Considered one of the best...
Moved current version of recent addition with its sources from the article, where it doesn't belong, particularly in the lead section, to here.
- Considered one of the best midfielders in the world, he is renowned for his technicality, playmaking and exceptional vision.[1][2][3]

The lead section style guideline is pretty specific on this: "Apart from basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article." Such an exceptional claim in the opening sentence encourages the reader to read the rest of the article to find out more, only there is no more.
Please see also MOS:WTW, which lists words and phrases to avoid, especially the sections MOS:PEACOCK ("best" and "renowned") and tells us "Instead of making subjective proclamations about a subject's importance, use facts and attribution to demonstrate it", and MOS:WEASEL ("considered", "regarded"), "views that are properly attributed to a reliable source may use similar expressions, if those expressions accurately represent the opinions of the source. Reliable sources may analyze and interpret, but for editors to do so would violate the Wikipedia:No original research or Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policies."
Some of these links are to guidelines, which we're recommended but not obliged to follow. But we are obliged to follow policies. The content has to be verifiable with reference to reliable published sources, and we need to avoid drawing unwarranted conclusions from multiple sources (see WP:SYNTH, a section of the no original research policy).
What it comes down to, is (a) despite the current epidemic of footballer pages with "one of the best" sentences in their leads, they're very rarely appropriate; (b) what we should be doing, even if it is rather more difficult, is to use reliable sources to create content in the body of the article that describes the player's career to date, mentions their achievements at relevant points, and illustrates their strengths and weaknesses with proper attribution (which means the reader can see who said what); and only then (c) sum it up in the lead without needing to make apparently subjective proclamations. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:51, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. The info can be added back at a later date, but only after his attributes and the reception of him is documented in a Style of Play section. Scientelensia (talk) 14:34, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
PLEASE READ!
Do not edit Jude Bellingham’s page until June 4 2023. On that day, the La Liga ends. After the La Liga ends, someone has to update Jude Bellingham’s date in Dortmund as he is leaving that club after Real Madrid’s season is over. He hasn’t left yet. 2A02:C7C:AD6A:4400:F5C4:7C0:870B:2C10 (talk) 17:07, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Bio will be updated on 1 July 2023, when the summer transfer window commences. He is a Borussia Dortmund player prior to his departure until 30 June 2023 as per contract. Sartaj267 14:35, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- Ref 57, i.e. this announcement, revealed from 12:00, that he was unveiled as a Real Madrid player. Obviously, the ref was not even created when this section started. But looking at this information and this transfer involved two teams from different countries, I'm inclined to agree with the version of the lead part of the article at the start of the day.

Please Read 2 – Notice for editors
It is likely that with Bellingham’s transfer to Madrid (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65836734) this page is going to become very popular in coming days. Thus, I want to make some suggestions of what we, as Wikipedia editors, need to do to improve this page.
1. The Birmingham City section needs to be based more on facts. It is generally good however.
2. The Borussia Dortmund section needs lots of improvement:
• This section (“It had long become obvious that Bellingham would leave Birmingham, and it was reported that he and his father had visited several major clubs, of which Manchester United and Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund were the favourites. Impressed by Dortmund's record of including young players as regulars in the first team, as evidenced by the likes of Jadon Sancho, that became his destination of choice. He flew to Germany for a medical, and the transfer was confirmed on 20 July 2020: he would join after Birmingham's last match of the season. The undisclosed fee was understood by Sky Sports to be an initial £25 million – making him the most expensive 17-year-old in history – plus "several million more" dependent on performance-related criteria.”) is not well sourced and the language used should be more encyclopaedic.
• Many paragraphs have little reference to dates (specifically months and days) and so this needs to be added.
• There is a long gap in time at the time of me writing this (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jude_Bellingham&oldid=1158989997) between the last two paragraphs, and more needs to be added to detail Bellingham’s near miss on the league title. Detail about the run-in and the awards Bellingham received after the end of the season should also be recorded. Preferably we could split up each of Bellingham’s three seasons at the club using sub-headings.
3. If a phrase such as this (see below, copied from talk message above) is to be used in the lede (and I believe it should be), then a ‘Style of play’ section detailing Bellingham’s technical game and attributes, as well as the reception towards him, should be created. If there is enough content for this next action to be justified, this section could be renamed ‘Player profile’ and could be split using the subheadings ‘Style of play’ and ‘Reception’.
- Considered one of the best midfielders in the world, he is renowned for his technicality, playmaking and exceptional vision.[1][2][3]

Lede
Should include him being one of the best youngsters in the world, a title that many credit him with especially at 19 years of age. Same source used for Phil Foden. 82.35.88.151 (talk) 22:30, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
Lead changes
What's all this about repetitive changes about changing from *Borussia Dortmund and club number 22 to Real Madrid and club number 5* and vice versa. It seems like everyone who has edited the article since the Real Madrid announcement has their own way of thinking which version is correct. Obviously, after 1 July, which has reappeared in the lead and stays that way as of this timestamp, everyone will recognise he is definitely playing for Real Madrid. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:20, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- He's already signed for Real Madrid. What has the date of 1 July got to do with anything? Mattythewhite (talk) 19:32, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- We don't have any sources stating "1 July" except this one about the text
this transfer deal will not fall in the current 2022/2023 financial year, but in the 2023/2024 financial year.
. The PLEASE READ! section may also be worth reading, with Sartaj267 explaining the mention of 1 July which might just be that user's own knowledge when giving that out 3 weeks ago. - I'm inclined to stick with the restore of Mattythewhite's latest version based on the unveiling earlier this month and the observation my recent edit was reverted two days ago. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:47, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- This page is causing immense confusion, because people keeping changing parts of it, which then makes it incorrect. He doesn't wear the number 22 shirt if he's at Real Madrid. If he's joining Real on July 1, that means he isn't there now. The Benzema page is my preference for what should have been done, nobody can change any of that.

Picture
Can someone change the main picture for Jude? Like this is such a bad angle and it’s old. Change it to one with him at Madrid 2600:8801:8D15:1700:2479:F03E:D414:9E77 (talk) 22:59, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Only if that image is free to use, i.e. not taken from any professional website. Someone did change the image but that is an obvious copyvio. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 08:08, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- The header image should be changed EndzoneEnthusiast 06:42, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

I can't understand why
Bro, why only LaLiga matches? Champions League should count too. This is theft Themadridista14 (talk) 21:50, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- It says below the box "*Club domestic league appearances and goals, correct as of". There were discussions and it's easier to just track domestic league apps/goals, especially for former players. Kante4 (talk) 05:07, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- If you include Champions League, where does it stop? You'd have to include pre-season friendlies, cup games etc as well if you're counting goals in all competitions, the potential for error is huge. PeachyBum07 (talk) 05:19, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Real Madrid infobox photos
We've seem to be having a lot of occurrences that photos in the infobox of Bellingham of Real Madrid are judged to be copyvios, as I've noticed just now.
