• Colour should not be used in isolation to highlight information - you need to use it in conjunction with a symbol such as † -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:00, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ChrisTheDude: It isn't being used in isolation; the "Notes" column provides a written indicator of the same thing. Harrias ^talk 15:02, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's a very good point :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:41, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• "35 men and 30 women have won the open division of the New York City Marathon, while 9 men and 7 women have won the wheelchair division, representing 22 different countries in all" - I think this could do with a re-write, as it kinda reads like the 16 wheelchair winners somehow represented 22 countries
  • Ha, good point. I've rephrased this, and moved the bit from the end of the third paragraph up to the end of the first as they went together anyway. Harrias ^talk 14:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "There were 127 entrants, of whom 55 finished – the only female starter, Nina Kuscsik, withdrew partway due to illness." - source for all of this?
  • This is all covered by ref #7 "2019 Media Guide, p. 122." Harrias ^talk 14:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "found the course was short" => "found that the course was short"
  • Changed as suggested. Harrias ^talk 14:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "A wheelchair race has been held since 2000, when 72 people finished" - source for the number of finishers?
  • Added. Harrias ^talk 14:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "Paula Radcliffe, winner of the 2004, 2007 & 2008 New York City Marathons." => "Paula Radcliffe, winner of the 2004, 2007 and 2008 New York City Marathons."
  • Fixed. Harrias ^talk 14:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:50, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ChrisTheDude: Thanks as always. Responses above. Harrias ^talk 14:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Maybe I'm missing it but I'm not clearly seeing " since 2013, every race except one has had over 50,000 finishers" sourced in ref [1]. No mention of 2013 in there at all..
  • Yeah, looks like I lost a reference there. Added. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "it has started in Staten Island and raced " something a bit odd about this, shouldn't it be "it has started in Staten Island and has been raced"
  • Changed to "the course has started in Staten Island and goes through each of the city's five boroughs", how is that? Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "cancelled" should be "canceled" per ENGVAR.
  • Eugh, American. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• " in 2012, due to" not sure the comma is needed.
  • Sure, removed. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "won the Marathon the most" no need to capitalise it unless you're going to call it "won the New York Marathon the most"
  • Removed capitalisation. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• " race, in a" again not seeing a major need for a comma.
  • Yup, removed. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Could link Marathon world record progression?
  • Linked. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• I'm just thinking on the first use of a time, i.e. 2:31:38, you could spell it out "two hours, 31 minutes, 38 second (2:31:38)" just for absolute clarity.
  • The MOS is perfectly happy with this format, I'm not convinced we need to spell it out, but if you insist, I'm not that bothered. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Use the same links for the same people, e.g. Rodgers is piped to both "athlete" and "runner".
  • Hopefully sorted now. Hopefully. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "Gary Muhrcke, winner of..." fragment, no full stop. Check the others.
  • I've taken all the full stops away. This is probably also wrong. I hate image captions, and half of there weren't even mine! Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would just write them all as sentences and then you know a full stop is always needed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 07:08, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "Adriana Fernandez" is missing a diacritic.
  • Added. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• No wheelchair times were world records?
  • It seems to be complicated because of all the different categories. I haven't found anything definitive. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• "Manuela Schar " umlaut.
  • Added. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Runners World is Runner's World.
  • Sorted. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• "won the wheelchair division" this wasn't inaugurated in 1970...
• Back to "while 9 men and 7 women have won the wheelchair division" I think this should be moved to the final para in the lead where you introduce the wheelchair event.
  • Moved these two to the bottom, as they go together, and I need to mull on them a bit further. Harrias ^talk 21:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Okay, I've left these where they are, but rephrased it slightly. I think it works best together as a summary, rather than split up, which would also get the article back to the situation that Chris raised above, where the nationalities sentence is awkward to find a home for. How do you think it works like this? Harrias ^talk 07:27, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:42, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Cheers, I have tried something for the last couple now. Harrias ^talk 07:27, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Do you mean how it was laid out? (One small loop, and four big laps.) This might be too much detail for this list. If you mean the actual distance, being a marathon it was the same length. Harrias ^talk 07:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• In that case, never mind. I recall that Central Park has less than 26 miles of running trails, so any marathon would have to traverse it multiple times. You are right, it is too much detail. epicgenius (talk) 13:57, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Also, should we link five boroughs to Boroughs of New York City?

• Done. Harrias ^talk 07:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I think it would be appropriate to clarify that Sandy occurred less than a week before the marathon was supposed to take place. But this is not required.

• Added, how's that? Harrias ^talk 07:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Americans have won the marathon the most, doing so on 32 occasions; Kenyans have won 26 times, and Norwegians 10 times - a semicolon should be placed after "26 times" since this is a serial list with the semicolon as the separator.

• Yup, done. Harrias ^talk 07:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• sub-3 hour marathon - would this be "sub-3-hour"?

• Indeed, done. Harrias ^talk 07:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• between 1978 and 1980.[10] In 1981, - sounds weird to have years in two separate sentences being situated back-to-back.

• Rephrased slightly. Harrias ^talk 07:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Anh Nguyen Thi Xuan - any diacritics?

• Not that I can find in any of the sources. Harrias ^talk 07:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weird. Vietnamese names have tones usually, but they are very complex. Not a big deal. epicgenius (talk) 13:57, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah; I think it's probably mostly down to how people used the internet in 2000. I've looked about in Vietnamese sources, but that's a rabbit hole. "Nguyễn Thị Xuân Ánh" looks common, but in all honesty I couldn't say with certainty that it's definitely the same person. Harrias ^talk 14:27, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
