[edit] Dubious Information

Caps and goal figures in the article likely contain European cup/Domestic cup data in addition to Domestic League data (this is very certain based on this user's previous edits containing similar information [1]. Please correct this issue and leave a note here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alfmaster#Footballers.27_European_goals, to warn this person about putting improper information on Wikipedia. --Palffy 21:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] removal per WP:BLP

To the anon who is re adding the 'controversial' parapgraph, I removed it because it is clearly an example of what we should not be doing in a biography of living person.

"Editors should remove any controversial material about living persons that is either unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Reliable sources, or is a conjectural interpretation of a source"

-unsourced (Well, that it clearly isn't, since there is a source.)

-do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Reliable sources (I'm not sure whether you have a problem with the magazine in question. If you do, you must be implying that they made up the entire interview, which would be a bit unlikely)

-a conjectural interpretation of a source (Since the paragraph you keep removing is an almost verbatim repetition of Savicevic's own words discussing his own life - "conjectural" clearly doesn't apply.)

I'm not sure whether you're able to read Serbian, but this is Savicevic himself saying these things. Please specifically state what it is that you find problematic.207.34.205.204 20:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I can read Serbian but not very fast, I'm still learning ;) In this case, my biggest concern is if Svet is a reliable source. I don't know much about the magazine but upon glancing at the site, it almost seems like a tabloid. // Laughing Man 21:19, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
