Due to vandalism, I've reverted to the last known good version - please feel free to update with Sheff Utd transfer details when better sourced. Minkythecat ( talk) 20:10, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Think, given recent events, that this site is prime for locking except for registered users. Anyone agree? Martyn Smith ( talk) 15:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Though the page is locked, there is a "lol forget about it pal" under the "Team GB" bit in the article. While funny, this is rape we're talking about, so it is rather inappropriate. Please remove it. I'm sorry, I don't know how to sign this post. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.64.65.80 ( talk) 22:57, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
No, it hasn't been removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.64.65.80 ( talk) 06:29, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip, but no, it still appears to me, even when I reload the page. Perhaps someone is reverting it every time? Very poor taste if so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.64.65.80 ( talk) 18:56, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
The control-F5 refresh did the trick, thanks. Very unusual, I went on the main wikipedia page and searched for "ched evans" and when the page loaded, it was still there, only went away after I did the shortcut. Simply hitting the refresh button didn't work. I'm using Internet Explorer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.64.65.80 ( talk) 17:58, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

It says on the page, "his career was marked by controversy". I wanna change that to "marred" and I think this is a better word to use Nickclayden2796 ( talk) 16:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

I want to update the picture of Ched Evans as he looks slightly different now so I want to upload a new picture of him. 86.150.161.233 ( talk) 17:44, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
In this edit the section about Evans' attempts to find a new club was moved further up the page. I agree that the "personal life" section was getting overburdened by his search for a new club, but I am not sure that was the right place to put it.
His search is not part of his club career, and if he were to get a position with Oldham later this week then his club career section would say "Manchester City - Sheffield United - Attempts to find a new club - Oldham" - it just doesn't fit in there.
I would propose putting that back under "Personal Life" and making it a subsection - either that or give his search for a new club a new section after personal life. Stroller ( talk) 03:24, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
In the Personal Life section, the article says: 'Karl Massey has set up a website proclaiming Evans to be innocent of his rape conviction,' but fails to give the name of that website.
Why mention the website without the name or a link? That would be relevant information, surely? Gnu Ordure ( talk) 18:14, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, Stroller. I've simply added a footnote in the appropriate place. Hope it's OK, I'm not familiar with these new footnote codes. Feel free to improve it, if you want to. Cheers. Gnu Ordure ( talk) 23:28, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

The article reads "He was released on 17 October 2014, although he remains on the Violent and Sex Offender Register indefinitely".
I'm not a legal expert, but surely if his conviction is quashed, there is no reason for him to be registered as a criminal at all?

The sentence that says Ched Evans will remain on the violent sex offenders register is incorrect. His details were removed the moment his conviction was quashed.
Please remove this information immediately.

I have fully protected the article for 24 hours to give everyone some breathing space. I realise completely whitewashing the article is not the answer, but perhaps some of the content in question could be trimmed a bit as a compromise? Discuss. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:48, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
