Talk:Zacharia Ofri

Subject Name
Looks like there was a little dispute about the subject's name; we were contacted by a COI editor in OTRS 2020030910004945. I have reviewed additional sources to support the other spelling and this doesn't appear to be controversial. 's prior move revert was certainly justified given the COI; I've found several sources with conflicting spellings, but have no reason to doubt the validity of the COI requester - added at least one of them to the article. If anyone has a very reliable source for the 1952 Israel Olympics teams that would be better. — xaosflux  Talk 17:14, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

thanks for this. I did discuss this several times with the user in question, but they offered no reply (that I could see).  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:19, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note - your reversion was fine, was searching for more RS's and it only made things worse :) - Here is yet another spelling, "Zcharia" from olympic.org.  So this is certainly far from consistent. —  xaosflux  Talk 17:20, 9 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Mercy! And learn Hebrew was item #38 on today's daily goal list too. :D  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 18:17, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Here's how you spell it in Hebrew: זכריה עופרי   I will put that on the page; Actually, when I search in Hebrew, I get a few web pages (unfortunately I can't read them!!) https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%96%D7%9B%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%94_%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%A4%D7%A8%D7%99

But I can see that these are obituaries, which would validate some of the information. https://sports.walla.co.il/item/3141628 https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-5157344,00.html
