Talk:World Marathon Majors

Catherine
Catherine also got a 2nd at this year's Olympics, right? Shouldn't that be added to her WMM list? Runner456 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Funding
Who pays for the prize money? -- Beland (talk) 12:37, 19 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, details, details... Why the specific questions? Stevenmitchell (talk) 15:07, 1 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Apparently, it is an entirely anonymous website maintained by an unknown and unnamed organization, with no known address or contact information, or any specific persons having any responsibility for the organization. The money that is given is apparently done so through anonymous donors at an anonymous ceremony at an undisclosed location somewhere in the world (presumably on Earth). It is quite unusual for a professional website to deliberately and intentionally not disclose any ownership of the site or organization at all. Is it the intention of the organization owner to deceive visitors? Stevenmitchell (talk) 01:03, 2 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I've always assumed it was the race organisers and IAAF that jointly funded this competition. It would be good to get confirmation of that. The ownership of the website by "World Marathon Majors" is clear in the terms and conditions, so it's not a massive mystery – it's quite common for funding of a private enterprise not to be published. Indeed, that is one of the benefits of being a private company over being a publicly-traded one. SFB 10:26, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Leaderboards
It appears excessive to include so many athletes. The article length is getting very long without providing much additional information. I suggest creating one table with just the winners:

Series (years) | Men (name, country, points) | Women (name, country, points)

The full tables could be moved to a separate article, if it is believed there is value in retaining the information.

Coherent First Paragraph?
Can someone please rewrite the article's first paragraph so that it is more coherent for the reader/consumer? Stevenmitchell (talk) 15:07, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
