Mesut Ozil had earned 92 caps for Germany. Iamagunner14 (talk) 04:37, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What changes need to be made to the "international" table to bring it up-to-date? Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:41, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 23:25, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Iamagunner14: could you please address this help clarify your request? Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:28, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that those tables have their own criteria for what counts (regarding friendlies etc.)

It is also common for stats to be updated at the end of season etc. rather than after each game Jazi Zilber (talk) 17:25, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Street

“Devrek is a district of the northern Turkish province of Zonguldak, which is famous for its hand-made wooden walking sticks. The town had renamed its main avenue after Mesut Özil following his successes in Germany. A large placard with Özil’s photo was also put up to show the avenue’s new name.” Turkish town to replace Mesut Özil’s German team photo with one alongside Erdoğan --Fabsy0066 (talk) 21:56, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The street was named after him in 2012. [1][2] --Fabsy0066 (talk) 10:51, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ozil

"One of the best players in the world"? A bias Arsenal fan must of put that in, the two sources are his former manager (Arsene Wenger) and team mate (Marco Reus) which are not reliable sources. The other source states "One of the best in the PREMIER LEAGUE" not in the world. 88.111.139.176 (talk) 13:41, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to challenge the claim or simply remove it? Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
