Talk:Oscar Pistorius/Archive 6

Latest comment: 6 years ago by InternetArchiveBot in topic External links modified

Prison term, incarceration status confusion

So under the prison term section it ends with he was released from prison. This is misleading because he is stil on house arrest. Made me re-read the opening paragraph to verify if this is a typo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evanbroox (talkcontribs) 04:06, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

He is next due in court on 18 April 2016 to a date on which he will be sentenced for the murder conviction.

Name

Apparently we got Pistorius' second and third name wrong. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, The Guarduian and CNN it's "Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius". I have fixed the article without citing one of these sources for the name; if that's felt to be necessary we can easily do so, but it seemed overkill to me to cite a source immediately after his name. Huon (talk) 23:00, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

In his autobiography "Blade Runner" he states his name as Oscar Carl Lennard Pistorius so that should be the ONLY name used, I mean who is wrong media websites or Oscar himself?. Amazon Look Inside view for source Superdry19 (talk) 03:07, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
It's hard to differentiate in audio between "Leonard" and "Lennard", but at the 46:50 mark of this courtroom coverage you can hear him give his full name. The order of the middle names can be clearly distinguished, and "Carl" comes last. This seems to be the verdict, reported in a secondary source, and again the order of names is "Leonard Carl". So at best there's conflicting evidence from primary sources. In such a case the secondary sources should be followed, and they are almost unanimous (Google News results are 120:6, and at least one of the six likely took its content from us). Huon (talk) 11:53, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
I also found this document by Pistorius himself, uploaded by eNCA.com, again giving his middle names as "Leonard Carl". Huon (talk) 12:35, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Achievements section

Is it me, or do these take up a lot of space? Why are the medal columns so wide? Would it best to have the whole thing hidden in a collapsed table? I know there are other things happening right now, but I open this up for comments. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:32, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
