Talk:Martin Johnson (rugby union)

message: I have moved the paragraph on the "ireland issue" to the bottom of the article. Irrespective of it's bias it does not belong at the top of the article. It is a small side point and as such it's place is at the foot of the article.

replies: text: Broddo if you go back to the edit on 2 March 2006 you will see the wording of the original entry which appears to be more accurate and impartial.
Have just checked that out. Well, perhaps when I revise this, I'll use most of the wording from the March 2nd version, although there is still some inaccuracy within that. Basically, I want the facts there, without opinion - i.e. lets present what happened without commenting on who was right or wrong. (if that's possible) - now, does anyhone want to help open this cans of worms I've just picked up?? Broddo 21:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Well it is a touchy one isnt it. However  it was a pretty significant event at the time as I would say it deserves to be mentioned here without any bias. To leave it out would be like mentioning Tana Umaga and ommiting 'that' tackle or ignoring Scott Quinell's addiction to pies. Adam777 21:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Considering that MJ had played at Landsdowne Road before and the team positions were supposed to be identical to each of the prior occasions then I think 'customary' is the correct use of language. This wasnt his first rodeo, however the paragraph is neutral enough. Adam777 21:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Obvious bias in this article 

message: Hello there, how are you? Right then, one would assume that as a wikipedia editor that you would be committed to adding neutral, balanced material to Wikipedia...or we could all behave like you pal.
So if you want to revert to your racist postings PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue to do so. As for the issue in question please provide me with one single article nay-saying the information I added. Johnsons PERCERVIED sunb of the Irish President was big news in 2003 and your racist labeling of 'Irish Whinging' doesnt do wikipedia any good.
I look forward to discussing this issue with you like adults (that means grown ups). Wikiepedia asks that we discuss our difference of opinion. I have reported the 2003 controversy in what I consider to be neutral language, if you wish to validate your claim of 'Irish Whinging' then I look forward to your reply.

thread_title:  Hello Duncharris 

message: I've removed the POV statements in the header which laud Johnson as the greatest Rugby player/captain/forward of all time.  If someone has a noteworthy source which lists him as one of the greats, we can add a statement along the lines of: "Source listed Johnson as the greatest lock forward of all time".  Until this happens, the article should not have such a blatent bias in the header, even with tags. →Bobby← 16:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anyone find a contemporary source for the claim that all the gate receipts from Johnno's testimonial went to charity?  The only one I can find is clearly a copy and paste from this wikipedia article.  THe nearest I can find is here: Here which says "A healthy percentage of the Twickenham gate receipts will go towards the three charities closest to Johnson's heart - the NSPCC, the Macmillan Cancer Relief fund and Sparks,"
That's clearly not the same thing as "all of the gate receipts" which the article says.Skeene88 (talk) 13:19, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
