Helo i think in the season 2002-03 for Feyenoord that he scored 8 goals in the Dutch league (Eredivisie) and not 9 goals as it says here. 84.234.134.192 (talk) 04:47, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a source for that? "I think" is not a reliable source. – Pee Jay 13:17, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dutch Wikipedia also has it as 8 ([1]) but irritatingly enough doesn't give an source for that number Merry Christmas! Asartea ^Talk ^Contribs! 13:55, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strangely Soccerway is missing all seasons before 2004. Transfermarkt does show 8, but that's not a reliable source. ◢ Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 13:34, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SoccerAssociation.com gives it as 8, so I'm happy to make that change. – Pee Jay 16:11, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update the photo from the Fenerbache photo to a new photo of him with the National team. Fenerbache was frankly a small part at the tail end of his career. Kidasev (talk) 17:42, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

change “all time top scorer for the Netherlands national team” to “all time top scorer for the men’s Netherlands national team.” The all time top scorer for the Netherlands national team is Vivianne Miedema, with 95 goals. 2A02:C7C:362B:A200:60CC:87B1:91F6:868 (talk) 23:11, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done done, it is clear enough from the link to Netherlands national football team and the gender of van Persie. --Mvqr (talk) 12:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
