in career statistics the subtotal bar (which includes bundesliga and championship contributions) is only reflecting bundersliga contributions, therefore the 2 sub totals (prem and other) do not add up to the lowest level values in the table. You need to add in a 3rd subtotal line for championship / league one contributions 57.140.20.51 (talk) 08:24, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To explain why the table looks as it is right now, these total rows are for the same team (Tottenham and Bayern Munich are the only two teams which need them since he hay played for more than a season). The other four teams he has played for were for at most one season so they don't need these total rows. Adding totals for each division participated does not apply.

Watford and Arsenal player categories

Are these types of categories really meant for youth level? I mean, he was not even a teenager when he belonge to these clubs. I don't think it should be used in that way. OscarL 12:10, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What's going on with the "Regarded as [one of] the best x of y" summations in footballer article ledes?

The opening paragraph of the article used to state:

Kane is regarded as one of the best players in the world and one of the best strikers of his generation.

This is still entirely supportable (arguably more so than ever given that he just placed within the top 10 at the Ballon D'Or and won multiple Europe-wide awards last season), but I understand the contentiousness of these sentences and their strange ubiquitousness. I've seen this construct removed from a few footballers' pages now, but it's very inconsistently applied. Is this some new policy? How is it to be applied? And should we be removing it from every footballer's page? What are the guidelines here?

If anything, the current lede understates Kane's level of standing within the footballing world, especially relative to other footballers who haven't had this wording extirpated. Elliott-AtomicInfinity (talk) 03:56, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For you to remove this description implies that it must be a universal rule to remove such words as "among the greatest". I would suggest using the term "among the most skilled" or "among the most successful" as alternate descriptions. Certainly, the term "the greatest" is not a term with a defined meaning.

I suspect that there will be some upset people when we remove such descriptions universally. Tennisedu (talk) 05:48, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tennisedu It is absolutely fine to use "the best" or "the greatest" if there are multiple reliable sources using that term. This is why your changes have been reverted at the Ronaldo and Messi articles, where there are such sources (the phrasing there has been the subject of much discussion as well). Equally, if you're going to change it to "most skilled" or "most successful", then you'll need to source that phrasing as well. Black Kite (talk) 09:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All terms such as "the greatest" or "the greatest in the world" have already been long since removed from other sports articles such as tennis, where there was extensive discussion about this issue a few years ago. It was determined that the term was essentially without any defined meaning and was simply a "puff" term and should not appear in the lead. For example, in the Djokovic article, the term "most successful" is used. Further, you are suggesting that footnotes be used in the lead to support this? That is another issue of contention. If the statements are supported by references in the body of the article, it is not necessary to use them in the lead. In the final analysis, we should not have a different set of rules for each sport. Tennisedu (talk) 16:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
