[edit] False quotes=
Many of the quotes in this article can be assumed to be false. For example the one about his weasel getting heat stroke is a direct quote from Scrubs and in particular Bob Kelso —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.51.154 (talk) 14:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- Quote sections are not encyclopedic. I have removed the section. The JPStalk to me 21:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bias promotion of Redknapp in this article
I'm irratated by the obvious self-promotion in this article. Edited by a female fan perhaps?
So, I have cleaned up some of the acutely pro and bias in favour of J. Redknapp in this article mostly under the "England" tab which was full of opinion rather than fact. I tried to make it more neutral taking it away from the previous description of a golden boy.
This article is still extremely bias in favour of Redknapp - maybe he wrote it himself? Needs a bigger clean up with references to the facts of his career. And the football stat (appearance/goals/honours) box needs adding. I don't know how to add it. (82.43.189.130 23:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC))
- I've added a {{neutrality}} tag to highlight your concerns. The article needs referencing and some sections need to be reworked for more neutral wording (e.g., the "That goal" section). --Muchness 23:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm glad you agree that it is not neutral. Thanks. (82.43.189.130 14:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC))

- I've updated the international career section to make it appear more balanced. (84.65.86.120 19:30, 8 June 2007 (UTC))

Also, the teams stats are different to the team information. In the bio it says 308 apps and 34 goals for Liverpool, but the amount is lower in the stats box.
This may be because the box only counts league appearances and goals, whereas the free text can include (knockout) cup competitions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.126.118 (talk) 09:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Non-encyclopaedic guffy speculation and opinion
'It is widely accepted that his good looks, celebrity spouse and modelling commitments often overshadowed his football talent'. Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopaedia, not a forum for wannabe sports journalists spouting hackneyed opinion. I reckon this needs taking out/significantly re-doing.

[edit] James or Jamie?
Can it be reliably sourced that Jamie was christened as "Jamie", rather than the more traditional "James". Obviously people can have shortened forms of traditional names as their proper name, but it would be useful to know what the situation with Redknapp is. – PeeJay 22:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- As someone who struggles constantly with people valiantly mis-correcting his first name, I don't believe that there's any reason not to believe he was christened Jamie unless there's actual evidence to the contrary. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
