More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: I agree with all the above. I think all the information is pretty well sourced, but definitely wrong nicknames must be erased. Also, that stuff about him being a marketing move is not true at all. He was crucial in PSV's run to the finals, everyone knows that. Plus, Fergie loves the guy and has said that time and time again. (edit)

[edit] Neutrality

Is this really a neutral article? Because all this about 'amazing vision', 'highly efficient attacker', 'compared to Pele, Zidane and Maradona', 'wizard with the ball at his feet' and 'can distribute the ball with pinpoint accuracy' etc. etc. He is a good player but those descriptions of him would be more suitable for Ronaldo. Yes, he has amazing stamina but his end product is poor. If those descriptions of him were true, surely he'd be a first team regular-which he is clearly not. He's had 2 years to demonstrate these skills and he hasn't exactly shined. He's had his good matches but often is uninspiring. I'm a Man Utd fan-as is clear from my name-and even I know that these phrases cannot be associated with Park. I've been watching him for 2 years now with close interest as an Asian and I do not agree with the tone of this article. Good player? Yes. Brilliant wizard? No. Life is great...if you support Manchester United 19:13, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Agree. I've erased phrases from the introduction which tend to be favoritism. from now on we need a new neutral introduction with formal tone. --60.48.33.188 05:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] edited

I edited the whole article, so if anyone would like to confirm I don't think there's a need for the 'informal tone' crap anymore.

[edit] Nickname "Hub Lub"

I'd like to know if there is reputable evidence for this nickname. I wasn't able to find use of this nickname on any forums regarding United or football in general. If the nickname is indeed true, I believe the statement regarding it should be edited as it seems a bit derogatory.

I must agree. I never heard of that nickname either. I have never seen that nickname at least not in Korean newspapers. I'll delete it for now until there is a credible source. Iloveayu 23:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chart?

I don't really know what to call that chart thingy at the very beginning of the page, but are there any ways to make that smaller? It seems a bit awkward having to scroll down just to see the first word of the article. Iloveayu 23:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, I agree. I couldn't work out how to make it smaller, so I've moved it down slightly as a temporary measure. Of course the first thing you should see is the first line of the article. Palefire 05:30, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthdate

Is "February 25" really the lunar date? If so, we should either clarify that to "25th day of the second lunar month" -- or, better, provide the solar date instead. -- Visviva 13:05, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] vandalism

someones been vandalising this article wrting all sorts of nonesense like - known as hub lub in seoul for his incoherent speech, was booed off the pitch at man U, was bought for solely marketing reason since Glazers were broke, south koreans are the biggest fans of EPL (this is BS, koreans are not into prem-football like japs and chinese - i know likes of inamoto, li tie were marketing buys) etc. i'm guessing the culprit is chinese haha 139.80.123.40 15:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm (merely) guessing Chinese, too mirageinred 03:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

some wanker wrote about Park's nickname being "No Penis Park" and some gay remarks, so I removed them...his IP is 144.173.6.67...can some ban him? Zadooplum 22:45, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

With all due respect, Wikipedia does not ban people for vandalism straight away unless it is severe and highly disruptive - but I have left a message on his talk page. x42bn6 Talk 20:12, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Can we get a picture of Park Ji-Sung on the page? That'd make it look a whole lot better. It would greatly improve the overall look of the page. I'm not entirely sure how to put pages on Wikipedia and still follow copyright laws, but maybe you guys could do it for me. Wikiisawesome 11:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I like the picture! Wikiisawesome 11:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

He shoots, he scores, he'll eat your labradores!

[edit] Chant

Park, Park whereever you may be
He eats dogs in his own country
It could be worse
He could be Scouse
And eating rats in his council house.

Great chant, very well known. Worth adding?

I think it's worth as a United fan. but still.. --60.48.33.188 05:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] League goals 2005-2006

He only scored 1 league goal in the 2005-2006 season against Arsenal in the 2-0 win.

[edit] Runner up

You haven't won anything until you've won it. Runner up is not a cup or trophy so i've removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.121.241.210 (talk) 12:45, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Being a practising Buddhist

I don't see why this is important enough to be in the introductory paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmlee369 (talk • contribs) 20:46, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] career stats

added some stats for the 07/08 season couldnt find any info on asists but i'll have another look when the seasons over and finish it off.--Numberwang (talk) 00:12, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
