"After the death of Robert Wadlow in 1940 he was the tallest man in the world"

He was the World's tallest at age 15?

LOL. Yes, that can't be correct. Myllyrinne also was probably not the tallest man in the world because in 1940 he hadn't yet gone through his second phase of growth and was probably still well below eight feet.Mytg8 14:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This entire article is almost an exact copy from the link provided: http://www.thetallestman.com/donkoehler.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.200.97.152 (talk) 01:13, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, and here's an archive link to show it is so: https://web.archive.org/web/20090927130215/https://www.thetallestman.com/donkoehler.htm Antiaverage (talk) 00:38, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Number of people who have reached 8 feet

The opening paragraph states that Don Koehler is one of 13 people known to be at least 8 feet tall. However I got to this page from a link which states there are 17 people known to be at least 8 feet tall and the Wiki page for the tallest ever people shows 17 people in the list. Something is clearly wrong...FillsHerTease (talk) 16:31, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced sentences removed.

I removed the following because it had no references:

"For a time Koehler worked for local auto dealer Jim Moran, demonstrating the spaciousness of the Hudson Motor Car Company's so called "step down design", at least at the annual Chicago Auto Show, but he was bothered too much by doubters who were sure he was on stilts and set out to prove it with ladies' hatpins. He was approached by Abe Saperstein, an owner and coach of the Harlem Globetrotters offering him work as a player with the basketball team, but he declined the offer."

I searched through all the newspaper articles I could find, but found no mention of the alleged events. Karenthewriter (talk) 05:56, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
