Correct the current squad list

Please improve the English

The English on this page has many grammatical errors. It seems someone has simply made a word-by-word translation from French without paying any attention to the grammatical differences between the two languages. Can the person who made this article please try to correct the English?-- 10:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Gautam Mainkar

Team crest

What exactly are the items located below the Eiffel Tower on the team crest? I thought one was a fleur-de-lis, but upon closer inspection I'm not sure. The other looks like a baby carriage, but that seems hard to believe. 69.137.220.179 06:08, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

It's a cradle. It represents Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Saint-Germain is where Louis XIV was born, thus "The cradle of Louis XIV". BobbyAFC 18:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thanks! Having now visited the town's page, I see that the two are adapted from the town's seal. 69.137.220.179 20:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Do we need so many former famous players? Some of them aren't famous, even for my standards as a PSG fan. Also, the addition of countless flags simply adds to the confusion

I see that someone has been messing with the page and now David Hasslehoff (the singer/Baywatch star) is on the squad. I'm not sure of wiki standards with regard to posting this, but I thought I should say something 17:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

PSG always been top-flight?

This kind of contradicts the fact that it played in the lower divisions when it split from Paris FC, doesn't it?

It didn't split from Paris FC, it merged with them, so the actual team "Paris Saint-Germain" have been playing in the top flight, it was the one of the two merger clubs that didn't. Brock 009 (talk) 08:25, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer: Sandman888 (talk) ^{Latest FAC} 13:05, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

My second GA review. I will place this on hold, as I feel this could be a GA with some work. A nicely-written article. All in all, I'll say that the lede is too long, history section is a bit short and there are some issues to iron out.

I've failed the article due to lack of response from otherwise active nominator. Sandman888 (talk) ^{Latest PR} 06:02, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

General

• Colours. This is not often used in other football articles, I would recommend creating a spin-off article and remove all of the images, save perhaps one or two. Also needs references.
• References.
  • This is very problematic. Many of the references are poorly formatted and needs date, accessdate, author if possible and publisher. I recommend you use the {cite web} template so you remember all the important information.
  • None of the cited books are being referenced in the article. This is a cause for some concern. Also some of the books seem to have self-translated titles, which is not acceptable. Include original title and add the "|language=French" parameter when using {cite book}.

Stadiums

• Needs references, entire sections are unreffed.

Current squad

• The "starting line-up" image caption is unreferenced, and I'll be surprised if you can find a source stating the first XI. Something seems to have gone wrong with the image.

Reserves and academy

• Unreferenced sections

Managers

• I would remove the list of managers and keep the wikilink to "List of managers".

Presidents

• Again, would remove the list, or at least format it properly. Per MosFlag, the French flag should be removed.

Le classique

• Two first sections are unreferenced.

Rivalries

• Please, consider to add new emerging rivalry with Chelsea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:718:1E03:AED2:619A:246E:D9FB:69F5 (talk) 09:55, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Honours

• See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Clubs for the manual of style. Formatting should be quite different.

Images.

• Often well-captioned, however there are some problems:
  • File:Coupe des Coupes 1996.jpg is a derivative, copyright belongs to trophy-manufacturer.
  • "Crest" section contains a gallery of non-free images, which is discouraged. One or two images should be enough to illustrate the evolution of the crest.

Lead.

• Far too long I must say, see WP:LEAD for recommendation on the lead. Remember, lead = summary of article. I would recommend writing a new summary and stuff in the lead.

Disambiguation

The disambiguation hat note for Paris Saint-Germain Rugby League needs to stay. That team had the same name as the soccer team, meaning the articles on them need to be disambiguated. Thanks,--Cúchullain ^t/c 15:14, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Honours

It's really strange to see some statistical features listed along with the international titles. Another part in the table should be created to include any places and honorific titles. They're not titles to list them with the trophies which is the point in a club's history. Isksin (talk) 18:09, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Why is this in US English?

surely as football is an English sport and uses English terminology, and PSG play in the UEFA zone where England is and not America, this should be in english. Alan McBrazil Burger (talk) 19:56, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

England does not own the sport of football or Paris St. Germain, nor is British English the primary language of Paris. Neither American nor British English has a strong claim to this article, meaning that the original style shold have been preserved and any reversions of such are acts of pettiness. Please refer to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style page and read the National Varieties of English section to learn when reversions are appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.72.200.10 (talk) 11:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Adding reference / bibliography

There is a number of books and articles talking about PSG, among which the recently published Ranc, David (2012). Foreign players and football supporters: The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain. Manchester: Manchester University Press. ISBN 978-0-7190-8612-0. Retrieved 2012-03-19. {{cite book}}: Check |authorlink= value (help); External link in |authorlink= (help)

This discusses many of the issues with this article (logo, supporters, players). The book also references Paul Dietschy's article and Thierry Berthou reference book.

Uniform description and picture don't match

Perhaps it's just me, but the description in the second paragraph and the pictures in the info box don't match. I suppose one could describe the red panel on the front of the jersey as a "bar", although I would not use that term, however there is no sign of the white borders mentioned in the picture.

I believe Zlatan Ibrahimovic is (vice captain) in Paris SG this season, as he's been (captain) every time Thiago Silva hasn't been able to play. Taranodmk (talk) 11:27, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Show sources that says Thiago Motta is vice captain. I watch almost every game of PSG, and every time Silva has been out of the team,Ibrahimovic has been wearing the captain-thing (dunno what's it's called, the thing around the arm) even though Motta has been on the pitch with him. But no, clearly you aren't vice captain even if you're wearing the captain-thing in the absence of the first captain, not that kind of character, I should have known. Sorry, Motta is vc even if it's not him but another player who is captain when Silva is out.

Pet Shop Boys or Village People

The article says: ""Allez Paris Saint-Germain", to the tune of "Go West" by Pet Shop Boys, is the official anthem of PSG." I think this is false because the original song is from Village People, and it should be changed as such.--85.76.74.246 (talk) 22:17, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Rivalries section - PSG = upper class?

Hello, I think this sentence needs to be amended:

"It involves the two largest cities in France:[8] the upper class in Paris against the working class in Marseille, capital against province and north against south.[45]"

Three of the four statements are true - Paris and Marseille are the largest cities in France, Paris v. Marseille represents the capital v. province and definitely North against South, which is a prominent cultural divide in France (Paris and Marseille are almost two separate countries in a lot of ways). But in no way is this a divide between the working class and the upper class - this is factually wrong. Both teams' supports are notoriously working class and have been historically. Sure, to Marseille fans PSG represents the arrogance and pretentiousness of the 'capital' city, of the North, but this isn't about social status at all. Besides, nothing in the referenced articles suggest that PSG is a representation of the 'upper class', so I think this bit should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hffmnn (talk • contribs) 09:13, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
