Qatar World Cup ambassador

Is there a reason why this is not in the article given the controversy about it? (Fran Bosh (talk) 18:38, 6 July 2022 (UTC))[reply]

Chingford County High School, as it was called then, is not located in Ridgeway Park which is a nearby recreation ground. The school is in Nevi Drive. I am able to state this because I lived in Chingford for the first 24 years of my life and I attended Chingford County High School.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The fact that you have lived in that area does not automatically guarantee that your request will be accepted. MadGuy7023 (talk) 14:49, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Changed. The address is what the OP says, as stated in our high school article that has the street sourced (with this reference). Also is the address stated in the school website. Alexcalamaro (talk) 07:40, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request that David Beckham's Wikipedia page be edited to include the recent controversy surrounding his deal with Qatar in the 2022 World Cup and the subsequent online battle with Joe Lycett which has seen David Beckham's reputation as an LGBTQ+ ally destroyed. I think it's an important event to document particularly for such a popular figure who has so far failed to directly address the LGBTQ+ issues in Qatar whilst showing ongoing support for the country despite backlash from the LGBTQ+ community and allies. 90.212.199.192 (talk) 00:21, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. You'll need to provide specific prose and reliable sources discussing this. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:32, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Additions

Two changes that could be made:

In the club career, sub-sections do not appear in the contents
More pictures could be added
