David Jacobs was never knighted based on any source I can find. Please change "Sir David Jacobs" to "David Jacobs".
On the side bar, the 1966 Trampoline World Championships were held in Lafayette, Louisiana, not Tulsa. ^[1] On the side bar, for the 1967 and 1968 World Championships, change "Individual" to "Individual Trampoline" to more clearly describe the event. ^[2] Please change:

to

Add to main body of article that David Jacobs was the Floor Exercise and Trampoline Individual champion in the 1967 NCAA Men's Gymnastics Championships and the Trampoline Individual champion in the 1969 NCAA Men's Gymnastics Championship.^[3] Please add "Representing the University of Michigan, Jacobs won the Individual Floor Exercise and Trampoline events in the 1967 NCAA Men's Gymnastics Championships, as well as the Individual Trampoline event in the 1969 NCAA Men's Gymnastics Championships."

Done: "Sir", Lafayette
Not done: Infobox: Trampoline is mentioned already above in "Men's trampoline gymnastics"; NCAA: The page says "Dave Jacobs", are you sure this is the same person? ◢ Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 22:48, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would you consider this picture to be enough proof? Looks like the same guy to me. Previousrevision (talk) 21:19, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please revert revision 983887594. Revision Link. While the editor may have found the information to be "nonsense" that doesn't make it inaccurate and it is still pertinent to the topic of the article, therefore the information should not be removed.

Impersonator

It has come to our attention that the man on Impractical Jokers was not the real Dave Jacobs. Who does that? 97.124.155.163 (talk) 00:51, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can confirm, the real David A. Jacobs born November 13, 1946 is my uncle and the man in the Impractical Jokers segment is NOT him. 2601:283:5100:11D6:A47E:4AA9:4A13:D44A (talk) 14:56, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
