as declared by his mother to newspapers several times, after his father was assigned in South Korea.-- Arorae ( talk) 16:23, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
This claim seems to be wrong. Children born in Italy from two foreign parents can acquire the Italian citizenship only as young adults. However, Marcell as a son of an Italian mother was eligible by birth and being living in Italy from an early age should have definitely received the citizenship earlier (if not at birth if, as it is usually the case, the birth had been communicated to the Italian consulate). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.218.233.211 ( talk • contribs) 04:27, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
I did not imply that he was born in Italy. My point was exactly the opposite: where he was born does not play any role in the Italian citizenship law which is based on the ius saguinis and not the ius soli ( see the link). Why would anybody living in Italy who is eligible for Italian citizenship (as a son of an Italian mother) do not apply for Italian citizenship for 16 years? Although the claim seemed absurd to me, out of curiosity I spend some time to research it but did not find any reference (in Italian or English) about Jacobs acquiring the Italian citizenship later in life outside the random online Journal cited here.
The claim that he did not acquire Italian citizenship until 2010 is clearly wrong. The Italian law is clear: anyone born to an Italian parent (mother or father) is automatically Italian. Italian law also allows double citizenship. So, by Italian law, Jacobs was Italian at birth. 158.143.74.184 ( talk) 10:12, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Should we write every record he had? In such case we should write about his 9.95 Italian record, 9.84 European record and multiple 4x100 records. Right now only the latest one are considered. I reckon this conflicts with the specification "current holder". 5.170.224.165 ( talk) 16:29, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
The broken records section is a fundamental piece of information which right now is hidden under the statistics table. The reading of this info is therefore not immediate and unintuitive. Is ask for the immediate reinstatement of the records section. 5.170.225.252 ( talk) 18:05, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
As per WP:RCD I am opening a section on Jacobs' quote, keeps being reverted by @ Justbean:. Afaics, the quote was added in this edit here (1st of August). In Italian it reads: «Di americano ho solo le fibre muscolari, mi sento italiano al 100%». My (I am native Italian speaker) translation to English would be "Only my muscle fibers are american, I feel 100% Italian" (let me stress that this is 'not' a correct translation).
Now, consulting WP:QUOTE ("General guidelines" especially) I feel it is a fair and informative quote: it comes from a reliable source ('La Stampa' interview), it is correctly translated and most importantly 'is representative of the whole source document' (in this case, the question was on how Jacobs self identifies).
For these reasons I would add it back again. My opinion is that is would be appropriate as an inline quote (as opposed to blockquote as now). Ffaffff ( talk) 19:46, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
I created the article year ago and kept it until before the Olympics following the rules of Wikipedia:WikiProject Athletics and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Athletics/Manual of Style/Biographies. Now I will arrange the voice step by step according to the MOS of the project and detailing every single change in the "edit summary" of the article after each modification. But I'll go into more detail on my edits, explaining its, in this section. -- Kasper2006 ( talk) 21:40, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
I don't follow "athletics", and have no expertise in the field, so I'm reluctant to engage half-informed in the sort of amateur editing that Wikipedia is infamous for. But even I notice that a few things are very much out of date. Jacobs now lives in Florida, he trains with Tumbleweed Track Club, and his coach is Rana Reider. There may be some other things that need updating, too. Barefoot through the chollas ( talk) 20:18, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
