message: Many of the recent edits to the Liverpool section are poorly formatted and/or show a non-neutral point of view.
#Unless the Liverpool section becomes very large, I see no reason to have sub-sections for each season.
#If the sub-sections are kept, the headings should be re-styled as "2014–15" and "2015–16" rather than "2014–2015" and "2015–2016".
#The article is written in British-English. Thus "defense" should be amended to "defence".
#The expression "season's end" is poor English and should be changed to "the end of the season".
#Numbers less than ten should be spelled out – thus "seven points" not "7 points", "six goals" not "6 goals".
#The tone of the section appears to blame Lovren for all of Liverpool's poor results; as  football is a team game, the whole team is responsible for defeats and takes the credit for victories. Lovren may have missed his spot-kick in a penalty shoot-out, but I'm sure that was not the only reason Liverpool lost. 
#Likewise, his goal against Swansea City didn't "win the match" on its own.
#The second sentence of the second paragraph of the "2014–2015" section ("However, following his poor performance in a league defeat to Manchester United Lovren was dropped from the first team.") needs citation.
#I'm not sure of the relevance of the word "routinely" in the first sentence of the last paragraph of the "2014–2015" section. This sentence also needs separate citation.
As a non-registered user (who has no intention of becoming one), I cannot make these edits myself, so can someone take a look and, if you agree, make them for me.  Thanks.   92.26.166.26 (talk) 14:18, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Partly done: I took out the subheadings (rendering #2 moot), and also corrected 3-5 and a couple of other things I noticed. I have not completed 6-9 – while you have valid points, I don't know enough about the sport to know where to look for citations, or the wording to use for a rewrite. Please feel free to provide more specific requests here on the talk page and reopen the request as needed.

replies: text: . I removed/edited points 6 & 9. Added citation for 8. Point 7, I changed to game-winner, not that controversial and a goal scored in injury time of a tie game is routinely referred to as the game-winning goal. I think most of the points are negative because he had a pretty poor season. Even this season he started the first 3 games and then was dropped again. If you're performing well then you are not dropped. I'm only adding info to the season as it happens.--Shreerajtheauthor (talk) 22:45, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed thesportbible.com, which isn't even remotely a reliable source, let alone for critical material in a BLP, and rewritten the bit about worst signings with clear attribution to the Telegraph website feature. The LFC fanblog used for the next para isn't exactly RS either, nor does it verify all the content, but that content isn't as problematic, so I've left it for now and hopefully someone with more knowledge of the subject can replace it with something more reliable. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:15, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I'm surprised that this has more lines than Lovren's entire month of football matches at the world: "During the tournament he sparked an incident after he celebrated Croatia's World Cup victory over Argentina by singing Marko Perković's "Bojna Cavoglave" in the locker room, a nationalist song adopted by far-right elements in modern Croatia. The song contains the phrase Za dom - spremni! (Ready for the homeland!), the slogan associated with the World War II-era Nazi-allied Ustashe, though these verses did not appear in the video." 
I googled news stories on this and found very few articles on a so-called "incident". probably because there is none. It seems more like a personal need for someone to add rather than Wikipedia:Relevance, especially since subject only has 2 lines on the world cup itself.
