We couldn't use "forward" and "right wing" because a right wing is
a
type of forward. Also, they are both centers (another type of forward).

Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Disambiguation in the same category
Well, IMDB does it as [[Petr Sykora (I)]] and [[Petr Sykora (II))]];
their
FAQ says that there's no hard and fast rule how they order them, but
they
try to use one or more of: who is most famous, who came first
chronologically, or who is searched for more often. But in this case,
why
not say [[Petr Sykora (NHL forward)]] and [[Petr Sykora (NHL right
wing]]?

Petr
Sykora. They
are both Czech, both have played in the NHL and both are
notable enough for an article. Do I make the most notable (he already
has an article) [[Petr Sykora]] and the less notable [[Petr Sykora
(2)]]? If not, how do I handle this? Thanks.

Do they have a middle name or initial?
Jay.
