the article cited (jamie jackson in the observer sport monthly) gives fatimas father as a greek cypriot. and it does not support the claim that her (biological) mother had suggested fatima live with the whitbread family.
i have therefore made the appropriate changes to the entry.

Yes, now linked. I swapped this with the British schools event in the National titles section, as the British schools wasn't actually a national event.

"that she participated in" -> "in which she participated".
"Sportswoman of the year" odd capitalisation, surely either Sportswoman of the Year or sportswoman of the year?
I've only added "javelin thrower" as it looks like he started to attract press coverage only from 1976. In her 1988 book, Whitbread wrotes "David Ottley, who was eventually to become the British record holder".

"the coach arrived. The coach who arrived " repetitive.
"Whitbread was the fiancée of Norman..." too much in this one sentence, break it up a bit.
The Temple controversy seems quite tangential to Whitbread herself.
Perhaps I was too influenced by the content of the article before I started working on it (see
[1]). On the other hand, Temple was investigating Whitbread's business affairs, and Norman was closely linked to her. Do you think the mentions of this should be further trimmed, or eliminated?

"2012.[24][7]" ref order.
"won the title in 1987." maybe "the following year" to mix up the prose a little.
No, I'm happy with it now. I made a couple of minor adjustments. Also, for the {{London Gazette}}, there's a nolink parameter which could be used if you did want to aim for consistency, it's by no means a requirement of GAN, so I'll leave it to you, but worth knowing I guess. So will promote, good work.

"Second-longest throw of all time"
In the section on the 1986 European Championships it says that Whitbread produced a throw of 73.68 m in the fifth round which was "the second-longest throw of all time by a woman, at that point". However, right before that statement it says she broke the javelin world record in the qualifying round with a throw of 77.44 m "more than 2 m further than the record set by Petra Felke of East Germany the previous year". So how could 73.68 m be the second-longest throw of all time by a woman? It looks like it was the fourth-longest at best:
