Talk:Katie Taylor

Lead

Is this lucozade advert really notable enough to comprise most of the lead section? Clavdia chauchat (talk) 21:07, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I've removed it. It is not notable and is a distraction from the article. --RA (talk) 14:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

How about a picture?

hi guys, does anyone know how to add a picture to the page? i'd imaging she's getting lots of traffic since winning the gold yesterday... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.78.9.70 (talk) 15:18, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello, any image uploaded would need to comply with Wikipedia:Image use policy. If you have your own image of her or have located an image that complies with the policy, but do not have an account, you could take it to Wikipedia:Files for upload and ask them to upload for you over there. See Wikipedia:Help desk if you need further assistance. --86.40.101.83 (talk) 20:27, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Picture???

Someone should put up a picture since she is the olympic champion now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.116.10 (talk) 20:56, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Head over to Bray next week with your camera. I'm sure she would oblige. :D --86.40.101.83 (talk) 22:43, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello - I'm not really sure how this page works, but I saw someone has put some of my Flickr photos of Katie on the Files_for_upload page, but there's a message saying they had non-commercial (nc) and no-derivatives (nd) licence, so couldn't be uploaded. I've now changed this, and removed them. I don't know if they'll now be uploaded automatically or if someone needs to retry. Thanks! Cormac. --217.207.145.188 (talk) 13:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks very much Cormac, I took the liberty of uploading a couple. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 18:51, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Her Father is English

This should be on her Wiki.109.154.11.122 (talk) 01:36, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I have no immediate opinion if her father should be described as English, but there should be an 'Early life' section. RashersTierney (talk) 01:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Seeing as her father is English, I think it should be said, seeing as every notable British person with Irish ancestry has to be listed. it's only fair. NO excuses.86.156.57.62 (talk) 02:40, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

Achievements in the leading section

Hi (User talk:Bring back Daz Sampson)! I'm sorry but I have little time today. I'm trying to make logical changes. Men and women compete separately, why put them together in these articles. For example: does anyone put together, in related articles, the number of FIFA world championships won by the Brazil men's football team and the US women's football team?... That's why no organization or serious expert speaks and writes about the achievements of men and women at the same time. Besides, there are no links to reliable articles with such lists.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 08:02, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Everybody that has ever watched or competed in a physical, competitive sport, knows that men and women do not compete together, there is no confusion. The list states "in boxing history", as a whole. Whether male and female compete together or not, they're still participants in the same sport. No reference links are needed. The achievements are stated throughout the individual boxer's pages with relevant references for all to see. It's boxing history, it's factual information. Squared.Circle.Boxing (talk) 12:39, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if someone saw it or not, it's about the rules. You didn't answer the question. Why we don't create such lists in other sports as I wrote, for example in football. Because this is not logical..., it's incomparable! Squared.Circle.Boxing (talk) 12:54, 11 August 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.206.218.53 (talk)

Firstly, the men's national Brazil team have won more FIFA World Cups than the US women's team, so that's a bad comparison. Secondly, how many World Cups have been won in the history of football? Becoming a four-belt, undisputed boxing champion is a much rarer achievement than a team winning a World Cup. Hence why it's worthy of mentioning the few that have achieved it.

You are a absolute legend. You have paved the way for female boxers. Well done girl. Marc Ryan (Liverpool)

“Change that she is “known for her controversial use of head butting” ridiculous to have that there after 1 fight where it happened. 2A06:5900:418:9800:403C:6901:A77B:5DC5 (talk) 04:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

There are a couple bits of vandalism that went unreverted before the page was protected.

• "as well as her controversial use of head-butting." should be removed from the end of the lead as this is not present in the source.

• The AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships hyperlink in the infobox needs to be fixed as someone has added the word "dirty" in the middle of it.
