Hi! I saw, that you have made some create edits on Basketball at the 1952 Summer Olympics for the Israeli squad! So I would like to ask you, if you have some more information about the players? I would like to start articles for all of them like I have done it e.g. for Bill Coulthard. I think, that at least the date of birth is necessary to start an article...
Do you also have some more info about the names? E.g. Reuben Perach or Reuben Fecher-Perach. What is his birth name? And under which name he competed at the 1952 Olympics? Maybe he was born Reuben Fecher and changed his name to Reuben Perach and competed also only under the name Reuben Perach?
Please let me know if you are interested in creating these articles, because I have some more questions. Kind regards and :) Doma-w ( talk) 15:14, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
The issue of names is quite confusing... as most, if not all, players were not born in Israel (as were most Israelis at that time), their original names were in their native language. There was a government directive at that time that Israeli Olimpians should change their names to Hebrew names, therefor the official names were in Hebrew (except for several athletes who got away from this order, for example Shneior). Some athletes continued to use their Hebrew name after the Olympics, but others didn't and were known by their original names throughout their life. I decided that in case of double names, the common name comes first, whether it's Hebrew or not. So it's Rolf Klein-Ram but Shimon Shelah-Schmuckler. Since my earliest sources on Israeli sport are from the 1970s, it's hard to tell what were the names at the time of the Olympics. For example... Moshe Daniel is the common name for one basketball player, but in the Olympic record his name is Moshe Daniel Levy, and it's unclear which is first and last names...-- Nitsansh ( talk) 14:53, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
On the other hand, there are athletes who continued to use their original names, and the Hebrew name they were given for the Olympics remain no more than an anecdote in their biography... for example, the person whose original name was Rolf Klein was given the name Raphael Ram, but everybody in Israel refer to him as Ralf Klein... (BTW, the meaning of Klein in German is small, but Ram in Hebrew is the opposite - high...)-- Nitsansh ( talk) 16:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
