Request to move

Pétur Karl Guðmundsson --> Pétur Guðmundsson

I can understand the compulsion to move "Petur Gudmundsson" to "Pétur Guðmundsson", because of the Icelandic characters, but this individual's middle name was never part of his often-referred-to name in verifiable sources. I'm quite sure articles about notable people don't typically include middle names which are not used in public circles. --Downwards 07:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I vote YES to move.--Downwards 07:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been renamed from Pétur Karl Guðmundsson to Pétur Guðmundsson as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 07:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am going to review this article as part of the October GA backlog drive. I should be done within a week. Kimikel (talk) 01:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alvaldi: Please see my initial review below. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, or will not be able to complete these changes in a reasonable time frame. Thank you. Kimikel (talk) 00:37, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kimikel Thanks for the work! I've gone through the review and made the requested fixes. While I updated the image with the cropped one, I'm unsure if it is better. The original is a rather low quality image which gets amplified on the cropped one. Alvaldi (talk) 09:50, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alvaldi: I understand where you're coming from; it's obviously not the highest quality image, but in my opinion, it's not too horrible and it's better to have Pétur as the only subject of the image. Feel free to change it back if you prefer the old one, just make sure to indicate that Pétur is the guy on the left. Regardless, I've gone through the article and there's nothing left to fix, I am going to pass it as a GA. Thank you for your prompt, quality work and congratulations!

Broad

There's no information on when/why he stopped coaching Grindavík, if there's info on that it should be added
