Talk:Ben Ainslie

Unreliable source
it says Ben was 9 when he started sailing but on his own website it says 8 and He dosnt have a gf if he did he would have congratulated her on her achievement at London 2012 in his speech or on his website,twitter etc don't you think.

This proves he's single I'm just pointing it out Type in Ben ainslie gf and an article from september 2011 says he's single 88.104.135.120 (talk) 19:21, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

He also went to Southampton Solent university to do a degree in doctor honorary in sport according to his official website The about Ben part of his glad to see my edits havnt been reverted site.88.104.135.120 (talk) 10:02, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

It was recently announced on twitter that Ben is engaged to Georgie Thompson. I will try to find the tweet and correct the article AKTheKnight (talk) 14:45, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Ben Ainslie Racing
I created a new section, Ben Ainslie Racing. This seems to be both a clear shift in his career, and will involve a combination of both business and sail racing in the run-up to the next America's Cup. At some point in time it might make a new article, but at present it seems the best way of containing within an article which requires both better references and better sectioning all the relevant information. Secondly, much as though Ben Ainslie Racing's current stated purpose is the next America's Cup, there is probably a time line beyond that, and other projects. So hence, much as though it could be broken out at some time into its own article - possibly when a headline sponsor is announced for the America's Cup - I suggest that for present let it develop and brew where it is.

Wiki custom and practice?
I've noticed on other wiki pages where a word (e.g. "London") might have a separate entry, the custom is to hyperlink to that page on only the first mention of the word. I notice here, especially in the competitions entered section, several of the referenced events, are repeatedly hyperlinked to the same landing page. Just my thoughts, but I think I understand the reason for only hyperlinking once, as it saves you referencing the same landing page multiple times.

However, I haven't checked every apparently duplicated link, which raises the possibility that another seemingly apparent link, might actually be to a different page from the previous highlighted link. Therefore can the OP review the apparently duplicated links and revert them to standard text where they are duplicated please.46.7.85.68 (talk) 09:18, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
