QUESTION

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]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: pages moved. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:51, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Morne Steyn → Morné 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]

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]

Text of technical request and contesting statement

Morne Steyn → Morné Steyn – the redirection seems to be the wrong way round, the correctly spelled page redirects to the incorrect one, it would make more sense to have it the other way round. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 20:32, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Moves involving the addition or removal of diacritics are not uncontroversial and should go through a full discussion. Jenks24 (talk) 22:07, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support per MightyPeanut and BDD should be uncontroversial technical request - www.sport24.co.za Morné Steyn to stay a Bull, yes accent-stripping from BLPs is controversial, but spelling correctly is the norm and this was a perfectly simple technical request following sources that should not have been contested.

Support The "official home of the Springboks" site, listed as a reference, gives his name as Morné, in English. Ought to be uncontroversial. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 02:23, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support; more accurate spelling. bobrayner (talk) 10:07, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lion tamer

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"
