Nürburgring in Nürburg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany

[Emaster]

This Wikipedia article confirms that the Nürburgring is located in Nürburg, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, not in Nuremberg, Bayern, Germany as BoxRec claims.

Is Wikipedia not a valid source?

The location entry now reads Nuerburgring race track, Nuerburg. Umlaute could be used, which would result in: "Nürburgring race track, Nürburg".

Also, the false entry has not been removed yet (only the data).

Our system is based on the English language. Umlaute like ä, ü, ö result in a display of question marks on some users screens which is why we avoid them.

That's plausible. On the other hand, the city of Dusseldorf has been transformed into Düsseldorf some time ago so that I thought BoxRec was in the process of using umlaut characters wherever they originally occur.

The database search does not function on non alphabet characters is the German u umlaut does not match the English u. So it's vital in some areas (boxers names) to clean the data, in other areas it is not so important at the moment.

This error still needs fixing.
