The entire section "Stülcken Derrick" reads very much as if it has come out of an automatic translation service. 93.189.156.99 ( talk) 09:18, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
...is entirely inappropriate, and needs changing. Whoever devised it was obviously having a laugh. The mayor of Yurp ( talk) 20:14, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
I have a book here [1] that says "derrick" was named after the famous London hangman Godfrey Derrick. Unless Mr. Derrick went by both names, someone is wrong. I don't see any substantiation of "Godfrey", so I lean towards that being the incorrect one, but I still thought I'd mention the discrepancy. I also notice that sightings of him in older books seem to omit a first name entirely and simply refer to him as "Derrick". – JBarta ( talk) 21:29, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
