[edit] Untitled

This is a poorly written and clearly biased Wiki-entry. I think it needs to be re-written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.104.38.39 (talk) 19:07, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

This is an awfully biased article which needs extensive reworking.

[edit] Nickname

I've never in any of his matches heard him be referred to as "Super-Dan". Can anyone prove this? JordanGreen09 (talk) 13:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

In China we do call him "超级丹" which in English is "super-Dan". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.254.238 (talk) 22:09, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit] "Greatest"

I've removed this peacocky/weasely blurb about "many" people considering him the greatest of all time. First of all, most obviously, all three of the sources given there are from the same author, and the sources themselves don't make any claims about whether or not other people consider him the greatest, they only reflect the author's opinion. (That is to say, nowhere in any of the sources does the author say "here is proof that a lot of people think he's the greatest"; he just adds appositives along the lines of "Lin Dan—who btw is the greatest player of all time—...".) Secondly, regardless of what people think (which anyway hasn't been demonstrated by reliable sources), he's consistently outranked by Lee Chong Wei... rʨanaɢ (talk) 23:40, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Too much subjectivity and detail and too many grammatical errors

The article is supposed to be an encyclopedic overview of Lin Dan's career; not a sportswriter's running blog about it. The tournament tables should provide the specific details about his victories and losses in the finals of tournaments. An overview of each season is okay, but it needs to be concise, objective (or, at least, not overly subjective) and GRAMMATICAL! I reverted the recent "rewrite" of Lin's 2005 season because of its subjectivity and poor grammar. Badmintonhist (talk) 13:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

You can't revert with "Grammatical" reason, and also the reason of need to be concise, etc. Furthermore, in previous version, is Lin play for "warm up"? Some more "weasel words" are disallowed. All the things support by source, i wonder why it should be revert instead of fixing it.--Aleenf1 14:08, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
