except in passing.
