Talk:Sepp Blatter

Name

According to "Zum 75. Geburtstag von Sepp Blatter: Top Ten und Bilderstrecke – 11 Freunde". 11FREUNDE.de., Blatter was born Josef Blatter but later took the nick name Sepp (a German language diminutive of Josef) and styled himself Joseph S Blatter (note the anglicized spelling of Joseph) where the S does not stand for anything per se but references his nick name. In accordance with the Manual of Style, how should this be reflected in the lead? Greenshed (talk) 03:32, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

What about "Joseph "Sepp" Blatter (born Josef Blatter, 10 March 1936), formally styled as Joseph S. Blatter ..." with footnotes to explain that the "S" in Joseph S. Blatter does not actually stand for any other name? Greenshed (talk) 15:07, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Sepp Blatter

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 Sepp Blatter'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.
