Brian Laudrup

Hi, I'm not "in charge of the page", I just have the article on my watchlist because I'm interested in FC Bayern Munich players. I must admit that I don't remember a "forward of the year" award from kicker, but 1990–91 was more than 20 years ago so I could have forgotten a lot of stuff. But this page doesn't suggest that he was playing such a great season. According to the kicker grades he was only 10th best forward of the season and scored only nine goals compared to Roland Wohlfarth's 21, so I don't think that he was "forward of the year" in that season. The source you quote seems only to transcribe the kicker grades but it has a lot of mistakes. The top six in 1989–90 were

1. 3.13 Karl Allgöwer
2. 3.15 Josef Nehl
3. 3.17 Christian Schreier
4. 3.25 Ludwig Kögl
5. 3.27 Michael Rummenigge
6. 3.32 Brian Laudrup

so I'm afraid the source is not reliable. Better use the data from kicker website. --Jaellee (talk) 18:45, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

For translation you could try Google Translate, I find it quite helpful. You said that Laudrup was best forward of the year and kicker also classified him as a forward (= Sturm) so I had a look at those rankings. But nevertheless, his grades are not good enough for a "forward of the year". Are you sure it wasn't a different magazine/organisation? --Jaellee (talk) 23:04, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Well, kicker classified him as a forward. Their classifications are sometimes strange and don't take into account that players can play in different positions during their career. A forward that scores only two goals is not really a successful forward but I wouldn't see this a proof that he wasn't a forward. --Jaellee (talk) 17:46, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

I just believe that he didn't win an award for forwards with only two goals. Also several other players had better grades than him this year so I don't think gave him any award based on his grades. --Jaellee (talk) 10:13, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm mostly interested in Laudrup because he played for Bayern Munich and I remember him playing during that time (and the Euro 1992, of course).

As for the image, that's not so easy. Any image that is included in Wikipedia must either be under a free license or in public domain. (This is somewhat simplified, for details have a look at Wikipedia:Image use policy or Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright.) Basically this means that you can't just take a photo of him from somewhere in the internet and put it up on Wikipeda because this would be most probably a copyright violation. Such pictures are usually removed quite fast. If no one who has a better photo of him (and has the rights for the photo!) gives it to Wikipedia, we are stuck with the current one. --Jaellee (talk) 18:09, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:46, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Brian Laudrup

I don't understand what you want to say with the "Trivia" paragraph. You claim Michael Laudrup is believed to be a very good player (this "one of the greatest players" stuff is sounding like something from WP:PEACOCK and should at least be sourced). Do you want so say that Michael Laudrup was vastly overrated because he couldn't even win the Danish player of the year award against his-not-so-great brother? Or that Brian Laudrup was even better than his widely acclaimed brother? Was it only in Denmark that Brian Laudrup was seen as the better player and the rest of the world thought that Michael Laudrup was the better one? I'm not really sure what this paragraph should tell the reader. And what do you mean by "thoe" and "seen" – "though" and "scene" perhaps?

Maybe im slow, i thought it was a good idea? To let the readers know that Brian Laudrup was rated very highly. Alot of people seam to think Michael was far superia to Brian which was never the case back in the 90's..............Im just telling the reader that Brian was rated very highly.....

Could also be that I'm slow, but I hope you understood what I meant by clarify. If you could expand that paragraph a bit then I think it would be okay. --Jaellee (talk) 18:51, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Brian Laudrup, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use File:Brian Laudrup lifting the european cup.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Brian Laudrup lifting the european cup.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 06:37, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited El Hadji Diouf, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Forward. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Brian Laudrup (November 2014)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
