Loan info in first team section

It seems we kinda started an edit war, which is good to clear and end. PeeJay keeps adding on loan end date in squad template which is a practice that is not used in any other football article. I don't know how this is not a good argument to remove it, as it is the common way we all do it for all football articles. Anyone can join and explain what is the difference for the Manchester United article, or just to confirm the used practice. Chris Calvin (talk) 21:14, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't remember how it was done, I thought it was with dates, but now seeing how long it is, breaking a line, I don't think so. That's why I checkec article history versions and it turns out that loanees where without end dates - only those loaned out had dates.
So, taking that into account, my position is that it shouldn't be added. Arguments for:
keeping dates:
  • full information
removing dates:
  • better overall look
  • it's a current squad
  • no braking lines
  • common practice (also at MU page)

It doesn't break a line on any screen I view Wikipedia on, so that's just your problem. As far as I'm concerned, we've included loan end dates forever, and I've been editing this page for more than 15 years. We include the end dates for players who are currently away from the club, and the whole point of a loan is that it's temporary. Without the end date, how does a reader know this isn't a six-month loan, or a one-month loan? If other pages don't do it, I think that's something that needs to be corrected at their end, not here. – PeeJay 08:22, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
Also, this is definitely something that should be discussed at WT:FOOTY, since it affects way more than just this article. – PeeJay 08:23, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

There is also the Ineos own post if you want to use it. The link although a primary source does clarify quite nicely what they brought. Govvy (talk) 14:35, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit request in the management section. Omar Berrada is appointed as the CEO though he is not due to start until the summer as stated in the article [1]. Patrick Stewart (Chief legal officer / General counsel) is continuing as interim CEO as stated in the official Man Utd statement [2]. The request to change the management section of the article to reflect the current structure rather than the future.

The club emblem used on the page is out of date and needs updating. The club gave its emblem a minor refresh and the main logo on the page is now incorrect. See link for the updated, correct emblem. Notice the solid block underneath the ship and a few other minor changes. This logo is used by United on their website and marketing material so it should be used on the article.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. If you don't have access to a free image of the new emblem, you can always use WP:GLI to request what you're after. M.Bitton (talk) 00:30, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
