This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Jon Mulkeen (2009-08-16). "Pressure-free, Vili delivers second World title". IAAF.

Mistake

The above IAAF article mentions that the article has listed that Vili had a Scottish father, when in fact he is English. Let's be careful to get our citations and facts right in future. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)^{Join WikiProject Athletics!} 11:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

IAAF says she's no longer Vili; her profile is under Valerie Adams now and says "During a couple of years she took Vili as surname." Major changes probably need more elaborate information, but be ready for it. Sideways713 (talk) 18:45, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
