I have just reverted someone changing this to the Merseyside derby for around the 4th time now. Please stop doing this, I have lived in the heart of liverpool for over 25 years and have never heard it once refered to as such both in the city or out of it. Xenomorph1984 ( talk) 12:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Steven Gerrard was an Everton fan when he was a kid.Everyone know this.Search Michael Owen's interview on FHM on the web.He tells the samething as well.He has some photos with Everton shirt.So please add his name to the list.
I presume Westerweld hit the back of Hutchinson's net, as opposed to his back, but can someone who knows for sure make the change? MickO'Bants 20:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
For some strange reason McMahon was listed on this page as a boyhood Liverpool fan who later played for Everton. In fact, McMahon was an Everton ballboy as a kid, although I must admit I later assumed he was probably a Liverpool fan due to his desire to get away from Everton to Villa and his later seeming dislike of Everton. However McMahon himself states here [1], on Matt LeTissier's Footballing Greats website, that he was a boyhood Evertonian. I have amended the article accordingly, and perhaps in future in might be a good idea if contributors check out whether their assumptions are backed up by the facts before including them in articles.
Additionally, I have also included Gary Ablett and Dave Watson under the 'Liverpool fans who later played for Everton' list, both these players are on record as saying that they were Liverpool supporters. MarkB79 06:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Someones added Agger as a Evertonian and Osman as a Liverpudlian. is there any truth to this? I remember Sean Dundee mentioning Everton as a kid but hav'nt heard Agger.
Would whoever keeps deleting my addition to the section regarding the 2007 derby please disist or at least have the grace to tell me why he keeps doing it. This is the third time I have so edited the section.
The Hibbert sending off was equally as controversial to some as any other event. A player telling a ref to send a player off (which i incidentally don't think Gerrard did) is fairly controversial and makes the match notable.
Please don't make me re-edit it again. I have tried to make it sound as balanced and fair as possible.

Can you be specific about which addition keeps getting edited out? I likewise seem to be in an edit war concerning mention of Kuyt not being sent off, which was also widely debated afterwards. I have (this time) tried to mention it neutrally.

The introduction of this article is too long. Also some of the text is opinion not fact. Doyley Talk 18:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Dixie Dean.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

The article states that Everton vs Liverpool is traditionally referred to as the 'Friendly Derby'. This may be true, but Modern Merseyside Derbies are far more bitter, as a result of Everton's relative on the pitch decline. Someone needs to take of their rose tinted spectacles and clean this article up. Fry2000
It is referred to as the friendly derby not because of what goes on on the pitch but because at each match you can usually see many people sitting in the wrong ends because their are families who go that have blues and reds in them and they go together. ---Matt 15:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acidulantes ( talk • contribs)
This section is all out of kilter, unfortunately I don't know how to change it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nix D ( talk • contribs) 09:47, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
He has admitted that he used to watch both clubs and would be let in for free by the stewards after half time at both grounds. It's a rarity but he does not support either. His family are mixed as well. Xenomorph1984 ( talk) 19:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Tried to put in Jose Baxter, as an Everton Liverpudlian, but couldn't get it in the right place?? Said he was a boyhood Liverpool fan on BBC Football Focus.
Jamie Carragher is often quoted as being a boyhood Evertonian. However, I've just noticed that he has been removed from the Boyhood allegiances section? Presumably this is wrong?....or why else was it removed? As it does state a boyhood affiliation to Everton on his Wiki page.
No good at editing here, best someone else does:) Noticed that Emlyn scored 4 and is not included in the highlighted list of Derby goalscorers His 1973 double might have been worth a mention themselves but the main thing here is please someone edit/update the goalscorers list Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.133.57.63 ( talk) 13:46, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Does anyone know a quick way to reorder the overall list of matches to the correct chronological order? Per WP:SALORDER, it's supposed to have the most recent entries at the bottom, not the top. – Pee Jay 19:42, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
This should be titled the Liverpool derby, as it only involves football clubs in Liverpool and not all the league clubs on Merseyside — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.101.112 ( talk) 15:57, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
Is someone able to edit the table so that it is sortable by the final column (attendance) and possibly by score as well? Many thanks. OGBC1992 ( talk) 09:14, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
