Possible vandalism? "...and noted for the "gel" found in his hair.[1]" this needs to be sorsed and or expanded, or simply removed as vandalism" any author have a position on removing this phrase? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.81.103.22 (talk) 23:36, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that the hairstyle could have been an attempt to appear taller on account of his height being estimated at 5'2" (157.5 cm). This seems unclear to me because wouldn't that be around average height for someone from that time period? The source is a NOVA documentary that I don't have time to watch since the exact time of when it is mentioned is not available.Nemoscis (talk) 15:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
