[edit]

I'm not familiar with this format. I hope the reference for the table has proper placement. If not, editorial assistance would be welcomed. Activist (talk) 16:25, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Activist: Hey this is really fantastic, thanks so much for creating it! There's no set guideline for the tables, I can see you used my style haha. I wrote a little program last week that auto-generates an article template with competition and medal tables based on stats from Tilastopaja here, you're free to use it if you want. I've seen @GoOKC had made some really impressive tables like at Magdalyn_Ewen#NCAA lately, I wonder if there's a tool they use for that. Would be great to collaborate and improve a lot of these articles! --Habst (talk) 01:15, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment appropriate?

Height and Weight

[edit]

In June, 2019, after televised comments about her appearance in the 2018 and 2019 NCAA championships, Ostrander objected to characterizations of her diminutive size and ostensible childlike appearance, she said that her listed height and weight, though taken from a normally RS, are incorrect. I removed those and her coach's name from the infobox since she has graduated from Boise State and joined the Brooks Beasts team. Activist (talk) 22:52, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting deletion

[edit]

@Habst:, @Whisperjanes: I created this page six years ago and, regarding what you have characterized as "puffery," included her academic and athletic credentials at the time and have followed them since. They are noted and sourced in the "Personal" section. She's a 4-point plus student as noted by regional and national reporters, carried a heavy academic load, and despite the considerable time spent in training, graduated in 3 1/2 years. In high school, she was a multi-sport athlete and has been setting records in difficult and well known open competition since well before she graduated high school. Though I've never met her, I've followed her running career for eight years and was glad to see her stop running the annual Mt. Marathon race where the course is notoriously difficult and quite dangerous (raising the possibility of career-ending injury) and where she had beaten all the boys in the junior age group. She also became nationally well known for her well-founded objection to the negative characterization of her appearance (and by extension, that of others) by female reporters, them commenting upon it as she was a repeat winner of the NCAA steeplechase championship. They apologized for having made such inappropriate comments. Her article has gotten over 70,000 page views in the last three years and over 6,000 views in the past week. No other reader or editor has complained about its content. I'm going to revert your deletion. Please take it to Talk if you disagree. Thank you. Activist (talk) 18:49, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
