1.81 meter vs 5'11

Math? E.Polti (talk) 18:50, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's an automatic conversion that gives the same as {{Convert|1.81|m|ftin}} i.e."1.81 metres (5 ft 11 in)". What's the problem exactly? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:09, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

5 ft 11 in corresponds to the interval 70.5″ to 71.5″, witch, in SI units, is 179.07 cm to 181.61 cm. Therefore 5′11″ is quite consistent with 181 cm. —Wasell^(T) 18:57, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2019 NCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championship

Should his runner-up finish at the 2019 NCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championship be listed? 2601:3C8:427F:5060:8871:B403:9295:DEA9 (talk) 21:09, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usonian?

I’m sorry what? 2001:4643:1E4C:0:50B8:F66C:9017:D6C1 (talk) 21:24, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usonian?

I see this is a term invented by Frank Lloyd Wright. I’m assuming this guy updated the article himself to take out the word American? He seems to disdain his American roots. Is that why this bizarre word is used in this article? 162.84.200.66 (talk) 21:27, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some gibberish IP user(s) just want to disrupt or vandalize the article, it was now reverted. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 21:30, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replace "jump" with "vault"?

I see the word "jump" is used 30 times in the article, e.g. "with a jump of 6.00 m", "Duplantis jumped 5.75 m", etc. I thought the correct term was "vault"/"vaulted" etc. Or is this a difference between English/Australian usage (I'm Australian) and American.

Armand Duplantis → Mondo Duplantis – He uses his nickname instead of his full name on all the major social media sites and Mondo Duplantis seems very common in news coverage as well. The combination of these two factors prompted me to start a discussion on how to name the article. Killuminator (talk) 12:49, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose. He competes under his given name. Marbe166 (talk) 14:50, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question That his full name is used in official contexts is not reason alone for it to be the title, nor is the fact that he uses the nickname for his social media channels a reason alone to change it. Instead, the question is what appears more often in reliable sources per the WP:COMMONNAME policy. This is not a !vote so much as a question on if anything has been dug up to point to an answer one way or another?--Yaksar (let's chat) 21:22, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per the reason given by Marbe166 above. /Julle (talk) 09:51, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support as he is far and away more widely known in popular culture as Mondo. Ultimatescapegoat (talk) 15:52, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable Grammar

I'm aware I could just go in and edit but wanted to point out that I found some questionable grammar points while skimming this article. For example:

"Duplantis eventually chose to represent the Swedish Olympic national team instead of the US team, that was after an intervention the Swedish Olympic Pole Vault youth coach, Jonas Anshelm, who had offered and gave a job to Armand's father to be the Swedish national pole vault team coach."

Tofflenheim: Please do feel empowered to fix them! /Julle (talk) 09:52, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed and moved! Minorstab (talk) 01:06, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
