Talk:Bobby Charlton

message: In the popular culture section it mentions him being interviewed and profiled in the Mayday/Air Crash Investigation documentary about the Munich Air disaster. This is not accurate. Harry Gregg was the only survivor/player interviewed for the program. This should be corrected but the page is protected.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.220.41.89 (talk) 02:14, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

message: It failed for these reasons :
* Could this line, One of his uncles, the Newcastle United centre forward Jackie Milburn, was a professional footballer, but it was Charlton's mother Cissie who coached him at first. His elder brother, Jack, went to work as a miner and applied to join the police before also becoming a footballer., be rephrased. Or maybe give some reason why is his uncle mentioned ... was he his mentor, his helper or coach.
* The article needs a copyediting.
* The article needs more references.

message: I have frequently had to revert edits trying to change the Man U goals in the info box from 199 to 249, having failed to read the note which says " * Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only ".  I have now put in a comment hoping to dissuade such edits.  As a matter of curiosity I looked at the table of appearances and goals at Bobby Charlton#Club and realised that the totals don't agree with the sum of the relevant columns.  For example, for 1967-68 the totals of the relevant columns come to 52 appearances and 18 goals, not 54 and 20.  There are 3 other years where the appearances totals don't agree with the sum of the relevant columns.  Unfortunately I can't see a source for the data.  I did find a source which confirmed the 758 appearances, rather than the 753 which the columns would give, and of course the 249 goals (not 247 from the columns) is frequently mentioned in the context of Rooney reaching the same.  I wonder therefore whether there are other categories of match not listed in the existing columns?  Does anyone know what the source of the data would be?  --David Biddulph (talk) 21:48, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The table was missing a column for "other" matches (i.e. the Charity Shield and the Intercontinental Cup), that's why there was a discrepancy. The maths should all add up now. – PeeJay 23:02, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for that.  Makes sense now. --David Biddulph (talk) 06:47, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

text: Why arbitrarily decide to limit his totals to those in domestic leagues? Everyone else is counting all goals (as illustrated by the omnipresent international coverage occasioned by Rooney's surpassing him), and the fact that you have had many revisions likely means that your artificial restriction makes no sense. It makes more sense to comport the summary table to the detailed table lower on the page.  The summary table that you keep reverting is not what it appears to be; it is not a table of appearances and goals. It is a table of some of his appearances and some of his goals. Which is why people keep changing it. BTW: he is playing in cup and other competitions based on his and his team's participation in the domestic league, representing the domestic league and, therefore, FOR the domestic league so even with the arbitrary construct that you have created, your totals are wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.126.107.6 (talk) 03:04, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  The usage here is consistent with that on the pages for other players (including Wayne Rooney).  The relevant definition is at WP:WikiProject Football/Players, and if you wish to suggest changes the place to do so would be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Players. --David Biddulph (talk) 08:26, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
