Talk:Kara Lang

NPOV
The "Playing style" section is not only written like a promotional team pamphlet, but is almost completely uncited as well. Saying that someone is "well-known" for anything requires a citation (what qualifies as "well-known?"). Readers should be able to let the facts speak for themselves whether or not her free kick is "devastating". "Her size and strength along with sheer determination makes Lang a powerful force for opposing defenders to deal with' is not an encyclopedic treatment of a subject at all. Similarly, phrases such as "Lang is known as a modest and humble figure, and is well-respected by coaches, teammates, and fans around the world" and "With such admirable qualities, Lang has become a fan favourite and a role model for many young girls in Canada" need to be cleaned up. Now, I have nothing against Ms. Lang and I'm sure she's wonderful, but this encyclopedic must adhere to a neutral (and cited) treatment of every subject from Mother Teresa to Jeffrey Dahmer. For that reason, I am going to allow for a week for someone to provide citations for the claims made in that section, after which point I will clean them up myself.

 * Since no one commented within the span of a week, I have removed the section. It may be readded only under the condition that it is properly cited and that all material falls within acceptable range of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policies. Cheers, CP 21:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

New info box needed
I think there should be a different info box for Kara Lang, as the current one is a college info box, and she's much more significant as an international player. However, her college career should not be neglected, but the standard football player info box (as used on, say, Mia Hamm's page, doesn't have spaces for including a player's college. Not sure what to do here. Suggestions? Trb333 (talk) 16:13, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Career international goals
On July 23, 2007 Kara Lang played the USA under-20 team in the semi-final of the Pan-Am games. If this match is excluded from her caps; then the goal scored should also be excluded. Therefore, Kara Lang has 92 caps by the same standard as applied to Christine Sinclair and the rest of the team who played in that match. Without the goal scored in the same match, Lang scored 34 goals and not 35 goals as indicated on CanadaSoccer.com on her profile page - Harvardton (talk) 16:02, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

If the match on July 23, 2007 is included then Kara Lang has 93 caps and not 92. If it is not included then Kara Lang scored 34 goals and not 35. So, did Kara Lang score 34 goals or has 93 caps? Harvardton (talk) 04:27, 19 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Bottom line Kara Lang shouldn't be credited with anything from that game, I support the adjustment. --Nonc01 (talk) 19:50, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
