24th or 25th President?

[edit]

The government of Liberia says Weah is the country's 24th President. I made that edit in october, but I see it's been reverted. Can anyone help me understand why? Alexios88 (talk) 24 Nov 2021 — Preceding undated comment added 02:45, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Leeds

[edit]

He played for Leeds, not mentioned in the article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vega007 (talkcontribs) 17:39, 20 March 2005

He did not: http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=8361 --Dryazan 15:15, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)


Yes he did, he was on loan to Leeds in the mid nineties. I was a season ticket holder at Elland Road.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vega007 (talkcontribs) 02:56, 21 March 2005

I can find no evidence of this. Weah spent the late 90s (1995-99) with Milan, and he transferred there from PSG (1992-95). If you have any evidence of him playing for Leeds, post a link here. Maybe you are mixing him up with Tony Yeboah? --Dryazan 19:09, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think you're right—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vega007 (talkcontribs) 10:27, 21 March 2005

"Politics" section

[edit]

Anyone else find this sentence unintentionally comical:

"Weah has also promised to bring low cost housing to the countryside, where people often live in houses."—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.137.129 (talk) 06:01, 10 November 2005


Football

[edit]

Hey, I do not know how to do it, so I can't, but could somebody put a picture of him playing for Milan, like this http://www.as.com/misc/fifaworld04/fotografia/weah.jpg I think he deserves it you know as one of the world's best players ever. I was shocked to see him in a formal suit in the wikipedia article. I know he's almost the president right now, but he was a football icon, come on!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.245.206.91 (talk) 13:39, 10 November 2005


Conversion

[edit]

Is there any sources to state that he actually converted to Christianity from Islam, I mean both his parents had Christian names and he was given his at birth, it doesn't make much sense.—Preceding unsigned comment added by M2k41 (talkcontribs) 04:13, 30 January 2006

I've checked up on this, apparantely he was born Christian, converted to Islam, and then converted back when his grandmother died.—Preceding unsigned comment added by M2k41 (talkcontribs) 04:17, 30 January 2006

Ali Dia

[edit]

His connection to Ali Dia has been ignored but maybe it should be mentioned?—Preceding unsigned comment added by VarunRajendran (talkcontribs) 21:10, 13 March 2006


Dubious Information

[edit]

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)[reply]

Valiente Fukushima

[edit]

Apparently he has signed on to play with this Japanese team, on the 8th rung of the soccer pyramid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.5.254.102 (talk) 10:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 27 December 2017

[edit]
4.16.109.118 (talk) 22:07, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weah is currently the president elect of Liberia.

According to Associated Press the Electoral Commission is not expecting to make an announcement until tomorrow. See http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/liberia-waits-hear-1st-results-runoff-election-52006138

Semi-protected edit request on 28 December 2017

[edit]

On December 28, 2017, George Weah got elected as the president of Liberia. Aayushvetwal (talk) 21:11, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. That is already stated in the article's lead section. William Avery (talk) 22:04, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 29 December 2017

[edit]

Typo fix; change sentence in lead to:

he represented Liberia at the African Cup of Nations on two occasions

86.190.155.178 (talk) 20:29, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Thank you for taking the time to point that out. William Avery (talk) 21:22, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Please do not name Christopher Wreh as a cousin of Weah unless a reliable source can be found. This was unsourced in the article and when I search "Christopher Wreh cousin" these are the top results:

  1. Wikipedia
  2. Transfermarkt: A user-created football statistics website not regarded as a reliable source
  3. When Saturday Comes: Football magazine says Wreh "was even supposed to be a cousin" of Weah
  4. The Hot Stepanovs: Arsenal fan blog
  5. Football Fancast: Name says it all
  6. Facebook
  7. Wikipedia mirror
  8. Woolwich Arsenal: Arsenal fan blog
  9. Sporting Heroes: A nice website but not a definitive source on such a claim

Due to the famous case of Ali Dia, sources must be reliable for anybody claiming to be a cousin of George Weah. Harambe Walks (talk) 16:47, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Overtly pro-Weah

[edit]

This article is pretty obviously biased towards Weah and needs serious revision. Looking under his presidency section is nothing but thinly veiled praise 166.182.81.4 (talk) 03:01, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
