I changed the age in the article. The already existing source clearly states that the new record holder is 12, and not 13, as the year of his debut. I don't blame the editor though, it was really easy to miss as the language is somewhat murky and can be very confusing in the article itself. Considering the main article is likely not the English one, rather the Spanish one, an English Second Language (ESL) editor probably read the sources and tried to edit on it, which is totally fine. I wanted to clarify that the article states in this passage: "Football pundits say Mauricio's debut at the age of 12 easily beat the previous record of Fernando Garcia of Peru who played his first competitive match in 2001 a month shy of his 14th birthday." Where above, it sttates: "A Bolivian boy has reason to celebrate his 13th birthday on Wednesday - he has become South America's youngest ever professional footballer." He was celebrating his 13th birthday, but that wasn't his "first."Chewbakadog (talk) 05:23, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
