message: I might be getting something wrong here. The thing is that the article states that Amoruso's second pregnancy was announced in February 2008 and that the baby was born in May 2009. Pregnancy lasts as much as 9 months. Since Feb 08 to May 09, there are 15 months in between. Am I the only one who thinks that there is something wierd behind all these? 95.18.152.247 (talk) 08:36, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Golden Boot 2008 

message: "Del Piero, the Eternal Captain of Juve, is known as Pinturicchio, as Fenomeno Vero, as the Prince... he's adored all over the world as one of the best players ever to play the game. He is the best player in the world!!
Despite an amazing amount of success on the club level, Del Piero had some bad luck playing for the Italian national team though he was still brilliant, just unlucky. Coming into the 1998 World Cup with huge expectations, he competed with fan favorite Roberto Baggio for a spot, and had some troubles because of a recent injury. Del Piero then became the scapegoat for Italy's loss in Euro 2000 final, missing a clear-cut chance. Although he was blamed, it wasn't his fault since he only came off the bench very late and wasn't fit. He then played in the 2002 World Cup,  and scored a crucial World Cup goal against Mexico, but Italy once again exited early. This was very unfortunate since Del Piero was Italy's best player in the tournament."
This article is approaching hagiography. An NPOV check would be a good idea. Estrellador* 12:54, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Removed the following.  Needs to be redone by a non-Del Piero fanboy. 
"World Cup 2006 :
Despite bring the best player in the squad Del Piero finds himself starting on the bench for the World Cup: Del Piero entered as a sub very late in game in the first match vs Ghana. Del Piero entered as a sub at the 54th minute in the second match vs U.S.A, and was Italy's best player almost scoring twice with beautiful shots. It wasn't enough as Italy drew and many are hopeful Del Piero will play even more in the last match of the group stage vs The Czech Republic"

thread_title:  When is St. Del Piero day... 

message: It is retarded to request citations on what Del Piero's mother said or what his father job was.  All these are either part of football lore or publicly well known facts. All these citation requests have tarnished this well written entry and need to be removed. For God shake, is a citation really needed to verify that the knee ligament damage of Del Piero has hindered his carrer from summiting? Or aren't the 19 scored goals in a season (most of them coming from the bench) enoough proof that his form is back in the best. All these citations are not needed and the article has received enough Wikification already. Come on...seriously!!!!  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.218.7.146 (talk • contribs).
No, wikipedia is about verifiability, if it cannot be verified the information herein cannot be verified then it needs to be removed.  "Publicly well known facts" have no place in wikipedia, properly sourced material does. Batman2005 11:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps he is right in a football fan sense, but certainly not in an encyclopedic sense.  Seeing as how this is not a football fan forum or Del Piero fan page, it needs to be encyclopedic, and in an encyclopedia, football lore or well known facts don't suffice.  Either find the citations or it'll be removed. Batman2005 15:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Citations needed

message: I'd suggest some major article revamp: 
*One of Del Piero's greatest strengths as a footballer is his versatility, which allows him to play in a variety of attacking positions. While he started his club career playing as a full-fledged striker, he settled into a more deeper role as a support-striker. [...] --Shouldn't this paragraph be put outside his bio?
*After Euro 2004, Del Piero faced another tough moment after Juventus replaced their Coach Marcello Lippi with Fabio Capello. Capello was not convinced of Del Piero's abilities and favoured the new signing from Ajax, Zlatan Ibrahimović. [...] --What is this paragraph doing inside the international football section?
*Why is the "2006 Season" section outside the bio? 
Article still in need for NPOV check. Gb1291 17:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Please don't change again del piero's stats.
In 1994-1995 he scored 11 goals in the entire season, not 10 goals, becouse UEFA consideres valid the goal against CSKA Sofia scored in the match of 13 semptember 1994, finisched 3-2 for CSKA, but canceled by UEFA for a referee's mistake and so won by Juventus for 3-0. 
So Del Piero scored 321 goals, there are all the sources:

text: In the statistics every goals count as one, if you want to make a good statistics. If you want to take the first link you find only to demonstrate that Del Piero is the best player on the world, sorry but this is a big error because to make a goog statics you have to consider all the Italian football player, not only some of them. Ah, it isn't so difficult to find the goals that Chianglia scored in his career. Restu20 10:26, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: So, I've reported a source that demonstrate Chinaglia scores more goal than Del Piero, so Del Piero is not the third Italian top scorers of all time. It's wrong to put that references because they don't consider Chinaglia and so we have to remove the information about Italian top scorers due to lack of reliable sources. Restu20 10:34, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

text: Yes, because it's a true references. I have a lot of doubts about Gazzetta, Tuttosport and SportMediaset because at 99% they take the news from this blog that is not a reliable sources. And I have another question: why do you have to exclude that type of goal made by Chinaglia? If in the USA have indoor picth, that goal are not valid? Also Pelé's goal in the NASL are not valid? I have demonstrate that the italian references are not reliable, so if you put that statistics you give a wrong information to the reader. Restu20 10:59, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi, I'm sorry but these trophies have to be removed. I try to explane, the U-21 European Championship of 1994 and 1996 had a format the was similar to the 1960 European Championship: there was a qualifying stage, but this phase was part of the European Championship. Because of this strange format just the players that were part of the squad that partecipated to the final stage can be considerated as Champions of Europe. For example I think you know that the 1960 European Championship was won by the USSR, there is a player called Anatoli Ilyin that played for the USSR in the 1960 European Championship but just in the qualifying stage, for this reason he cannot be cosiderated as Champion of Europe, in fact in his voice there is no trace of the victory of the 1960 European Championship. This thinking can be applied to other players that played in the European Championship of the 1960s, for example Francisco Gento or Armando Picchi.
I understand that Alex feels these victories as own (in effect he contributed to the final victory of Italy because he scored some goals on the qualifying stage) but in any official competition a player is considerated winner of the competion just if he partecipated to the final stage, so I don't understand why in this case it is necessary to do an exception. --151.76.71.207 (talk) 19:21, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Should not be displayed as titles he won. These were revoked and are not counted as a Juventus victory. Given official records state that Juventus did not win these two titles, any reference to Del Piero winning them is purely POV. It's not the fault of anyone on Wikipedia's that this 'star' chose to cheat and be part of a team that has been taken to criminal sporting courts for(fortunately for Juve) just the titles of 2005 and 2006 were revoked and not the leagues before that or the Champions League in '96 for the alleged doping of players like Vialli and Del Piero.
