Profile Rewrite

[edit]

Just as the title suggests. I have nothing against Marouane, but I feel that the article tends to lean towards the biased side rather than encyclopedia-formal; the piece about Pauleta is extremely biased. If I was a more experienced Wiki user, I'd do it myself, so maybe someone with better writing prowess can clean this article up, please?

I agree. It is a strange article. The section on 'Offers' within that on Bordeaux is poorly written. Also, early in the article it states he was born near Bordeaux, but later that he jumped at the chance of moving to Europe - it can't be both so which is it? I don't know enough about the player to really correct these changes, so if someone with some knowledge on the subject, and more experience is up for it then this is an article to get their teeth into. 98.210.196.186 (talk) 15:14, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Liverpool transfer

[edit]

Please do not enter info about the rumoured Liverpool transfer until it is officially announced by the clubs. AS of right now, Jan 13, 2010, it is unconfirmed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.143.122 (talk) 11:02, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Arsenal Transfer

[edit]

Not official yet, please do not edit article with regards to the Arsenal precontract yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.72.176.176 (talk) 14:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just re-removed the Arsenal free transfer nonsense. It ain't official yet, folks, so don't jump the gun and give people false information until Arsenal FC/Arsene Wenger/FCGB actually say that he will move. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.70.109.171 (talk) 03:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Austinmaguire, 7 April 2010

[edit]

{{editsemiprotected}} Please delete "but arsene wenger said in a interview "morouane is a useless player and is no use for arsenal" he is also related to wayne rooney and arjen robben." This quote has never been said and in contradiction to this Chamakh is actually Arsenals number 1 transfer target this summer. So this quote is a fabrication, and totally incorrect. Austinmaguire (talk) 21:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - already gone before I got here :-)  Chzz  ►  21:39, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Place of Birth

[edit]

Where the hell is Milner Green? Certainly doesn't sound French! He was actually born in Tonneins. Twsf (talk) 22:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Arsenal Transfer

[edit]

Looks like he has signed with Arsenal.

Doubtful, neither Arsenal nor Bordeaux's official websites have acknowledged the transfer. Stop crying wolf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.240.120 (talk) 02:26, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

chamakh is on the verge of joining english club arsenal, but is also attracting interest from other english clubs such as liverpool. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmadlumb (talk • contribs) 20:40, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Career Statistics

[edit]

His total career statistic goal does not tally with the number on the table, and his 2003/2004 season information is missing, I'll fix the numbers and fill in his 2003/2004 information based on the information in Bordeaux's website. Can someone help me verify whether the information is correct since the domestic and Europe appearance and goals does not tally with the one on the website? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaizer1784 (talk • contribs) 09:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

name pronounciation

[edit]

How do you pronounce his name? Is is "Cha-Mak" or "Sha-Mak" or maybe something else? The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 09:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Appearances and goal tally for Bordeaux

[edit]

It says in the career section that he made x appearances and scored y goals in total, and the same tally is in the infobox. Infobox should only reflect league goals, so something's fishy. Kiagla (talk) 15:34, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Morocco international stats

[edit]

How accurate are the stats for his international career? Various profiles seem to give varying stats. [1] 50 caps, 15 goals. [2] 52 caps, 15 goals. [3] 54 caps, 27 goals. news from July 2010 53 caps, 27 goals. Also, RSSSF lists Chamakh scoring both goals against Trinidad in 2003 (that would complete his international goals tally) even if the soca warriors reference within this article says there were two different scorers in that match. Banana Fingers (talk) 19:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When I was re-doing the entire article, I used this as my reference for international caps and goals. After updating the article and doing some research on Chamakh, there is no way in the world he scored 27 goals at this level. Transfermarket regularly copies statistics off of wiki so I think that's how the 27 goals appearred there because the 27 goals was there previously before I decided to update the article. The allafrica article may have simply copied it off wiki as well. That's becoming the m/o these days.
This source says he has 14 as well and you can access the goals at Chamakh's page, but you need an account. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 21:12, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I was thinking as well. There's no way he scored 27 goals. That would mean he has a scoring rate of a goal every other game. Anyway, that source from footballdatabase.eu, it also says that he scored both goals against Trinidad in 2003. Like I said, its the same with RSSSF and that goal should complete his list of international goals of 14 but that soca warriors references says otherwise.

Their are just a few issues that need to be dealt with mainly grammar but overall this article is really good.

Grammar:
Lead: which includes the 2004 edition where Morocco → including the 2004 tournament in which Morocco Adam4267 (talk) 20:28, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bordeuax first para: replace the words courted and inserted. Adam4267 (talk) 00:36, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bordeaux second para: replace the word fall. Adam4267 (talk) 17:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bordeux third para: line 3 back-to-back weeks is ambiguous, was it back to back matches? Adam4267 (talk) 20:28, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

over a decade ago → over a decade before Adam4267 (talk) 20:28, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the match against the former club, Chamakh scored both of his goals within a minute of each other. He was later ejected from the match after committing a red card offense. Adam4267 (talk) 20:28, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken care of all these issues around the time they were posted. Any other issues? –J10S Talk 20:45, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More grammar issues to come

Main problems:
It is not specified if his transfer was a bosman or not if so please insert. The words bosman or end of contract need to be in there Adam4267 (talk) 00:36, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page does not seem completely stable I would suggest semi-protection. Adam4267 (talk) 00:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cites neeeded in lead, end of 2nd and 3rd para. Adam4267 (talk) 17:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any progress on this review? Spiderone 23:23, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take over in a couple days if there's no progress. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 01:43, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Prompted him yesterday, hasn't been on yet. KnowIG (talk) 20:01, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I'll give him until the 18th to wrap up what's needed to see if he'll get back on, if he doesn't get on then I'm taking over. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 16:09, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Taking over due to reviewer inactivity; will post my comments within a day. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:40, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

  • RTL links to a disambiguation page currently; have it link to the right article.
Done. –J10S Talk 07:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Refs #1 (la fiche de) and #69 (joueur des lions) are deadlinks.
Fixed both references. –J10S Talk 07:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "he often waits table" tables
Done. –J10S Talk 07:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "While at Nérac, he was equally adept on the field and off and earned good grades in school. "noted in the personal life section, so not really needed here.
Done. –J10S Talk 07:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Review in progress, will read+review second half of article tomorrow. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:06, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the rest of the issues:

  • "Chamakh was used as a target man and scored a career-low four goals, since becoming a professional in the league." tweak needed. maybe 'and scored four goals, his lowest since..' or just take out that last part of the sentence.
Done. –J10S Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The previous record was held by Thierry Henry, who scored a goal after 58 seconds for Arsenal against Reading on 22 October 2006." should be cited
Done. –J10S Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "On 15 February 2011, Chamakh admitted that he felt burnt out stating "By the start of January I felt that I had completely lost my edge". " cite needed
Done. –J10S Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Chamakh is a Moroccan international at senior level." at the senior level.
Done. –J10S Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "However, the match finished 2–2 meaning Morocco only had the satisfaction of qualifying for the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations" reword, 'had the satisfaction of' doesn't sound encyclopedic
Done. –J10S Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put the article on hold, and once these issues are fixed I'll pass the article. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 04:18, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good now, so I'll pass the article as a GA. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 14:55, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
