A little more perspective
The Guinness record page gives 251 centimeters measured in Ankara on February 8, 2011. That dated measurement replaces the earlier 246.5-centimeter figure for this record; it is not presented as a new measurement on the source-review date.
I use the existing generic human figure to show the sourced vertical size. This illustration does not reconstruct the person’s body proportions or footwear. The cited account does not specify footwear for the selected measurement, so no shoe-height correction is applied.
