      Wikipedia says fans chant Munich "particuarly Liverpool"

      A paragraph from the Leeds United A.F.C. and Manchester United rivalry page:

      Two Leeds United fans were stabbed to death during a UEFA Cup game against Galatasaray in 2000.[26] Many Manchester United fans paid their respects, leaving tributes at Elland Road, and there were even reports of Leeds and Manchester United fans embracing, with The Independent using the headline "Old rivalries forgotten as fans unite in grief".[27] However, by the time the two sides faced up in the league, the dark underbelly from a subsection of the fans came out of the shadows and some Manchester United fans unfurled banners bearing the words "MUFC Istanbul Reds" [28] and "Galatasaray Reds", glorifying the killers and mocking the victims. The Manchester United fans who unfurled these banners may have been retaliating to consistent taunting by Leeds fans about the Munich air disaster over the years (these chants have also been made by the supporters of many other clubs, particularly Liverpool), but these banners angered the Leeds fans, who retorted by chanting songs about Munich, and there were reports of seats being ripped up and confrontations after the game.[29]

      This seems unfair and unnessessary, is there any way we can get this removed?

      Anyone a frequent Wikipedia user who is familiar with the complaints process?

      There is no complaint process, just edit it.

      Done. Removed it.

      Some Manc will probably put it back soon enough though.

      I have edited it with the reason "Removed "particularly Liverpool [fans]" when referring to Munich chants. Unnecessary." under my WikiLogin.

      If it's reverted back, then I will be following the complaints procedure.

      Good on you Reslivo. Immensely unnecessary and provocative.

      Good, sorted :)

      Yeah, I know you can just edit it but I don't have a Wikipedia account and was wondering if anyone else had one rather than create one for this and seldom use it again

      Why get worked up about it, it sums the mancs up, hypocritical gobshites. Moaning about Munich chants but will then sit and watch as others do the hand in front of the face gestures and then the rest of their witty chants about Hillsborough and killing our own fans and then there is that "without killing anyone" song and the merchandise on manc sites that followed. They say F**k all about that as well!

      Good to hear the media finally turn on them after Tuesday night.

      You don't need an account, I don't have one.  Just click edit and you can mess with it fix articles.

      I've also done some editing regarding the events of the Heysel Stadium Disaster. Under the 1984/85 English Football Page, sub-heading Diary of the Season, I took exception to the original phrase "were killed" by Liverpool fans on the date of the final, and replaced it with a more accurate version of events on the night itself.

      FYI - They did it again, so I've re-edited it.

      Ridiculous.

      Well in Res.

      The worst part is there are people out there that fully believe everything they read on wikipedia.

      Look at the Suarez case this year; there are people that believe anything they read in print or on a website full stop. Critical thinking skills and checking sources of stories doesn't happen with too many people.
      Well done Res for changing!

      What I wonder is who the loser(s) is/are that insist on changing it

      It's not like it's even on the LFC or MUFC page

      Keeping tabs on it to make sure the name of your club isn't sullied is understandable but continually putting that on one small wikipedia page is just pathetic

      Better man than me Res, I'd forgotten all about this
