QUESTION

[edit]

In the Records section - What Cristophe Lamaison has to do with Tri-Nations Tournament? France is not part of this tournament so the comparison with Lamaison's 29 points record is meaningless in the context. To be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.96.212.18 (talk) 14:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Morne SteynMorné Steyn – Contested technical request by TheMightyPeanut. Articles recently moved, with strong consensus, to use diacritics recently include Marek Hrivík, Paul Rémy, Eduardo Barragán, Stéphane Charbonneau, Toni Androić, and Adelin Benoît. All but one of those move requests were batches. Despite this rapidly emerging consensus that people's names with diacritics should be displayed as such, regardless of typographical restrictions or conventions of some English-language sources, it would appear we are not yet at the point where we can consider these moves noncontroversial/technical. We have to deal with them individually—so be it. I strongly request this move, and others like it. I also invite the addition of similar cases to this request. --BDD (talk) 03:30, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, currently at Talk:Bjorn Kotze: ‎

Other similar cases as BDD invited. Morné (given name) is always spelled Morné, there is no name "Morne" (for obvious reasons, think what "Good morning Mawn" would sound like...) In ictu oculi (talk) 04:59, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lion tamer

[edit]

While the description of "professional lion tamer" is obviously erroneous and parody it is notable that Steyn in well known for his specific performance against the British and Irish Lions in rugby.

I think the nickname or attribution of "lion tamer" is sufficiently noteworthy and that the "vandalism" of the Wikipedia page coupled with considerable number of memes warrants a small section in his "playing career"
