Paula Radcliffe is not only a good sportsman but have a good personality which makes her herself. Paula is both extrovert and introvert, this is supported by the Trait Theory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrispenfold16 ( talk • contribs) 10:07, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
I've reverted a couple of "Many people thought that what was disappointing was..." edits about the 2004 Olympics. Regardless of how they're dressed up, they're still not NPOV. -- Mpk 16:06, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
I would like someone to clarify what happened with the bathroom break thing during the 2005 London Marathon. It is a confusing issue to me.
I am sorry Mpk, I thought my edit summary was enough without necessitating a discussion on the talk page. Phrases like 'most informed commentators would think...' or similar are, to my mind, the very definition of weasel words. I wonder if most athletes world-wide (rather than just her UK friends and colleagues) really would support her actions. I wonder if, had she been American or Australian, her compatriots would have supported her at all. I am mindful of a similar case involving an Australian rower who gave up during a race and was subsequently villified. Are foreigners therefore not informed commentators? Nevertheless, since neither you nor I can possibly a) canvass enough opinions to know viewpoints for sure; b) define objectively who is and who isn't an informed commentator, then it really is a moot point. Can we agree by consensus what would be a decent compromise wording? I must confess, I thought my previous edit was OK in this regard, but I will go along with the majority.

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.

...in order to give an overview of her sports career, not an analysis of her marathon world record. GregorB 17:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand how the intro author figured the marathon time is comparable with the world record at 100m. He states her time of 2h15m25s over a distance of 42195 meters breaks down to 9.75 - 9.76 per 100m. However, that's a total of 8125 seconds over the marathon distance, or about 19.25 seconds per 100m. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.207.101.112 ( talk) 10:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
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)

Not sure about the Marathon section. There's no indication in the World Marathon Majors article that they actually give out medals in these events. Pawnkingthree ( talk) 16:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
the link in the list of achievments for grand prix final links to some ice skating thing that im pretty sure paula radcliffe didnt come 3rd in 82.3.127.57 ( talk) 22:49, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
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)
The references and formatting of references are a mess. -- BweeB ( talk) 00:25, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

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)
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)
Can anyone explain to me, why this article has become a redirect of Gary Lough? Piet.Wijker ( talk) 21:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
