Debate 1

I haven't listed the events in the modern athletics pentathlon, as I haven't found a definitive source that lists them (i.e. I can't find it on the IOC's website). Some biographies of Thorpe on the web suggest that it was the same as the ancient Pentathlon, except with a 1500m sprint replacing the wrestling. Note that some websites written by professionals (such as the BBC, who I've emailed about it) have repeatedly confused this track and field pentathlon with the modern pentathlon. Average Earthman 15:31, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Pentathlon is an event for women during the indoor season. See [1]. The events are 60 m hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and 800 metres. This event has nothing to do with modern pentathlon. Punkmorten 20:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see that it's called women's pentathlon here. Punkmorten 20:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure we can safely say that pentathlon and modern pentathlon are different. Davidbod 20:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incident 1: First Sentence Needs Fixing

Can someone please fix the first sentence of this article? I have no idea what it means. 72.79.199.205 (talk) 23:54, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

please use Simple-Wiki for easier understanding of the article Pentathlon Tom140996 (123.200.250.35 (talk) 09:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Incident 2: Deletion of Article

Someone deleted all of this article. Does anyone know how to fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GeekyTwin (talk • contribs) 23:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reporting this incident. It has been dealt with and the article has been restored. Tom140996 (123.200.250.35 (talk) 09:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Incident 3: Pie Tastes Good?

It has been reported that someone had added Bold textpie tastes good to Pentathlon article and had also added Bold and Italic writing where it was not needed. I have changed this as it has nothing to do with Pentathlon article.

split

This article should be split and either replaced with an overview article of all types of pentathlon, or a dab page. 70.51.11.210 (talk) 07:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support, each pentathlon is clearly a separate topic. A dab page here is preferable. 69.181.46.79 (talk) 01:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. In the Finnish wiki, each pentathlon already has a separate article. --Vongoiva (talk) 14:16, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why this article shouldn't document all the types of pentathlon (i.e. a better version of what we have now) then we can have a separate sub-page for each type which goes into more detail. They are all pretty similar in concept (that of five athletic events). I'll see what I can do... Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)^{WIKIPROJECT ATHLETICS NEEDS YOU!} 20:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
