Talk:Sam Kerr

I've noticed that the lead section of this article has been switched back to footballer from soccer player which I modified earlier on today. It also says "soccer player" in previous versions this year alone. Who says we write "Australian professional footballer" where we have, e.g. Mary Fowler (soccer) and Australia women's national soccer team having their current titles includes "soccer" in them. Having some consensus on what word we use after professional in the opening sentence would hopefully solve this problem. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:24, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

She is a soccer player not a footballer. She's from Australia and plays for the Australian national team, it's basically the same as Clint Dempsey, just because he played in England, it doesn't make him a footballer. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 10:05, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Should be soccer as per WP:NCFA --SuperJew (talk) 19:34, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

I would think we have a 100% consensus that we should use soccer instead of footballer so I shall change that back. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 11:52, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

I made that edit a few days ago and didn't realize it was reverted. @StarryNightSky11: stop making that revert, it's becoming disruptive and you're edit warring. Alyo (chat·edits) 15:59, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

'Soccer' is correct. GiantSnowman 17:56, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Football is correct. It's what the sport is officially called in Australia. The argument that other pages on Wikipedia use 'soccer' is a circular one. Danielle.warby (talk) 06:35, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Officially? Wikipedia doesn't care what soccer administrators say. Did you actually read WP:NCFIA? If you have a few weeks to spare, you could read the debate that led to that policy at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (football in Australia). HiLo48 (talk) 06:48, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Change in 'personal life' "The couple have a son called Jagger Mewis-Kerr, born in May 2025." To: "The couple have a son called Jagger Mewis-Kerr, born in the 13th of April 2025." Source by: Sam Kerr's Instagram story on May 25th 2025 that Jagger was born 6 weeks before that day source: https://x.com/hopeless_th/status/1926593486658146796?t=cBx-3AG4n6SqyvOykTNgeQ&s=19 Mesh2505 (talk) 00:29, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Given that the child is non-notable, I have removed the name. Month of birth is adequate. HiLo48 (talk) 02:23, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Can you please change 'Australian professional soccer player' to 'Australian professional football player' - it is what the sport is officially called in Australia. Update all other references to 'soccer' except when talking about the American league or when a quote. Danielle.warby (talk) 06:25, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (football in Australia) explains that Wikipedia uses the name Soccer for the game in Australia.. HiLo48 (talk) 06:33, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
