patronymic?

edit

i don't understand that note saying that he is not addressed as berhanu -- question to me is whether he is addressed as HAYLE.

very odd to me to be using his given name in serious articles like this. are news stories also calling him lemi?

i should note that "hayle" wasn't even in this article as of yesterday. is this a surname in the western sense, or something else? any particular reason one WOULDN'T say that "hayle won the men's race" etc?

the "patronymic"/middle name is less important. pls explain the "non-surname" surname! 209.172.23.4 (talk) 03:06, 20 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Large misbalance: lack of Boston 2016 win description in lead

edit

I'm an IP and the oversensitive Wiki admins always revert my intelligent, sensibly rational edits whenever I try on occasion to do something myself. Can someone please highlight this man's largest career accomplishment in the article lead paragraph, instead of leaving it as a disjunctive detail in the middle of the page? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.170.194.172 (talk) 08:13, 22 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
