Talk:Mark Allen (triathlete)

_ _ So what is being covered up about '94? 2nd? Failed to finish? Injured & couldn't compete? _ _ Year of marriage? (I inferred still married; is that so?) Nationality? --Jerzy•t 16:43, 2005 August 20 (UTC)

Whoever simply cut/pasted from markallenonline is being intellectually lazy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.37.188 (talk) 18:16, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

subject to debate
"...No triathlete has gained the recognition or success that Mark Allen has...." is debatable. Some would argue Paula Newby-Fraser or Dave Scott. I'm just conversing here a bit...if one Googles "most successful triathlete" you get hits for Simon Lessing, Vanessa Fernandes, Emma Carney ...Googling "most famous triathlete" returns hits on Dave Scott...guess I'd petition for the qualifier "arguably" to be added. --Billymac00 (talk) 04:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

This page reads like marketing, not reference. Triathlete Mark Allen _should_ have a page, but it needs to be referential, not reverential. Please rewrite this article, or be prepared to have others do it for you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.213.217.230 (talk) 22:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

unreferenced/notability
I have replaced the "notability" tag with "unreferenced". There is no doubt about his notability - he is mentioned in plenty of books and articles. I could improve this article, but I have other priorities at the moment. I hope someone else will improve it, he deserves a quality article. --NSH001 (talk) 20:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Ironman results
surely he had other than 1st place finishes? table should include the rest ...--Billymac00 (talk) 03:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:


 * http://www.markallenonline.com
 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist
