World Cup

What should we do regarding game-by-game updates? Probably nothing... I dunno. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 05:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, every game. Oh Snap 14:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think she was big part of this team now..hope the womans league had more good players like her — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lalo1954 (talk • contribs) 22:43, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, she has a Very Cool name . This needs to be highlighted so people know she is representing the SOLO clan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.240.155 (talk) 00:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hope is still listed at being 29, even though her birthday has been a few days ago and she's 30 now.

195.241.26.184 (talk) 22:13, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The article is showing her birthdate to be July 30th which has not occurred yet. Jnorton7558 (talk) 22:48, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

she's italian american

there is an article on USAToday, where she says her father was an italian from the Bronx.. I don't know why but I can't do paste and copy.. 93.56.51.12 (talk) 23:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

mysterious gap between 2005 and 2009

what did she do then? which Team did she play for? On which money did she live? This article does not seem to give any information about her club (ont national team) career in that time... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.253.143.96 (talk) 23:49, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think in that period the USA national team held residential training camps that went on for months at a time and played 20 to 30 international games a year. Presumably the Football Association in America had the top players like Solo on some sort of central contract? Clavdia chauchat (talk) 17:40, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Same seems to be the case for the other USA team members also. The only things that are mentioned are 2007 world cup and 2008 olympics. It also results an odd thing: most of them have more national team appearances than regular teams appearances. 82.141.64.160 (talk) 22:06, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnam

We have a reliable source saying Solo's father fought in Vietnam. On the other hand, Solo's half-brother David, their father's son from another marriage, "isn't sure." The interview with David is here. And there are also other details there that may be worth including in the article.—Biosketch (talk) 07:53, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request

I tried to enter her major individual honors into the infobox, but was unsuccessful; perhaps someone familiar with templates/infoboxes will consider posting these data:

|Individual Honors
|2000-02 - 3-time NSCAA All-American
|2009 - US Soccer Women's Player of the Year
|2009 - WPS Goalkeeper of the Year
|2011 - Golden Glove Women's World Cup
|2011 - Bronze Ball Women's World Cup

Lead

There seems to be some disagreement over the terminology used in the lead here, particularly between User:Hmlarson and User:Barryjjoyce. Please refrain from further edit warring on the article itself and try to determine a consensus here. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:04, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for jumping in to the discussion with me and @Hmlarson:. Perhaps I don't fully understand what needs to be cited in the lead, and what does not. My impression was that the applicable policy here is WP:LEADCITE, which describes when material in the lead must be cited: "material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and quotations, should be supported by an inline citation" and particularly "contentious material about living persons, must be provided with an inline citation every time it is mentioned, regardless of the level of generality or the location of the statement." Is that the right standard here?

Regardless of the answer to my question, I'm not quite sure what are the objections to providing the cites. If there are cites available, they should be easy to add. If no cites are available, that raises a different set of questions. Barryjjoyce (talk) 03:06, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
