 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:32, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• "(1906 – 1987)" but you have the actual dates in the article?

 Done - corrected. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:55, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• Be consistent with date formats throughout the article, DMY or MDY...

 Done - MDY. Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:42, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• Could link Freak show for "circus curiosity"?

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:43, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• "soldier of the German Army" in, not of.

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:48, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• "His parents were six feet " do you mean "Both his parents were six feet tall"?

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:29, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• Do you mean, specifically, Luna Park, Paris?

 Done = yes! Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• "German army. He was the German Army's tallest soldier" army or Army? And merge these probably, to "German Army, becoming their tallest soldier."

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:41, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• And is that tallest ever or tallest at the time?

 Done = ever. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:47, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• "as Prisoners of War and" no need for that capitalization.

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:50, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• " States[11] because he wanted to leave bombed-out post-war Germany. " odd ref placement, move to end of sentence. Is the latter part of the

sentence unreferenced?

 Done Corrected - should have been at end of sentence.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:57, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• I would also remove "bombed-out" too as that's a little unencyclopedic.

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:59, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• "giant Santa Claus." for whom?

 Done - for companies and organizations. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:06, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• His height isn't mentioned in the main prose, just the lead and infobox.

 Done added into main prose. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:11, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• " Ripley's Believe It or Not! " is normally italicised.

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:16, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• "at Brussels, " in, not at.

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:18, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• "five feet eight inches tall" you converted the others to metres...

 Done - convert template added. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:23, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• " December 16, 1955.[19][22][23] " three refs needed for this one fact?

 Done - corrected to only one ref.--Doug Coldwell (talk)

That's all I have on a quick run through. On hold. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 11:02, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
