Boston marathon
User Arthur Rubin seems to have a personal thing against including the 1967 Boston marathon bib number of Kathrine Switzer, and has repeatedly reverted edits which included it. This is an article about random facts of a number, there is hardly any reason why a historical fact could be considered "unimportant" or worse "insignificant" [sic] as said in the edits. IMHO seems very misogynist, but in even without considering that, it is obviously not justified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miguelsxvi (talk • contribs) 18:48, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * We no longer have guidelines, other than WP:NOTINFINITE but it is very insignificant. It's also misplaced on the page, if it were to be included.  Needs to be a level 4 or deeper header, and under "Miscellaneous".  It's also not sourced.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 02:10, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Apparently, the relevant guideline is WP:NUM. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 02:19, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * ... and it's sufficiently included with the organization 261 Fearless. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:04, 5 March 2022 (UTC)


 * 1. I am still waiting to know in what metric this fact is insignificant in comparison to any of the other things listed. 2. If the problem was the hierarchy on the page, maybe that would be a better edit than just reverting. 3. I would say that the guidelines included in WP:NUM#Numbers_in_sports are not exhaustive. 4. You are right, I completely overlooked that it was included there, maybe that is sufficient for an article on the number, and more information could be added elsewhere.

Piccadilly 261 Radio
I suggest a reference is added to Piccadilly Radio that used to broadcast on the 261 metre frequency, originally located in Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, UK. One of its former names was Piccadilly 261. Note apparently the radio station's 261 window stickers were in some scenes of Back to the Future, as a neighbouring property in the shots was owned by someone from Manchester that was a fan of this particular radio station. 213.33.68.50 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:13, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
