Question

I was looking at Peru national football team and I noticed there is another article just for Most capped and top goalscorers which usually in other articles included at the original article not separated like this. So should we move it to the Peru national football team's article ?also another article for the result since 2005 only.. any suggestions about this one also? thanks Adnan (talk) 23:15, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most sports articles of this type have a separate article for team records (you can see the entire category here: [1]). This information is already included in the article for the top 3 scorers and appearances (in the records & statistics section); the tables were seen as unnecessary additions. The results article is incomplete and needs further work. Regards.--MarshalN20 ^Talk 02:46, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MarshalN20: ok no problem thank you :) Adnan (talk) 00:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

Why do all national team articles have as first image a badge? I think it should be of a squad, either current or from a golden era. The badge is a good image for the association, and indeed for Peruvian Football Federation it is the same image. The same problem exists for Scotland national football team, and since these 2 are FAs, all the other team pages are copying. But surely the reader expects to see players wearing the typical kit. So in the case of Peru I recommend we move the 1970 team image from the Colours section up to the top. Has this ever been discussed? Edwininlondon (talk) 07:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Edwin. All team (club and national) articles use the team badge as the first image. There does exist a Manual of Style for association football articles. Articles for the most part follow a guideline. The appropriate place to discuss changes to the style of articles is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football.--MarshalN20 ^Talk 14:50, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Paolo Guerrero Goal Record

The goal he scored against Senegal's B team is apparently not considered official. Therefore, his goal record is second to Cubillas for the time being.--MarshalN20 ^Talk 04:41, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
