[edit] Markers for citations

I added the statements regarding the DVD and his membership in APFA. Why are citations needed? These are facts. You can find the DVD on the Sony BMG website. You can confirm his membership in the APFA website. It's crazy to ask citations for these two FACTS when the rest of the article is brimming with uncited (or arguably unweighty) references to more contentious information. -210.10.135.78 12:39, 26 June 2006 (UTC) K

Well, put it this way, I look at the wikipedia page about Cool World and see no mention of Kewell. I look at the IMDb page and see no mention of Kewell. Kewell's page gets a LOT of vandalism, so rather than just deleting this random sounding fact I thought I'd flag it for a citation. I've never watched the film and probably never will, so could you please provide some proof? edit: I reckon my initial confusion may be to do with you linking to the wrong film?
Regarding membership of the APFA, well if you can find it on the website it could easily be linked by you, and the link will add to the article. cheers, aLii 12:47, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for clearing that up. Someone else added that link to Cool World on Wikipedia, hence the confusion. I removed it a while ago when I noticed it. My original edit deliberately didn't link as I knew it wasn't the same DVD. Someone rephrased the sentence to make the distinction clearer so hopefully there won't be any more confusion. -210.10.135.78 13:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC) K
Yeah, that was me :P aLii 00:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sick of Vandalism

I've just been scanning through all the anonymous IP addresses that have been vandalising this page recently. It is interesting to note that they are all from Australia :-/ Anyway...

multiple offenders include (click dates for diff):

60.227.199.20,

203.222.133.10,

(User also has a noteable number of vandalism-type edits to a large number of pages) Given the identical nature of the edits I would assume that both IP addresses are the same person, perhaps at home and at work. Either way I would assume there is a fair case for banning IP 203.222.133.10. aLii 10:42, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Cleanup tasks

Considering Australia's recent win against Uruguay in the World Cup qualifier in Sydney, the Kewell article and those on players such as Mark Viduka and goalie Mark Schwarzer plus many other big names will receive more attention from readers and so they also need more attention from editors. Thanks to anyone who has time - amongst exams and end of year rush to edit these! Donama 00:40, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

I have edited the Kewell profile. The article as it stands is messy and very unencyclopedic (if that is a word). Too much talk of Australias qualification for the world cup, these details should be included in a 'Australias Road to World Cup' article or something. Remember most people viewing this page will not be Australian and will be more interested in viewing history regarding his club football. Use existing players article as a guide.

As a child he professed wanting to play for England when he grew up.

[edit] Citation for best ever player?

How is it possible to cite a 'widely help opinion'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.29.88.251 (talk • contribs)

I suppose it's possible if a reputable source makes such a claim.  SLUMGUM  yap  stalk  04:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia citations

OK, so I've been going through the Trivia section looking for some citations to back up the remarks and I'm stuck on

  • The leading scorer of left footed goals one
  • The Ronaldo has "never heard of" one

Can anyone help out here or suggest where those bits of information come from? Otherwise I think I'll probably delete them within a few weeks. aLii 09:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the Ronaldo comments: http://www.dailytelegraph.news.com.au/story/0,20281,18853850-5001023,00.html He never specifically says that, but he does say he only knows of one Australian player. 203.192.64.186 12:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

There's a similar article in the Sydney Morning Herald http://www.smh.com.au/news/Sport/Rasic-snubs-Socceroos-Kewell-and-Viduka/2006/04/20/1145344211965.html Looks like the Telegraph link no longer works by the way.

Why mention the "gout" thing - Chipperfield is not a doctor. Citing references to fallacious news reports is pretty pointless.

[edit] Fast Facts

The first paragraph of Harry's 'Fast Facts' reads like an advertisement for Westfield Sports High. I say that first paragraph should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by W33nie (talk • contribs) 17:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree and I will remove it. Kyriakos (talk) 05:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The 29-year-old Australian left Leeds for Anfield in July 2003 on a £60,000 a week deal, which the number crunchers at The Daily Telegraph have worked out means that each of his 139 Liverpool appearances at a cost to the club of £157,554. Bargain. [1] Is this relevant?

[edit] Add link to Politix website

Kewell is now the brand ambassador for the Australian Men's Fashion brand Politix (May 2008)- As we are responsible for maintaining the Politix website, it is a conflict for us to add a link to it. If anyone thinks it should added as an external link, please feel free. Parcacorp (talk) 23:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
