On the first line in the Arsenal section under Club Career, I want to change the very start of the line, from 15th October 2020 to 5th October 2020.

Why? The transfer window ended on 5th October 2020, so it was not possible for Arsenal to sign Thomas Partey on the 15th. And it was announced on the 5th, not the 15th, so the mentioned date is clearly a mistake. If you see the linked source (#25), it says 05 Oct 2020 on Arsenal's site as well.

Appearance at Crown court where he entered a not guilty plea and had a trial date set of 2 November 2026 set. His appearance for Villarreal against Tottenham in the champions league as a 78th minute substitute needs adding in the main text and the statistics. Additional information on the position of Arsenal on the playing of him while under investigation and before he was charged in the legal issues section is needed. Comments in a sky sports article provide more balance than the article does and are needed to retain neutral POV “Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta said in July he was "100 per cent" sure the club had followed all the correct processes around the arrest and investigation. An Arsenal spokesperson previously said: "The player's contract ended on June 30. Due to ongoing legal proceedings, the club is unable to comment on the case."”

Why? These are factual happenings which have not been added to the article and not adding them makes the article outdated. Source: Champions League appearance:

Verbatim text changes:

Villarreal

On 7 August 2025, La Liga club Villarreal announced the signing of Partey on a free transfer. The club said that it was aware of Partey's legal affairs, but believed in the presumption of innocence. He made his debut eight days later as the season began with a 3–0 home win over Real Oviedo, as a substitute for the last eight minutes; according to journalist Sid Lowe, there was no opposition to Partey's involvement in the game.

Partey made an appearance as a 78th minute substitute against Tottenham Hotspur F.C in the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League Group Stage, where his introduction to the match was met with loud boos from home fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Villarreal lost the match 1-0.

Legal issues

In July 2025, Partey was charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, relating to alleged incidents involving three women between 2021 and 2022. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 5 August 2025. Partey was the previously unnamed footballer who news reports had said had been arrested on suspicion of rape in July 2022. He was not named at this point due to legal reasons and continued to play for Arsenal while under investigation. However, he was named as the footballer under investigation on social media, was subject to jeers related to the investigation while playing, and MPs and women's groups called for his suspension from the club.

The Metropolitan Police submitted an evidence file on Partey to the Crown Prosecution Service to assess possible criminal charges in January 2025. Arsenal faced criticism for how they handled the situation while Partey was under investigation. In this period, they had continued to play him regularly despite being aware of the allegations and investigation. Furthermore, one of Partey's alleged victims contacted the club and said they did not show enough sympathy to her. Arsenal have stated that "The player's contract ended on June 30. Due to ongoing legal proceedings, the club is unable to comment on the case." With head coach Mikel Arteta stating he was "100 per cent" sure the club had followed all the correct processes around the arrest and investigation. Partey appeared Southwark Crown Court on 17 September 2025, where he entered a plea of not guilty to the charges of rape. He was granted bail on the same conditions as before his appearance. A trial date of 2 November 2026 was set for the case to be heard at Southwark Crown Court.

Not done for now:

Dear IP user,

This edit is far too long. It is too difficult to review all at once.

While detail is appreciated, (in general, but also by me personally) I think you should split this request into different ones that can each be quickly answered and implemented on their own. I think you also know that it is too long, because you had to edit the request several times.

If you want to split the request, I am asking you to NOT edit the current request anymore. (In general, you must closely observe the rules for editing talk page contributions now that I have commented on your contribution.)

I am going to set this request to answered. If you feel ballsy and want to see if another volunteer is willing to put up with this, you can set it to unanswered again, athough I think you really should not and you would be doing so at your own risk.

Happy editing. Maybe I can help you another time. Slomo666 (talk) 21:40, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Ok, I think you did not understand what I was asking you yesterday, so let me be clear: I want you to use the following template to make your request:

{{Edit semi-protected|answered=}} :'''Description of suggested change:''' <!-- Place a description of your suggested change below this comment. Be sure to explain why your edit is needed.

Please.

You can’t make these gigantic sweeping edit requests. It’s too much. Understand that the people who answer edit requests are just volunteers.

It’s really not fun to be confronted with a colossus of text.

edit requests must be

- clear

- uncontroversial

- specific: “change x to y”

Please consult WP:edit requests before you change your request or make a new one.

Also please take note that I am trying to help you here by trying to explain how edit requests work. Other volunteers would probably just ignore your request. Good luck. Slomo666 (talk) 18:04, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Edit request: correction for goal of the season

> In the 2022–23 season, he scored three goals in 33 appearances, including his club's Goal of the Season in a 3–1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

The linked source shows that he was the runner-up for the Goal of the Season. He did not win it. Sturdy jaguar (talk) 22:54, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
