Captaincy in opening sentence (VVD, Kyle Walker)[edit]

I added the fact Kyle Walker is captain for Man City to his page, and it got reverted. Is it just for the national team that a player is given credit for being a captain? Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe, Kane, all of them have it in the opening paragraph.


I think a similar thing happened with VVD, I edited his opening to say he's a captain, and it got reverted. (Even though everyone else has it)

Why? Char3290 (talk) 01:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

looking at Pepe's page, it appears he has Porto's captaincy shown in the opening statement. I mean this in no aggressive or disrespectful way, but we should atleast try to show consistency between pages, no? The vast majority of pages show captaincy in the opening paragraph.

@Char3290: For me, being a team captain isn't notable enough to mention in the opening sentence of the lead, which should establish who the subject is and why they're notable. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, no agression, but want to help me go through every club captains page and remove it from their opening sentence to make this statement consistent? Char3290 (talk) 01:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Eriksen[edit]

Hello, I added the 2022/23 league cup to Christian Eriksen's honours list and then you removed my edit. Here is an interview from the man himself back in april 2023 stating that he would be recieving a medal: https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/christian-eriksen-tells-utd-podcast-about-missing-the-carabao-cup-final

“I haven’t got it yet, no,” admits a smiling Christian in our UTD Podcast. “I’m supposed to get one. I will get a medal at some point.”

That interview was over a year ago so I think it is reasonable to assume he would have received it by now. He played in every round before the final so why wouldn't united give him one? Andrew701 (talk) 23:45, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
