RS to V

[edit]

The most important principle of Wikipedia - to me at least - is that we require reliable sources to verify information, especially regarding living people. Adding unreferenced information about living people is an absolute no-no - as editors, including some long established ones who I assumed knew better, have been doing to this article. There is information about Redshaw's early life - where is that information coming from? Same goes for speculation about this player's transfer fees and contract lengths - and speculation is all it is. Other information is just plain wrong - he never appeared in the Football League for Wrexham, as confirmed by this extremely well respected source. GiantSnowman 20:54, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources

[edit]

As pointed out immediately above, Mr Redshaw never played League football for Wrexham. His Soccerway page says he did, so although that site would normally be considered RS, we can't consider it RS for this subject. And zamante.com is a football-related social networking site. Sticking to RS independent of the subject for where he definitely has been, and working chronologically:

Brilliant research, I'll take it all in later when I'm not at work - but we should e-mail Soccerway to advise them of their mistake (they're pretty good at rectifying) and we should definitely discount Zamante. GiantSnowman 12:25, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here's the story (in Icelandic) of him signing for Fram. Translated it says that he signed from Ethnikos Piraeus, but had spent the previous season on loan at Real Murcia II. Here's another story from the following month (again in Icelandic) saying that his contract with Fram had been cancelled after they played him in the first game of the season and realised he was crap.
  • He definitely never played in Belgium according to the Belgian Soccer Database, which is usually extremely accurate so I don't know where the Non League Daily have come up with that one.
  • I found this article from March 2005 saying that he was on trial at Triestina, but I can't find anything that indicates he signed for them permanently.
Can't find anything else that Struway hasn't already listed above... Cheers, BigDom (talk) 15:35, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Soccerway have now removed/fixed the inaccurate stats. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:30, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
