Non-free images

Wikipedia's policy requires minimal usage of non-free content. Multiple pictures are not necessary to stand as the "Primary means of identifying a notable person". --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 23:49, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I believe these five images illustrate this person and significant events in his career/life very well without being overkill. The amount of images here is comparable to many articles. The brother photo is important as it points out why he is unique from other persons with Sacral agenesis. The handstand photo represents his physical abilities as well as his presence in the film Freaks (it is a publicity photo from that film). The Rajah Raboid magician photo represents one of the events in his life that he is most famous for and is still talked about in regards to a particular magician's trick (a trick which has since been replicated with a person with Sacral agenesis by Criss Angel, but without the twin). The later life photo represents his end years (though taken in the 1960s) after his career and also shows one of the more well-known parts of that later life. All of the people in these photos are also deceased. None of the photos are superfluous. NileQT87 (talk) 00:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC)NileQT87

All right. I will ask for feedback from others. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:19, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I've nominated three of the five for deletion. – Quadell ^(talk) 12:51, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

An article is generally limited to 1 non-free image, with a FUR in place of course, and anymore is considered decorative unless an additional image is specific to a notable and sizeable section of an article and being used to identify something relevant in that section. At least that's how it's been explained to me. - ALLST✰R▼^echo _{wuz here @} 14:23, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Lead

"Born without the lower half of his torso", I guess this is very misleading as he had an underdeveloped one, that he was hiding, not none. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 07:01, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Wee Eck

Was Wee Eck named after him? [[1]]

Status of the biopic?

Do we know how recently the project had a reasonable hope of reaching the screen? Is it still considered viable, as this article seems to suggest? Granttarredus (talk) 04:27, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Early Life

Maybe I'm being nit-picky here, but "Although Eck capitalized on the resemblance between himself and Robert, the twins were fraternal." is a sentence that I think could be re-worded. Twins being fraternal and looking different are not mutually exclusive, especially since identical vs fraternal is a genetic distinction, and not based on interpretation of looks.
