MIke Jacobs[edit]

Was Jimmy Jacobs (handballer) Mike Jacobs son? The timing is right, similar interests (boxing). Neither article of either mentions it/24.146.168.81 (talk) 01:19, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Jimmy was Mike's nephew, although off hand I can't find anything to verify that. SteveO (talk) 09:40, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Jimmy Jacobs (handballer)[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Jimmy Jacobs (handballer)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto2":

From Simon Singer: "Simon "Stuffy" Singer; Handball - 1991". Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
From Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame: Foreman, Judy (January 28, 2014). "Judy Foreman: Surfer Shaun Tomson Inducted Into SoCal Jewish Sports Hall of Fame". Noozhawk.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
