Changes to the height data
Every height we added, corrected or withdrew, newest first. Design changes aren’t listed.
· Added
Heightvs in Spanish, Korean, German, Indonesian, Arabic, Polish, Italian, Dutch and Romanian: the comparison tool at /es, /ko, /de, /id, /ar (written right to left), /pl, /it, /nl and /ro, each with a height difference calculator and a feet-to-centimetres converter, heights typed the local way (1,75, 1m75 or 5 pies 9 pulgadas; 175센티 or 5피트 9인치; 1,80 m or 5 Fuß 9 Zoll; 170 cm or 5 kaki 7 inci; 170 سم or 5 قدم 7 بوصة; 180 cm or 5 stóp 11 cali; 1,80 m or 5 piedi e 11 pollici; 1,80 m or 5 voet 11 inch; 1,80 m or 5 picioare și 11 inci) and the country’s adult averages one tap away. A gap between two heights the sources give in whole feet now reads in whole feet too: Mount Rushmore (60 ft) stands 4.6 m (15 ft) above the Hollywood Sign (45 ft), not 4.57 m (15 ft 0 in).
Mount Rushmore Presidential Statue, Hollywood Sign, Los Angeles
· Added
Heightvs in Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese and French: the comparison tool at /pt, /ja and /fr, each with a height difference calculator and a height converter, heights typed the local way (1,75 m and 1m75; 171センチ and full-width digits; 5 pieds 9 pouces) and the country’s measured adult averages one tap away. A height the source gives in whole feet now reads in whole metres beside it, as the source does: Denali is 6,190 m (20,310 ft), the Empire State Building 443 m (1,454 ft).
· Corrected
Denali reads 20,310 ft, the figure the US Geological Survey measured in 2015, instead of 20,308 ft converted back from a rounded 6,190 m; its page and the pages of Everest, K2, Kilimanjaro and Vinson Massif now show how each height was measured over the years. The Sudan figure is now described as NCD-RisC gives it, for Sudan before South Sudan’s independence in 2011.
· Corrected
The NBA and WNBA lists now name the teams each player played for, in the names those teams had at the time: Shawn Bradley’s New Jersey Nets, Elgin Baylor’s Minneapolis / Los Angeles Lakers. Teams a player only coached are no longer listed (Elgin Baylor and the Jazz, Dave Cowens and the Warriors). On comparison pages, “In heels or lifts?” now compares the two people after their lifts when your own height is in the drawing too. Tim Robbins’s 6 ft 5 in and Hugh Jackman’s 6 ft 2 in are now credited to Wikipedia, which gives them.
Shawn Bradley, Elgin Baylor, Dave Cowens, Tim Robbins, Hugh Jackman
· Corrected
Dave Bautista’s 6 ft 4 in (193 cm) is his mixed martial arts listing, not a wrestling billing; WWE’s billed 6 ft 6 in (198.1 cm) is now shown beside it, with WWE as its source. Cameron Skattebo’s 5 ft 11 in is now credited to the New York Giants roster, which gives it. The Poland and Thailand averages are now described as the studies they are (adults aged 45 to 69 in Kraków; students at one university), with the national estimate beside them.
· Corrected
Jadon Sancho’s page carried a vandalised name, Sancho Panza; it now has his name and its own address. Brian Shaw is shown at 6 ft 6¾ in (200 cm), as his source gives it, with his 6 ft 8 in (203.2 cm) strongman listing beside it. J. J. Watt, Deion Sanders and Steve Young keep their listed heights, with their dated combine or scouting heights added. Natalie Portman’s 5 ft 3 in now comes from her own words. Seven heights the source gives in centimetres are back in centimetres: Anna Kournikova 173, Roger Federer 185, Sun Mingming 236, Wladimir Klitschko 198, Jet Li 168, N’Golo Kanté 168 and Miranda Kerr 175 cm. James May and Jacob Bertrand lost their Wikipedia credit, which no longer gives their height.

· Corrected
Jorge González is shown at his true height, 7 ft 7 in (231 cm), with the 8 ft 0 in he was billed at beside it. Stephen Merchant is shown at 6 ft 7 in (201 cm), as his source gives it.
· Added
530 people, the most searched names missing until then, among them the 18 US presidents not yet listed, each with the kind of reading its source gives.
· Withdrawn
Nine licensed film, comic and animation characters: Godzilla (1954 and 2016), Darth Vader, Wolverine, Peppa Pig, Gojo, Goku, Luffy and Levi Ackerman. Their pages now lead to the character height guide.
· Corrected
Tom Welling’s page carried a vandalised name; it now has his name and its own address. Victor Wembanyama’s main height is now the NBA’s 7 ft 4 in listing, with his 2023 barefoot measurement of 7 ft 3.5 in beside it.
· Added
251 dog breeds, measured at the shoulder, from the American Kennel Club (236) and the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (15), with male, female and size ranges kept apart. The Border Terrier and the Finnish Lapphund now follow their breed standards.

· Corrected
54 people whose height was credited to a news or entertainment article now read as a commonly listed height: a person’s height now links only to an official page or Wikipedia. No height changed.
· Added
16 people from history and criminal cases, described factually and kept out of comparisons.
· Corrected
Sources re-checked for 103 people whose height had no visible source or rested only on celebrity-height sites or IMDb: each now shows the publication it comes from and the kind of reading (measured, billed, self-reported or commonly listed), and says where reports differ. One page, D4vd, says that no publication we can cite gives the height.
