thread_title:  WikiProject class rating

message: It is stated in the article, "The headmaster Donald Woodman and PE teacher Kenneth McClelland introduced her to athletics with Mr McClelland her first coach."
Our memory (my wife Marian and I) as Portadown College alumni is that Kenneth McClelland had been a pupil there but not a teacher. Mary's career had already started to take off while she (and we) were at Portadown College. According to http://www.turtlebunbury.com/interviews/interviews_ireland/sporting%20legends/interviews_sports_mary_peters.html Kenneth McClelland was a PE trainer. We agree about the encourgaement given her by Donald Woodman. Mike Spathaky (talk) 22:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

text: Oppose Not sure that this is the natural disambiguator, most people who know of her will know her as an athlete, not everybody will know that she was later awarded a title.  Also, is Dame or Lady the better title in this context? PatGallacher (talk) 15:09, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Lady is the better title as it is above Dame in the order of precedence (she was appointed first a Dame and then a Lady of the Garter). Oxonwiki (talk) 18:55, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
