Disagrees with itself

In the article, it says his hometown is Visp, but it lists it as Zurich. Any help? ThatKongregateGuy (talk) 22:15, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Born in "Visp, Valais, Switzerland" and lives in "Zürich, Switzerland". SLBedit (talk) 22:29, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No it says In 2011, his hometown was Visp, I don't know if he moved or what.ThatKongregateGuy (talk) 11:15, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hometown: "An individual’s place of birth (not the case), childhood home, or place of main residence." He can also have multiple residences. SLBedit (talk) 13:09, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Multiple residences. Not multiple hometowns. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:11, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Visp in infobox refers to place of birth which is his hometown. @ThatKongregateGuy: what is the "in 2011" reference? Nevermind it's this one. SLBedit (talk) 13:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My first answer was correct. SLBedit (talk) 13:22, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: I couldn't find any reference to Talk:Sepp Blatter#Spouse(s) so I removed them from infobox. SLBedit (talk) 13:24, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Good move. With all the attention on him currently, I daresay the world will know all there is to be known about him in the not too distant future! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:27, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In Switzerland, it is perfectly possible to have several official "hometowns" (Heimatorte), but this does not appear to apply to Blatter, whose hometown is apparently Obergoms (before 2009: Ulrichen). He was born in Visp and he resides in Zurich. --dab (𒁳) 14:32, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article says that:
"Blatter has been publicly heckled, at the World Cup in Seoul and the Confederations Cup in Frankfurt, both in 2006, in his home town of Visp in 2011...."
It's a bit ambiguous but "hometown" can mean:
"An individual’s place of birth, childhood home, or place of main residence." a
In this instance the its his birth and childhood home. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 14:47, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We should go with FIFA's reference. SLBedit (talk) 15:40, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
of course it's a matter of reference. I was trying to explain that the term "hometown" in Switzerland has a specific, official meaning different from either "place of birth" or "place of residence". Your place of birth will in most cases be different from your hometown, as is the case with JB. --dab (𒁳) 09:34, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think what this conversation says is that we should avoid the unqualified usage of the term 'home town' because it can have several different meanings. In English (and this is the English language wikipedia) it is ambiguous between 'place of birth', 'childhood home', or 'place of main residence'. When used in respect to a Swiss national, it is even more confusing because of the concept of Heimatorte, which is (perhaps erroneously) translated to home town, but (as best I can tell) actually means 'place of origin of family'. However in this case the article has already specified Visp as place of birth, so the usage isn't unqualified, and I think is perfectly reasonable. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 12:51, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blatters resignation and the FBI

Apparently Blatter met with two members of the FBI the weekend before his resignation. He was told, in no uncertain terms, that unless he resigned his own dealings would be made public. He was told that if he resigned he would be allowed to go quietly. This may or may not be suitable stuff for the article. That is up to others to decide. 213.114.44.178 (talk) 16:53, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Negative source. The Guardian (e.g.) says merely that he was "told by those closest to him that the walls were closing in"- and that was highly unlikely to be the FBI! (Good article here) Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:22, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blatter comments re resignation from June 25

This was added by a new user and immediately reverted. The substance should be included. I edited substantially - took out most of the long quotes. Objections to the material should be raised here - or edits made to have the new material - simple reversions are not appropriate. --Trödel 18:07, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please delete the unnecessary, extra to before the quote in this sentence: He was further quoted as saying that he resigned to "to take away the pressure from FIFA and my employees, including [pressure] from the sponsors...” Perint (talk) 16:45, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
