Britpop
Seeing as you think your changes to Britpop should stay, rather than plunge into an edit war, I thought I'd try discussing this.

Basically I think a lot of what you added to this article about Britpop is more about the Blur and Oasis rivalry. Does knowing about Britpop really need us to know that Alex James wore an Oasis shirt during a performance? Is Damon and Noel becoming friends way after 2000 relevant to a movement that was confined to the 1990s? Oasis 'roasting' Blur at the Brit Awards doesn't have much bearing on Britpop as a whole, nor do Definitely Maybe's total sales figures (some of which would've been after 2000).

I was/am willing to keep a few things you added, but I still feel a lot of it's unnecessary or even irrelevant.

 * I didn’t add “roasting” (although I agree with it). Since Britpop was regarded as a “cultural phenomenon”, giving a broader perspective than just ‘X sold this, Y sold that’, I think is appropriate. See the Oasis article, it has a NY Times piece on the band being on the front pages of tabloids as much as royalty. The rivalry ramped up the whole scene tenfold, and performances on the country’s biggest chart show, and awards show, helped fuel it. Rhys Mayall (talk) 13:56, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Pelé
Hi. The story of the ceasefire is not true. It appeared for the first time in a brazilian magazine in the 70s, Pelé believed it (because he didn't see any fire and seemed true) and included it in his two autobiographies. But locals in Nigeria have checked the press of the time and there is no mention of the alleged ceasefire. --Jbaranao (talk) 18:15, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Liverpool
I pinged you on my talk page to have a discussion regarding the lead of Liverpool F.C. See: User talk:9XY. 9XY (talk) 16:18, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

UEFA rankings (Liverpool)
I noticed that most major clubs have UEFA coefficient rankings on there page but Liverpool were an exception. 9XY removed it on the grounds that it was unimportant and biased. however I see nothing wrong with it and if it's not suitable for Liverpool then why is it on all the other club's pages?
