David Beckham
I'd like to put this on FAC, so I'd like to hear any reasons people would have for opposing if it was on there so I can get things fixed beforehand. I'm aware that a free or fair use image is needed to replace the one at the top of the page, but is there anything else that needs doing? CTOAGN (talk) 15:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

for starters IMO he needs a list of the honours he's won and a statistical season by season breakdown, probably in the form of a table. As a footballer, there's suprisingly little detail of his 10 year plus career... aLii 16:47, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * oh and the References/notes sections need sorting out. As it stands the References are actually a bibliography and the notes are actually (mostly) references. I had corrected this once before, but I guess you changed it all back. For the record I didn't delete any sources as you claim in the talk page, I merely reorganised them slightly. Also you don't seem to understand what references are. aLii 16:54, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Please provide WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also WP:CITE/ES; templates like and  may be useful here.

One of the images is unsourced and going to be deleted, another's licence looks doubtful. Conscious 06:52, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Per WP:MOS, headings generally do not start with the word "The". For example,  ==The Biography==  would be changed to  ==Biography== .

 * As a minor note, it'd be nice to fill the 'pcupdate' parameter in the infobox. Conscious 06:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I see no major issues. One or two minor things:
 * Subsection headers are overused, as several of them are only one or two paragraphs.
 * " played in centre-midfield for the UEFA Champions League final as United's first choice centre-midfielders were suspended for the match." A picky one, but it doesn't mention anywhere above that Beckham usually played on the right. I tried changing it, but succeeded only in breaking the flow of the sentence.
 * The quotations probably belong on Wikiquote rather than here.
 * There's a couple of places where I don't neccessarily agree with the wording, but my POV on issues relating to Beckham's former club is well documented :) Oldelpaso 11:13, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
