message: It says “years active: 1918–1940” in his description. It’s just his lifespan; it isn’t really informative. Shouldn’t this be replaced with “known for: tallest verified human” or something like that? Manderson22 (talk) 01:09, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

message: I don't know if it is feasible, but an outline of a "regular" man's body juxtaposed with an outline of Wadlow's body, scaled down to the same size, might be informative and helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.225.17.141 (talk) 20:30, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess the photo of the two 10-year-olds in the infobox isn't enough for you? Oh, wait: "scaled down to the same size"? Do you mean, to compare bone structure, or something? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 23:38, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

message: There is one element to this article that this article dances around (although a comment on the first page in the Talk archives directly mentions it): what was Wadlow's reaction to his unusual height? IMHO, for this article to reach FA or GA status, it needs to devote some space to his feelings or state of mind about being so tall. Otherwise, this article is little more than a collection of anecdotes. -- llywrch (talk) 17:06, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
