Talk:Hicham El Guerrouj

message: In the Morceli entry, there is no mention of a collision playing a factor in the race. What is considered to have happened? Is there any controversy? Smoove K 07:29, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I have uploaded an AFP photo [] under what I believe to be fair use policy.  
Free licensed material was not immediately available for basic semblance of biography subject. Material was thus sought which "significantly improves the article it is included on," rather than being presented only for the purpose of estabishing subject's appearance.  The photograph so found—i.e., the subject's victory in his extended pursuit of an Olympic gold medal—is, while copyrighted, a clear asset to subject's biographical article, and additionally provides a simple establishment of subject's appearance.  
This photograph must not be construed to "replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Indeed, at 324x220, this photograph is low resolution.  Moreover, the photograph, in its apotheosis of El Guerrouj's perhaps crowning achievement, should only increase a given reader's interest in El Guerrouj, in Olympic middle-distance running, and in historic athletic events overall.  It is inevitable, then, that such increased interest should lead to increased viewership of news agency photographs, not excluding AFP.

message: The article states that El Guerrouj almost broke his own WR in the mile in 2001 with a time of 3:26:12. Since his WR stands at 3:43:13, it may have been meant to be entered as 3:46:12 or even 3:44:12. Does anyone know what time he ran? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.224.160.159 (talk) 21:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it states that he almost broke his 1500m record, which was 3:26:00. The time is correct. 143.252.80.100 14:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Somebody has mistakenly believed that El Guerrouj's world record for the one mile is 3:43.12. To prove that it is 3:43.13, I invoke the IAAF source here: . The IAAF is the ruling body for track and field and whatever they say is official. For example, even if somebody were to run the mile in 3:41 right now, it is not considered the world record until the IAAF declares it so. Mipchunk 23:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Hicham El Guerrouj's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
