Ruth Wanjiru

[edit]

Ruth Wanjiru, second right, in number 2

  • ... that Ruth Wanjiru's (pictured in yellow) personal marathon best of 2:27:38 puts her 12 minutes and 13 seconds behind the fastest ever marathon time?
  • Comment: Not a self nom; hopefully a logoless picture will be cropped from the first

Created by Sillyfolkboy (talk). Nominated by Matty.007 (talk) at 13:47, 26 October 2013 (UTC).

Sorry, the formatting went wrong. I (Matty.007) formatted nominated this, but Sillyfolkboy created the article and fixed layout issues here. Thanks, Matty.007 19:30, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Also, I have added a cropped picture which is probably preferable to use, this one instead of this one. Thanks, Matty.007 12:25, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

    I cannot see the basis for this hook in the article. The personal best time is there but not, as far as I can see, the record time. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:53, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
    • OK, how about this: Matty.007 18:51, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Alt 1: ... that Ruth Wanjiru (pictured) achieved third place in the 2012 Ottawa Marathon despite returning from a two year absence?

  • This article is new enough and long enough. The image is correctly licensed and the Alt1 hook properly sourced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:08, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review (and adding 'Pictured', that can evade me sometimes). Thanks, Matty.007 19:09, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
