This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Ana Paulina Maupomé (30 June 2019). "Megan Rapinoe's Wikipedia profile changed to President of the United States by fans". Diario AS. Retrieved 1 July 2019. Such is the case that the USWNT captain was identified as 'President of the United States' on her Wikipedia profile, which was edited by her followers, naming her POTUS. In response, Wikipedia blocked Megan Rapinoe's page so that no one else could have a go at changing her profile.

Orphaned references in Megan Rapinoe

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Megan Rapinoe's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 09:53, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Currently her official website displays a blank page. Checking with the WayBack Machine I discovered that the site was officially shut down after 2020-07-07. Can someone verify and change the link accordingly?

Semi-protected edit request on 7 June 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the next to last paragaph of Rapinoe's wikipedia page, please change "1999" to "1991" in this parenthetical phrase:

(the second American to do so after Michelle Akers in 1999)

Michelle Akers did win the Golden Boot in 1999, she won it in 1991. You can verify by looking at the Wiki entries for the 1991 and 1999 Women's World Cups. 73.115.71.132 (talk) 07:43, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Wikipedia is not a reliable source as a citation. Lightoil (talk) 02:55, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2019 inaugural winner of the ballon d'or feminin

Megan Rapinoe was the inaugural winner of the Ballon D'Or Feminin in 2019.

In that same year she was also named FIFA Women's Best Player.

In 2019 and 2020 she was voted into the FIFA Women's World XI.

All of these are immense honors in the sport. 73.178.4.8 (talk) 06:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
