David Opoku edits
Thank you for your recent edits made to David Opoku. However, please note that without corresponding reliable citations, the edits are subject to removal as all facts must be verifiable. Cases in point:


 * Time at Achimota School, Chelsea Academy, and Liberty Professionals added without references
 * Additional goal added to UCSB statistics incorrect changed per these sources
 * MYPA statistics incorrectly changed per this source
 * Additional goal added to total of IF Gnistan unsourced
 * Use of biased language in Sanat Mes Kerman F.C. line ("Iranian club" - factual, "Iranian giants" - conjecture) which is to be avoided per Wikipedia policy
 * No evidence of competitive playing time for Ghanaian U23s
 * Cross reference of Transfermarkt, which is not used as a reliable source

Please let me know if you have any additional comments or need assistance in rectifying these issues.

— GauchoDude (talk) 22:04, 10 September 2014 (UTC) * sorry I didn't cite them, I have checked and done accordingly, thank you.


 * Thanks for the updates. Some should certainly be kept, but some I still have minor concerns.


 * This article makes mention to his time at Chelsea's youth set up, but no mention of Liberty Professionals, therefore I've left the Chelsea mention but removed Liberty. It appears as though he was never signed with Chelsea, only trained, so I've removed both clubs from the infobox.  The source makes me wary, however, as they appear to get his name incorrect.  This is not a valid source so has been removed from the article.
 * I've left "After a few months of trials" per the original document instead of your revision "After a few training sessions" regarding his search for a professional team as the former is cited in this article.
 * I've removed the goal you added to his MYPA infobox as only domestic results (league matches and goals) are placed there and not other competition (Europa league, domestic and international cups, etc.). Per your citing, I've left the mention in the article though.
 * I've added a more reputable link to show his time with Sanat Mes Kerman F.C.. It lists him as having a goal I believe, not an assist.  I've edited the section to reflect that.


 * I hope that helps a bit and I look forward to working with you to improve this article.

 * - I agree with what you've said but his Europa league qualifier appearance and goal count and is equally important as his veikkausliga appearances and should definitely count and be put in the infobox. You find other players having all competitive stats In their info boxes.

Thank you for ur help and updates.
 * he trained with Mypa for two weeks before agreeing a deal with them.
 * he hardly played as a striker in Finland till he was loaned out to gnistan IF.
 * he played for liberty professionals in Accra before he left for England (I'll find appropriate citation for that).


 * I agree that Cups and Tournaments outside of league competition are vitally important, however per WikiProject Football and mentioned here and here, only domestic leagues count for the infobox. This is why I left the note in the article, but removed the statistic from the box.  In fact, at the bottom of every infobox, it states "Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only and correct as of ..." by default.  If you research any player, this is the norm.


 * If you can find a reliable source stating that he's trained for a few weeks prior signing with MYPA, we can add that. The reference I've provided states months.  This could mean at other clubs prior to his time at MYPA, however it's the only reliable source we currently have.  The same goes to finding a source for not playing as a striker at MYPA.


 * I hope you do not take this personally as that's not my intent. I only want the David Opoku page, just like any of the former UCSB Gauchos pages to be created as best as possible.  I look forward to continually working with you throughout the remainder of his career and certainly feel free to chip in to any of the other Gauchos' pages if you have time.
