Davies or Davis[edit]

Some sources list him as Davis. See the below thread copied over from List of Wales international footballers (alphabetical).

Should the above be on the list as Gareth Davis - my Rothmans source has him without the 'e' and he is a redlink at [1] without. Regards. Eldumpo (talk) 11:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it seems he should be without the 'e'. Apologies, that's a mistake on my part. Kosack (talk) 17:51, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking and changing, though I have shortened his redlink as there seem to be no others on wiki. Eldumpo (talk) 21:16, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to disagree with you guys on this, but both my reference books list him as "Davies" as does the summary of the England match in which he played.[2]. The "Who's Who of Welsh International Soccer Players" (incidentally co-authored by Gareth M. Davies) says "His surname is given as "Davis" in most reference books". www.allfootballers.com (Michael Joyce's website) gives his name as "Davis" which agrees with Rothmans.--Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:43, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His date of birth is also different: both books have 11 August 1949, whereas you have 11 July (which is what www.allfootballers.com says). As at this stage, we have different equally reliable sources saying different things, I have added a note to the list explaining the differences. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:43, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
