Ivan Rakitić

Hello, long time, how are you? Looked at Ivan Rakitić and, according to his WP cite, he now has 993 games in total, I have not looked at sources et c. for the games, but is he someone that you have in your "thoughts" in relation to 1,000 games and so on?

Hello, Maybe we should just do a "?" on the Nordstern Basel for now or what do you say? About Schalke I think 135 games bc on oGol in season 2007/08 they have in DFB Pokal 6 games BUT only 1 game with details and in 2008/09 in DFB Pokal oGol has only 2 games compared to 4 games on the other DB. So oGol seems a bit "out of sync" would you not say?

Zé Roberto

Hello!

Maybe you already know, but if you look here https://www.playmakerstats.com/player/ze-roberto/2603/career it seems that they have added the missing games for Portuguesa, they now have 132 games. So should we take away the note about oGol missing games and just use it as a ref++ now?

Edin Džeko has 1,004 games, Elektrotehnicar07 (talk) 12:10, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

@Elektrotehnicar07: Hello! First, thanks a lot for the information. Secondly, I merged this section with the previous one, which is also about the same player's potential inclusion in the list with the most official appearances; let's be neat, so to not get lost searching in the future. Now, lastly, does he have 1,004 matches because you say so, or do you have any source(s) for this claim? By the way, just noting that RSSSF has recently added him with a total of 991 matches until 21 August 2024 (direct link here), and since then he has played twice in the Turkish top league (Süper Lig), which makes the total up to 993. According to the sources I have, he has played in at least 994 matches for the time being, so he cannot currently be added to the list. P.S. I: In case the 1,004 total comes from WP, I suggest reading WP:NOTSOURCE. P.S. II: Thanks again for informing about this player, but I am aware of this player, and he still hasn't 1,000 matches, at least sourced ones, as there are matches with lineups missing and/or a reference he played in them missing. If reliable sources found claiming more matches, he will surely be added to the list sooner. Have a nice day! Kind regards, Lorry Gundersen (talk) 14:48, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

List of men's footballers with 1,000 or more official appearances

When talking about how many goals do Cristiano has, Wikipedia always uses the senior appearances, and do not take into account the goals with youth Portugal. Why should be different for appearances? FCBWanderer (talk) 16:58, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

@FCBWanderer: Hello again! Well, since we are talking about footballers' bio-articles in WP, you also see youth Portugal internationals in the infobox. Also, there is a big difference between statistics and journalism; the references in WP bodies and intros texts are coming from media outlets, e.g. like Marca, A Bola, et c., which do indeed most times do not include youth internationals, but all football databases (DBs) do include youth internationals, and this is why a statistical list also includes them. As I said, please seek for consensus in WP:Footy if you think the list should change, but you are always welcome to make a sublist in another section in the article, and Ι inform you there have been such talks before and the list didn't change.
