# Talk:Mimis Papaioannou

Image:Papaioannou.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The player’s date of birth has been corrected from "23 August 1942" to "17 November 1942" following the discovery of a primary, official document confirming this information.
The key evidence is an original player registration card issued by the Victorian Soccer Federation (Australia) in 1979, when Mimis Papaioannou signed for Western Suburbs. The document clearly shows the handwritten date of birth 17/11/42, making it a contemporary primary source created during his active playing career. As a first-hand, official record, this outweighs any later secondary or tertiary references that repeated the incorrect August date. It can be found at a photograph in the citation at the end of paragraph.
Additional supporting sources include:

Papaioannou’s autobiography Rantevou ston aera, where he explicitly states his date of birth as 17 November 1942.
A handful of sources used within the main page of the article.
All relevant entries (including Wikidata and Wikipedia in other languages) have been updated accordingly with proper citations.  
This correction is therefore based on a verified primary source corroborated by consistent secondary references, ensuring the most accurate and reliable information available. BEN917 22:13, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
