Duckadam's height

[edit]

It says in the article that Duckadam is only 1,75 m tall. I saw him on TV, next to tall people, and he must be taller than that. On the Romanian Wikipedia it says he is 1,93 m tall. I am going to edit the information about his height, please excuse me for not having better sources, but, just looking at him in videos makes it clear that he is any case closer to 1,93 than to 1,75, so, references are needed. --Venatoreng (talk) 22:32, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • You are indeed correct Venatoreng. However, per Wikipedia police of verifiability (which says we must comply to the sources when it's all that he have, and both - including one Romanian! - say he's 1,75) we'll have to leave that be until, as you say, someone finds a reliable reference (not just RO.WIKI, anyone could have edited that).

Orphaned references in Helmuth Duckadam

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Helmuth Duckadam's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "FIFA":

  • From Goalkeeper (association football): ""Yashin, the impregnable Spider"". FIFA. Retrieved 23 November 2013
  • From List of goalscoring goalkeepers: "Cometh the hour, cometh the keeper". FIFA. 13 April 2007. Retrieved 10 December 2010.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 02:01, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First name

[edit]

On his webpage he uses the first name "Helmut". But most databases use the first name "Helmuth". Which version should be used by Wikipedia? --Kallichore (talk) 20:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
