• ... that Theodor Scheidl, who participated in the pentathlon of the 1906 Olympic Games and in the 1928 Bayreuth Festival, appeared as Scarpia in Puccini's Tosca in 1955, to celebrate his 75th birthday? Source: [1]

• The article is new enough and long enough, and most of it is well-referenced. His Olympic results don't appear to be cited, so I'd suggest doing that, as it should be possible to find something that verifies them. The blurb formatting has one issue: an excess period before the question mark. Getting rid of that makes the blurb exactly 200 characters by my count, and the fact strikes me as quite interesting. I'll AGF on the sources, since I can't read in German and can't access the Grove biography. Fix those couple of little issues and finish a QPQ review and this should be good to go.

  Thank you for the review! I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Four for McGovern, and the dot taken away - you could do that next time ;) - The sports stuff is here, I found that among the external links, so thought it's possibly not reliable. What can we do? The Athens Olympic results are in several sources, - we could drop the others if needed, or source to this website? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:05, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

  • Sports-Reference websites have passed muster at FAC before, so I think that page will be fine for citing Olympic results, which is all it would be used for. Giants2008 (Talk) 19:17, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

    • With the cite added, the article looks good to go. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:43, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
