Talk:Eiður Guðjohnsen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Authenticity check: A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts? —Wetman |
[edit] Eiður Guðjohnsen or Eidur Gudjohnsen?
The title suggests Eiður Guðjohnsen, but the infobox and start of article say Eidur Gudjohnsen, which is correct? (If I get no response I will go ahead and change Eidur > Eiður and Gudjohnsen > Guðjohnsen throughout the article, as that seems more likely to be true.) - MTC 18:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- According to The National Register of Persons in Iceland his name is Eiður Smári Guðjohnsen, so Eiður Guðjohnsen is correct. - gumol 00:45, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I've changed the name in most of the article, except for the "known in English as Eidur Gudjohnsen", for what should be obvious reasons. I've also left Gudjohnsen in the references as they are the actual names of the news articles. - MTC 06:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Goal vs Chivas
He gained famed because of the impressive goal he scored? Come on, I was there and it was nothing impressive. What fame did he gain in the US? Only the people who knew who he was beforehand still know who he is.
If the only info that was needed was he is an Icelandic football player, then there would be no purpose of Wikipedia. Kingjeff 20:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
