Untitled[edit]

Wow, everyone got started really quickly...I'll leave you all to it :-) Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 16:35, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What height and weight is he??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.252.58.136 (talk) 18:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That sort of information is not typically released for players under the age of 18, and the same is true of Macheda. – Pee Jay 18:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by him standing side by side with Ronaldo when Ronny made it 2-2, he looks only about 5 ft 9

There's no way he's only 5 ft 9, he's at least 5 ft 11 if not 6ft —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.252.58.136 (talk) 03:49, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And this is exactly why we shouldn't guess at things like this. People will always guess at different numbers and we'll end up with an edit war on our hands. Wait until we can source his height properly. – Pee Jay 07:49, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

watch the timing of edits[edit]

i have just come to this page, and the game today hadn't even finished, but the text said macheda's goal had won man utd the game. please wait until the final whistle until editing like that... 77.97.18.22 (talk) 16:56, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's alright now Spiderone (talk) 17:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Low Importance??[edit]

He won the game today...doesn't that make him quite important? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.213.97.190 (talk) 20:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've amended it to Mid as he has appeared in a top-level league. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:34, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No need for exaggeration[edit]

"With United 2–1 down and needing a goal to keep their title campaign alive"

United didn't need a goal to keep their title campaign alive. Had they lost they would have been 2 points behind Liverpool but with a game in hand. --Eclipse76 (talk) 10:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried editing this before, but it was reverted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lykil (talk • contribs) 13:51, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to change this too, but it was changed back. I disagreed with the statement, but I think his article really needs to capture how important his goal was. Let's face it, the reason he now has a decent entry is solely the importance of that goal.

It's been changed now. But the reason that he has a decent entry is that I spent a fair amount of time pre-writing an article for him before he made his debut. Yes, I'm claiming credit for the quality of this article. You're welcome. – Pee Jay 15:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should write about controversies[edit]

Look here! I think we should write about Claudio Lotito's words.--Andrea 93 (msg) 14:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing controversial here. Lotito is just miffed that Italy has different laws to the UK. – Pee Jay 19:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by wikipedia[edit]

This guy has done more in his career than Gary Pallister... 82.13.161.114 (talk) 00:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's your point? – Pee Jay 00:09, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That it's currently a great, balanced, well referenced article (and at a quick glance, a lot of credit goes to you for that). And given the lad's ability and the sheer number of editors involved with it, vandalism notwithstanding I've no doubt it will remain so. But that, more generally, it says a lot for wikipedia.

This certainly isn't a sleight on yourself, Manchester United or even world class atheletes. There are far more blatant examples lower down the tree. It just saddens me the way wiki has gone over the past year or two. 82.13.161.114 (talk) 00:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stats please? I've been waiting for the page to be update on his height.62.173.34.38 (talk) 18:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you could help find it somewhere? Information like that isn't always easily available for 17 year olds who have been first team players for a week. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:10, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Honours[edit]

Does he not have any honours? --92.6.236.20 (talk) 23:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not as a senior player. He didn't play in the League Cup this season, so didn't get a medal for that, and he played less than 10 games in the Premier League, so he wasn't eligible for a medal in that. – Pee Jay 23:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Present/future tense[edit]

Not sure how it needs to be reworded, and I understand that it's all official etc, but it currently reads a bit odd that his contract "WAS released at the end of his contract" when we're still a month away from that happening. I know he's leaving, I'm not arguig that point, but it just seems as if the wording is ready for July 1st already. 81.132.108.246 (talk) 20:54, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He has already been released, that is confirmed, but the contract doesn't expire until 1 July, as you say. It may read a little strangely, but I think it makes sense if you break it down. – Pee Jay 21:17, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
