message: Terms have been agreed between the teams, according to the Real Madrid website, they do not say the player has signed a contract they say he will sign and the player is in South Africa and highly unlikely to sign a contract until he returns. Until he signs a contract officially he is a Benfica player and the article should show him as such until we have a reliable citation that he is official not a benfica player.

message: Can't you just discuss the matter here or on your talkpage(s) instead of moving it 267 times? I go with di Maria btw. Kante4 (talk) 17:57, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you help me? This guy insists that it's Ángel Di María when it's Ángel di María. Also, I included in the last move that it would be better to discuss. The user who keeps switching it to Ángel Di María also keeps citing player profiles as sources, when they aren't always true to the name's proper form. I'd like this to be settled here because it's gotten really, really annoying. Italia2006 (talk) 19:50, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I only know him with di Maria. If you just call him by his last name, it's Di Maria of course. But the article should be "di". Kante4 (talk) 21:49, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

text: You didn't provide any reliable sources for Ángel di María. The Google database just takes the name from Wikipedia and will be updated in a month or so after this page will have been moved. Real Madrid Website uses both (, ), but his official Twitter account uses exclusively a capital D, as well as the official site of the Argentine Soccer Assosiacion (, , , ,  ...) and his FIFA profile and news. --Komischn (talk) 11:41, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Is evidence that he plays as a winger or central midfielder rather than attacking midfielder as stated in the article.

message: All three sources, from broadsheet newspapers, refer to his transfer as breaking the "British transfer record". As I said in one summary, this is the WP:COMMONNAME as for much of footballing history the English and Scottish leagues were financially equal. tAD (talk) 21:39, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: English clubs play in the English Premier League, play in cup competitions organised by the English FA, and represent England in UEFA club competitions. Why say he plays for "English team Manchester United" but that he broke the "British record". Bit confusing for those not knowledgeable, which is who the target audience is. Why stop at British? Why ignore Northern Ireland? Why ignore Eire? Why not go all out and say Northern Europe? RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 22:36, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The simple answer "why" is that the sources say "British record", just as sources on Celtic's 1967 team (skippered by a fella with your name phonetically) would call them "the first British club to win the European Cup". That wouldn't make people's heads explode and neither does this tAD (talk) 23:20, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, the sources all mention that it's a British record. Perhaps if Scotland gains independence they won't be so quick to do so in the future, but while the United Kingdom remains intact, sources will continue to lump them all in together. – PeeJay 23:55, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: All three references state 'British transfer record' and editors on this talk page and WT:FOOTY supports the use of the term. As such, please respect the consensus taken. LRD NO (talk) 00:30, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: None of you have really explained why he plays for "English team Manchester United" but set the "British record". Should we change it to "British team Manchester United"? Football doesn't use political boundaries, so that's just being daft. If we're going off exactly what these newspapers say, we should revert the name of the article back to di María (Rather than Di María) as those sources use a lowercase d in his name. Who wants to do the honours? RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 01:00, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: And while you're at it, let's change Celtic F.C.'s lead calling them both a "Scottish club" and "first British club to win the European Cup". It's not as mind-boggling as you make out and unlikely to disturb any reader who knows that England is part of Britain tAD (talk) 01:07, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Who said it was mind-boggling? I merely stated you should write for an audience uninitiated in football, and using "English team" and "British record" could easily be misconstrued. You're right, this isn't mind-boggling, it's common sense to write for an knowledgeable reader. Maybe I should go on Radamel Falcao's article and say his transfer was the most expensive in Monegasque history. You know, to keep it consistent with this "British record" nonsense. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 01:51, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Surname 

message: The article isn't correctly structured, with sentences left incomplete (for example, after the "He is known for his big clutch matches sentence").
Additionally, I propose it the sentence should be structured as follows-
He is widely considered as one of greatest players of his generation and one of the greatest Argentine footballers of all time. He is also known for his ability to score in matches of high importance (such as title deciding matches), be it for club or country, having been awarded man of the match for his performances in the 2014 Champions League Final, and the 2021 Copa America final. 
He has also scored in every major tournament final that Argentina have played and won since 2021 Copa America, including the 2022 World Cup and the 2022 CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions. Aryan0230 (talk) 15:50, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
