Luc van Laetham: The "van" part in these names can often be rendered with both a lower or upper case v. David Singmaster used the lower case. However performing a Google search for the "van Laethem" name seems to reveal that "Van Laethem" is often preferred to "van Laethem". I can't say for certain

Anyway I've restored two names - Ken'ichi Ueno and Luc Van Laethem - back to what they were, since the WCA form of the names are clearly just as valid. I think the changes I made to the other five names are correct, however I don't have ideal references for József Borsos or Piotr Serbeński.

website - one of the earliest Rubik's Cube websites on the internet dating to 1995. It closely matches the WCA list with the same spelling mistakes and lack of accents excepting Zoltán Lábas. I think someone in the early 2000's entered that list, or one very like it into the WCA database.
624:
Three names Jérôme Jean-Charles, Eduardo Valdivia Chacón, and József Borsos, are missing accents on the WCA list. These are all trivial. David Singmaster seems to have avoided using these accents (hard to type them back then) in his 1982 list (except oddly for Zoltán Lábas).
722:
Finally I'll mention where I think the WCA may have got their list from. They obviously didn't use Singmaster's 1982 Cubic Cicular list now on Jaap's site. But there are two other very early internet lists for the 1982 world championship (neither of them perfect). One is

is the correct form of the name within Poland. I think Singmaster spelling is correct again, but he's once again missed out an accent. The WCA on the other hand has included the accent but got the spelling
294: 709:
Piotr Serbeński: This is a slightly trickier one. Although the WCA lists him under "Sebeński". David Singmaster in 1982 calls him "Serbenski". The variant "Sebenski" does seem to exist, at least

Ronald Brinkmann: This confusion about whether he is Ronald or Roland is a long-standing one. The main reasons I think he's Ronald is the following:
