Talk:Trevor Ford

Footballers
Before making any changes to articles, please read the MOS at WikiProject Football/Players on how articles should be laid out. These are the standard guidelines that have been reached via consensus and used on literally tens of thousands of pages.

 * A link is prima facie an easter egg link if you cannot reasonably create a redirect page that does the same thing. Footballer redirects to Football player -- redirecting by internal link to association football is an easter egg link.
 * Let's look at the gammar of the sentence: "Trevor Ford ... was a Welsh professional footballer and Wales international." The "and" there means that the sentence should logically be able to be written as "Trevor Ford ... was a Wales international." Does that make sense to you? How is that even grammatical? Also, a claim that it is "standard formatting" is not enough.  Show that it is standard formatting.  Link to the specific guidelines, or link to other articles that use the same formatting. I have seen no other football player's article with such an ungrammatical lead sentence.  So far, you have just been making the claim without any backup. LK (talk) 01:04, 7 May 2017 (UTC)


 * BTW, since you have included this same sentence structure in a number of articles, I'm starting a discussion about this issue here on the Wikiproject Football. Please move the discussion there. LK (talk) 01:53, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
