The initial 35 to 55 player squads had to be registered with fifa until October 20th, not November 14th as it is in the article Talesin (talk) 13:02, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. MadGuy7023 (talk) 13:19, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Iran

Is the Iranian entry correct, 5 goalkeepers. Japhes 5005 2A00:23C7:A0BA:E001:1469:BDA9:E0D0:E97B (talk) 14:29, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not final squad. Red Devil (talk) 17:38, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Player list by league system

Why player list by league system have 544 players in total? It must be multiple of 26 (Final squad length of a team) Sherifkk (talk) 14:54, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Red Devil: How is this table even generated? If it is just you going through the tables then it seems a bit WP:ORish / WP:SYNTHy. Are there any RSes that show the same data, as that is far more preferable than relying on a random person's counting skills? Spike 'em (talk) 16:55, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I use Excel for that ;) For now there's no official counting, after the deadline (13th November) FIFA may prepare some statistics, and then there will be sourcing and everything :) Red Devil (talk) 17:37, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you understand WP:NOR is a fundamental rule on wikipedia? This section should be removed until it can be sourced. Spike 'em (talk) 17:41, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's better to have a peaceful solution, but i do agree with the point raised by Spike 'em. The following point on WP:OR states: "The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist. This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources. To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article and directly support the material being presented." Despite the section currently being highly/mostly accurate, it fits indeed in an original research description. Although i like this kind of data, it would be better to only introduce it when properly/reliably sourced. ~~ Skydream1721 (talk) 18:13, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm an amateur editor, but I get the concept. I understand your point, but this is simple calculations, so I didn't think it needed a source - in this case I believe all sources that give NT squads are the source for our statistics. But if it's a problem, then we can probably wait until Monday-Tuesday, when official stats will be available. We can look for another solution, however before we come to conclusions, I believe the matter will no longer exist, as there will be a FIFA source. Peace! Red Devil (talk) 19:52, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've just had a look, and according to page, 22 teams have announced their final squads. This should be a total of 572 players, but the 2 lists total 571. Where can I check the figures against to see which (team / league's) player is missing? Spike 'em (talk) 17:03, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's France. Red Devil (talk) 17:34, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

دانمارک

لیست دانمارک ناقص است 94.24.90.48 (talk) 17:26, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

تنص مقدمة الفريق على أن اللاعبين الخمسة الآخرين الذين لم يتم استدعاؤهم ما زالوا غير معروفين للجميع. لم يُعرف سوى 21 لاعباً حتى الآن ، وتم الإعلان رسمياً عن 21 لاعباً فقط من الفريق. ~~ Skydream1721 (talk) 17:55, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Costa Rica: Daniel Chacon and Brandon Aguilera

Shouldn't these players be listed with the clubs they have been loaned out to before the World Cup, instead of the clubs that own them? That's how other loanees are treated (and, I'd say, the traditional way to do it).

Viktor 2A02:8308:A18A:AE00:E088:CE07:BCCF:2014 (talk) 17:11, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes players should be, I have now corrected Brandon Aguilera. S.A. Julio (talk) 19:13, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Marcos Acuña ARGENTINA

Please change the position of Marcos Acuña in the Argentina squad, from MF to DF, since it was indicated in the official announcement: https://twitter.com/Argentina/status/1591082551950553088 2803:9800:9028:C31A:922:329D:86CA:8785 (talk) 12:46, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
