message: Just watched a program on BBC1 titled "You can't fire me, I'm famous!" which examined Linford's fall from grace. In it he commented that his deal with Puma was not withdrawn, but actually was due to run out at the time the press reported it's withdrawal. He even stated that he still has a 'good relationship' with puma and still does work for them. 
Don't know how to cite this referring to net sources (wikinoob) but it seems an important change to the article.--Harveymuso 22:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can't find a clear reference. All the original media sources are carefully worded - they don't say 'cancelled' or 'withdrawn', but 'not continued' or 'ended', which can just as easily mean 'run out'. The fact that it wasn't renewed may have been significant, or it may not - it can't be expanded upon without becoming speculative. Mauls 21:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Linford1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Linford1.jpg

message: It is often reported that Linford Christie made the quote, and in truth he did, but (I am sure, and I will try to find citations) his quote came after consulting Colin Jackson (the 110m World Record Holder) on how he could improve his start, and "Colin told [me] to go on the B of the Bang".

thread_title:  "B of the Bang" quote 

message: There seems to be a key oversight in this article: 
that is that Linford Christie's break-through race was the 1986 European Indoor Championships (March 86) at which he was the surprise winner of the 200m. Indeed there is no coverage at all of his many outstanding indoor performances subsequent to that.
I am not a Wikipedia poster but suggest anyone wishing to amend the article accordingly start by visiting the following site: http://athleticssuperstars.tripod.com/Linford_Christie.htm  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.30.76.3 (talk) 10:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
