Missing information

Rooney was top assister in the Champions League during the 13/14 season. It isn’t listed under his individual awards. Diabolicalsituations (talk) 23:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They don't give people awards for being the "top assister". – Pee Jay 18:26, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they do. Look at Di Maria Wikipedia. Diabolicalsituations (talk) 18:30, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not give people awards, and just because something is acknowledged on one page does not mean it has to be acknowledged on every page. – Pee Jay 19:13, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It wouldn’t be Wikipedia giving him an award. It’s missing information that isn’t on his page. That’s stupid logic. If it’s on one page, it should be on all of them. If not, why is it on Di Marias to start with? The pettiest argument.. are you bored? Diabolicalsituations (talk) 20:18, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09/10, 11/12, 12/13, 15/16, 16/17, 18/19, 19/20, 20/21 UCL top assister are all documented… ON WIKIPEDIA. Diabolicalsituations (talk) 20:32, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
