Streaking incident

Vitaliy Zdorovetskiy pitch invasion - do you think that it's notable enough to be included in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.100.1.66 (talk) 07:17, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No. It's not been picked up by any mainstream media, as far as I can tell. It's just a streaker on the pitch, it's not really huge news. - 97rob (talk) 13:56, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for getting back to me! Good point, I agree with you! I guess it could also become notable if a statement made by Benedikt Howedes regarding his interaction with the streaker received significant coverage. In any case, the Vitaly Zdorovetskiy article mentions the incident.

Guess what it's on the article. Owned.2602:306:CC4B:BA69:41F9:7D54:F6BA:C288 (talk) 00:40, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest Uruguay v Brazil (1950 FIFA World Cup) is moved appropriately, not a GA need, but I trust you to fix this anomaly.
It's worth bearing in mind that this match was not a final in the traditional sense - that particular world cup was held as a simple league format rather than a knockout, and it was only by fortuitous coincidence that the top two teams happened to be playing each other for the title in the final game. I have amended the link in the article away from the misnomered redirect. — Amakuru (talk) 20:03, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Guinness World Records state that the official crowd for the game was 173,850, but note that with illegal entrants included, who were not recorded, the figure could have been as high as 210,000.[16] T" that's a footnote, it's not relevant to this article.

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:1930 FIFA World Cup Final which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 14:32, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Distance from airport to ground - OR?

@Piledhigheranddeeper: Regarding your inline query about OR, I think this would fall under WP:CALC. The location of the stadium and the location of the airport are as cited, and distance between two locations on the surface of Earth would qualify as a routine calculation. I used Google Maps distance calculator as a convenience, but could have also used a standard formula to reach the same result. Note that this passed FAC, and a similar case at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2017 Africa Cup of Nations Final/archive1#Source review was verified explicitly by a source reviewer who said to explicitly state where the weather forecast was located.
