Is this lucozade advert really notable enough to comprise most of the lead section? Clavdia chauchat (talk) 21:07, 18 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

I've removed it. It is not notable and is a distraction from the article. --RA (talk) 14:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Can we say... edit

Katie's all but a goddess in Ireland this afternoon? Legend. Future Taoiseach. Future President of Ireland. Rarely has somebody received so much goodwill from the entire population. 79.97.154.238 (talk) 16:41, 9 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Queen of our hearts. Princess royal. Everybody bow to Lady Taylor. Or, as Marty Morrissey would say, the recession is over, and -- Bill O'Herlihy -- it's like Italia '90 all over again. Oh yeah, and we're all trippin' over ourselves in the streets trying to dance a jig while stuffed with spuds and Guinness, as they say in Oz and the USA.

How about a picture? edit

hi guys, does anyone know how to add a picture to the page? i'd imaging she's getting lots of traffic since winning the gold yesterday... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.78.9.70 (talk) 15:18, 10 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello, any image uploaded would need to comply with Wikipedia:Image use policy. If you have your own image of her or have located an image that complies with the policy, but do not have an account, you could take it to Wikipedia:Files for upload and ask them to upload for you over there. See Wikipedia:Help desk if you need further assistance. --86.40.101.83 (talk) 20:27, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Picture??? edit

Someone should put up a picture since she is the olympic champion now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.116.10 (talk) 20:56, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Head over to Bray next week with your camera. I'm sure she would oblige. :D --86.40.101.83 (talk) 22:43, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello - I'm not really sure how this page works, but I saw someone has put some of my Flickr photos of Katie on the Files_for_upload page, but there's a message saying they had non-commercial (nc) and no-derivatives (nd) licence, so couldn't be uploaded. I've now changed this, and removed them. I don't know if they'll now be uploaded automatically or if someone needs to retry. Thanks! Cormac. --217.207.145.188 (talk) 13:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks very much Cormac, I took the liberty of uploading a couple. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 18:51, 16 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I uploaded the rest of the photos from the FFU request. For reference, here are links to all of them (including those already uploaded):

Her Father is English edit

This should be on her Wiki.109.154.11.122 (talk) 01:36, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have no immediate opinion if her father should be described as English, but there should be an 'Early life' section. RashersTierney (talk) 01:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Seeing as her father is English, I think it should be said, seeing as every notable British person with Irish ancestry has to be listed. it's only fair. NO excuses.86.156.57.62 (talk) 02:40, 23 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

External links modified edit

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

Achievements in the leading section edit

Hi (User talk:Bring back Daz Sampson)! I'm sorry but I have little time today. I'm trying to make logical changes. Men and women compete separately, why put them together in these articles. For example: does anyone put together, in related articles, the number of FIFA world championships won by the Brazil men's football team and the US women's football team?... That's why no organization or serious expert speaks and writes about the achievements of men and women at the same time. Besides, there are no links to reliable articles with such lists.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 08:02, 7 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Everybody that has ever watched or competed in a physical, competitive sport, knows that men and women do not compete together, there is no confusion. The list states "in boxing history", as a whole. Whether male and female compete together or not, they're still participants in the same sport. No reference links are needed. The achievements are stated throughout the individual boxer's pages with relevant references for all to see. It's boxing history, it's factual information.

It doesn't matter if someone saw it or not, it's about the rules. You didn't answer the question. Why we don't create such lists in other sports as I wrote, for example in football. Because this is not logical..., it's incomparable! Squared.Circle.Boxing (talk) 12:54, 11 August 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.206.218.53 (talk) Reply

Firstly, the men's national Brazil team have won more FIFA World Cups than the US women's team, so that's a bad comparison. Secondly, how many World Cups have been won in the history of football? Becoming a four-belt, undisputed boxing champion is a much rarer achievement than a team winning a World Cup. Hence why it's worthy of mentioning the few that have achieved it.
