Dramani with an I?

After he scored today, I noticed that FIFA plainly has his name as Draman. His shirt back says Draman. So I made a couple of changes (the squad template, moved this page). I didn't change them all (the full WC squads page). I will go back and use {{PAGENAME}} to remove one dependency.

BEGIN DIGRESSION: This is a great example of how Wp violates the don't repeat yourself principle, which is my current peeve. I don't like leaving inconsistency, but I'm happy to do so to prove the point about DRY. So I'm lazy and don't want to make a change 4 places instead of 1 - so sue me. Of course if other people want to expend the energy to make the changes so that he's consistently Draman, they should do so. -- PhilipR 14:33, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everybody, Puma are useless at spelling players' names on their shirts. Did you see the African Cup of Nations this year? Every other name was misspelt. Journalistic sources all use Haminu Dramani, as does the Ghanaian FA site. See link.

For example, they had PAINSTIL instead of PANTSIL in Egypt 2006. Mjefm 17:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I have no objection since it appears semi-official(see also another GFA page here, confirming it's not just a typo). Puma may well be useless, but why on earth would FIFA propagate the error? Don't they have an official squad list turned in by the GFA? I'm just curious. -- PhilipR 17:21, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FIFA are useless when it comes to statistics. Goal times, and even goalscorers, on old official match reports as recently as 1994 (see Romania v Switzerland) are staggeringly at variance with what is manifest on video. And the official World Cup website used to say DRAMANI. Mjefm 17:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is FIFA the one to decide what a man should call himself

Out of respect for the man and his name instead of a stupid mistake by PUMA, why don't you place the entry at Haminu_Dramani and redirect from here there.

Same thing happened to Shilla Illiasu Alhassan, Emmanuel Paintsil and Richard Kingston. Now PUMA and FIFA have renamed these players and it seems ironic that we criticise this right here but still propagate the mistake.

He is Draman

Yes, there is confusion about his name because GFA misspelled his name. I talked to him on the subject and he confirmed his last name is DRAMAN. I'm not familiar with how this site works but it would be nice if his name would be writen corectly. Thank you.

If we can document this conversation, then we need to move it back to Draman. Even something like "personal interview, such-and-such date" is considered valid for documentation right? Meanwhile, I've cited this as an example at Don't repeat yourself because it shows a huge flaw in the Wikipedia model. We can't keep moving 4 different articles back and forth pending a resolution. - PhilipR 18:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
