Manuel Neuer never played for Manchester United and is still in Schalke!

Manuel Neuer according to the right hand side of the article already played for ManU in 2011 - that must be a joke by a ManU fan because he is still playing in Schalke and if he goes to another club, ManU is just one option of many. regards DF —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.84.9 (talk) 09:20, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2007-08 Bundesliga season

The article states "He was one of only three Bundesliga players to play every minute in the 2007–08 season". I followed the link to 2007–08 Fußball-Bundesliga, but there was no mention of this fact. So, it needs a reference (and a mention of who the other two players are). Coyets (talk) 09:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neuer confirms that he wants to move to FC Bayern

He confirmed that he will move to a German club. [1] 91.20.92.214 (talk) 23:47, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a sports magazine. Wikipedia deals with facts, not with speculations. Do we have proof that he will move to Bayern Munich? No ("probable" is quite different from "100% sure"). Do we have at least proof that he will leave Schalke? No. After all, his contract runs until 2012. If such a move is confirmed, then it can be added to the article. Until then, it's just speculation. --Jaellee (talk) 10:17, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Manuel Neuer has signed a 5-year contract with Bayern Munich. Can we change his club information? It was confirmed on both clubs websites. (http://www.fcbayern.telekom.de/en/news/news/2011/29734.php)

Histroy of goalkeeper should be seperate from other player

the goalkeeper history record should not have goals scored column .... rather it should have goal scored against and clean-sheet records this would give better understanding of the goalkeepers abilities — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monish.mhatre (talk • contribs) 14:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Manuel Neuer/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: NiciVampireHeart (talk · contribs) 16:30, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quck fail criteria

Has reliable sources
Is written neutrally
No valid cleanup tags
Is relatively stable with no edit wars
Not specifically concerned with a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint

Full review to follow. NiciVampireHeart 16:30, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Full review: GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

1a Prose

Needs a good copyedit here. Examples of poor prose in the first section "Schalke 04":
- "Neuer signed professional terms in 2005 after progressing through every age group at his hometown club." - Sentence is backwards really (should be childhood team, then pro). Signed professional terms with which club? Which club was his hometown club? Was his hometown club the same one he signed with professionally?
- "he came on to substitute the injured Frank Rost" – should be substitute for.
- "crunch clash"
- "he announced that he will not be extending his contract with Schalke" - why is this still in present tense when it occurred more than 2 years ago?
- "He earned criticism by Schalke-fans". Should be "from" not by, no hyphen between Schalke and fans, and is "earned" really the most appropriate word here?
I've only listed the first sectionexamples here, but the entire article really should be copyedited as the poor prose continues the whole way through.
Note, tv shows and movies should be italicised.

1B MOS compliance

Fails WP:LEDE. Needs to be expanded.

2a References

Last two pargraphs of Bayern Munich section unreferenced.
Direct quotes need sources (ie "sensational" in Euro 2012 section).
Euro 2012 and Honors sections needs more references.
Dead links need to be sorted.

2b Reliable sources

What makea inside World Soccer a reliable source?
Ditto: ghanaweb, transfermarkt.de, DFB.de, kicker.de, welt.de, reviersport.de, Online.de.
Is manuel-neuer.com his official website or a fansite? If the latter, it is not a reliable source and should be removed.

3a Broad

The sections are all rather sparse. Some more information should be added just to expand it out a little and improve the overall flow of the article.
"In November 2011, Neuer won €500,000 for his foundation" - what foundation? This is the first and only mention of it in the article. More information please.

4 Neutrality

"He did not disappoint"
"heroics"
"The game featured great play from both keepers"
"he was especially praised for his "sensational" performance."
"like many other notable footballers, such as Mesut Özil."

5 Images

Copyright info and captions are good. While not a requirement for GA, I recommend adding alt text.

While there is a lot to be done, with a concerted effort I feel the article can attain GA status.
I am placing this article on hold for seven days to allow you to fix the problems listed. If the work is completed before then, I will pass the article before the seven days are up. If no attempts are made to correct the problems, I will fail the article in seven days. If you are not finished within the seven days, I have no problem in extending the hold period to allow you to finish, as long as I see work is being carried out on the article.
To make it easier for me to see how much work has been done, please either strike each comment when the problem has been fixed or post a note underneath each item saying it is completed.
Feel free request to clarification on anything; you can leave comments on my talk page or here, as I have this page watchlisted.

Fail

Unfortunately I am failing this article. No improvements have been carried out since the review 7 days ago, and as such the article does not meet the WP:GA criteria. NiciVampireHeart 20:25, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request, April 30, 2014

Could something about Neuer's support to gay footballers be added? and if so, should category Category:LGBT rights activists from Germany be considered? Thank you. --Japanesehelper (talk) 18:28, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Include match played in all competitions rather thab just league matchs.

If you mean the infobox then you should discuss this at Template talk:Infobox football biography and not on the talkpage of a specific player. --Jaellee (talk) 18:46, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
