Trent

Hi Matty, just wanted to ask since you added the hidden note re: the Carabao Cup: I've been undoing those additions but LFC's current player profile for Trent does include the 2024 cup on the sidebar. Is the rule of thumb here still to stick with matchday squad? I don't see any guidelines on that at WP:FOOTY. Thanks! Alyo (chat·edits) 15:51, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

@Alyo: Hi, I would stick with the matchday squad, unless an independent reliable source can be provided which states that the player received a medal. For me, the Liverpool FC website (or any other club, for that matter, in a comparable scenario) isn't an adequately independent source. I mean, they're bound to list their players with as many honours as they can. For example, they list Harvey Elliott as a 2019/20 Premier League winner, despite him not qualifying for a medal, as per his Premier League profile (which they would include if he had received a medal). Mattythewhite (talk) 14:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
No worries, that was my first instinct as well and it makes sense to me. Just wanted a second opinion since that change is started to verge on edit warring if I continue to make it. Alyo (chat·edits) 21:23, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Virgil Van Dijk captaincy

In Van Dijk's page you said that captaincy is not needed in the front page of a wikipedia page, however unlike American sports, being a team captain is a large honor, and the common practice is to include it in the beginning of pages. Messi, Son, Ronaldo all have it. Is it ok that I added it back? Char3290 (talk) 00:07, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

After having a look in this case, I do think his captaincy should be in the lead as many other players also do. I look forward to hearing Mattythewhite's thoughts.--WikiBits17 (talk) 13:32, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

@Char3290:, @WikiBits17: MOS:LEADCLUTTER encourages us to "not overload the first sentence by describing everything notable about the subject; instead, spread the relevant information out over the entire lead". I feel that the opening sentence of the lead should concentrate on establishing how the subject is notable, which in Van Dijk's case is through him being a professional footballer. Details regarding captaincy can then be discussed further in the lead. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Lewis Dunk Removal of Content

How is Dunk playing in his 400th league appearance for a club not notable? How many players play that many league games for their career, let alone at one club? Kalkvia (talk) 17:32, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

@Kalkvia: Perhaps, but it would need a source. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:56, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
I had a source and then you removed the entire thing. I used the Premier League, which highlighted both his goal and during the broadcast, his 400th League game achievement. Kalkvia (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
That is what @Mattythewhite does, the most appalling and ridiculous source policeman you will ever see. He's even removed honours from players before when there are pictures of them available in the public domain WEARING the things, because there isn't a website that lists them as winning it up to his standards (which are of course more important than a person's own eyes). Don't take it personally, he's a stain on this website and when he's, shall we say, no longer able to lord over everyone and everything, it'll all be undone. 2A02:C7C:F217:CD00:F85D:D153:6F58:4651 (talk) 18:26, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Carles Puyol

Hi, may I ask you why did you reverse my change on Carles Puyol? The name is indeed in Catalan (the Spanish form would be "Carlos"). The template does nor refer to the nationality of the person (which is indeed Spanish), but rather to the language in which the name is reported. --LametinoWiki (talk) 17:06, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

@LametinoWiki: Hi, I changed it as the subject's full name in the article is not written in the Catalan form (i.e. the surnames not being joined by i). Mattythewhite (talk) 14:04, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Naming of Darwin Nunez's child in article

His child's name is mentioned in multiple reputable outlets. His child has been photographed on his Instagram with his name on his shirt. Multiple articles for footballers mention the names of their children. I'm frankly astonished that you are trying to claim this shouldn't be the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScouseSocialist (talk • contribs) 01:39, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@ScouseSocialist: I made the change in line with WP:BLPNAME, namely the footnote stating that "This is generally interpreted by the community to include the removal of names of non-notable minors from articles about their notable family members" which follows the sentence starting "The names of any immediate, former, or significant family members..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattythewhite (talk • contribs) 22:03, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks 86.6.177.2 (talk) 21:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Kobbie Mainoo

Hi, you asked why "fotmob" is better source than premier league website. It's quite simple, they have updated information. Kobbie Mainoo is 184/5 cm. Google Amrabat Kobbie Mainoo and see them standing next to each other, Mainoo is taller than 183 cm Amrabat. Look up him standing next to Maguire, he's literally only cm few smaller than him. You can compare him to other footballers on pictures. Premier League simply doesn't have updated info, which is normal. He's 18 years old, he's growing just like every other teenager in the world. As of now, fotmob info is accurate and he's around 184-185 cm. I doubt premier league info would be updated for the next couple of years, they honestly don't care Jweiss10 (talk) 14:56, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Most websites have him as 183-186. Here's sofascore as well. https://www.sofascore.com/player/kobbie-mainoo/1142175

I will be changing him to 185 because in my opinion it's accurate. These sources are good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jweiss10 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

@Jweiss10: But where are FotMob getting their data from? Are they guessing his height based on comparisons with other players? Also, I would note that Sofascore give his height as 1.75 cm. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:03, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I just saw that. That's weird. Literally 5 minutes ago they had him as 183, I even have a screenshot. But okay, anyway, I'll email premier league asking them to change it to his accurate height then. And then change it here. Which probably is waste of time because it will be accurate only for a few months, today he's 185 but by the end of the year he will probably be 187 or 188.

Ethics Workshop Participation Request

Hi! We're conducting a series of participatory workshops with Wikipedia editors, administrators, researchers, and Wikimedia employees to discuss, and hopefully improve, Wikipedia's structures for online research (see meta research page). In an effort to get the right people in the room to discuss these topics, I'm reaching out here to see if you are interested in participating as an active administrator. We'd work with you to ensure this workshop can fit into your schedule, but are targeting end of April/early May. I'm happy to discuss any of these topics further here or on our talk page.

Mohamed Salah

Hello Just want a 2nd opinion on something if possible. I added some games with ref on him today and you made adjustment all fine but with a 2nd look maybe my ref is incorrect. In the 2009/10 season in the league if you look here at my ref https://www.playmakerstats.com/match/2010-05-03-el-mansurah-el-mokawloon/910950 VS previous ref here https://www.worldfootball.net/report/premiership-2009-2010-el-mansurah-al-mokawloon/ and this https://www.playmakerstats.com/match/2010-05-13-el-mokawloon-enppi/910960 VS https://www.worldfootball.net/report/premiership-2009-2010-al-mokawloon-enppi/ you see that worldfootball has a diff. Salah (Ramadan Salah) playing compared to playmakerstats who has Mohamed Salah playing. Worldfootball seems to have the whole squads and subs comp. to playmakerstats who only has Mo Salah and nobody else so should we maybe delete the added games and use the previous one or keep it as it is? Bakermannn (talk) 17:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

@Bakermannn: I'd probably leave it as it is. According to the article (although no source is provided) and this (albeit not an ideal source), he made his debt on 3 May 2010, which matches playermakerstats.com's data, while worldfootball.com list his only appearance of the 2009/10 season as being made on 17 May 2010. This suggests that playmakerstats.com is probably on point here. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok i also added games from the swiss cup 2012/13 from playmakerstats. Bakermannn (talk) 20:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Leeds Wikipedia meetup on Saturday 4th May

Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in Leeds on Saturday 4th May 2024, at the Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library.

Full details here.

You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)

I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the meetup page.

Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.

Rico Lewis

Hello. Dude. There are many sites that confirm the actual full name of Rico Lewis. And after doin research on those Prem lists; i found out a large number of irregularities and wrong spellings as well as no complete names. Just fyi Rubenaf16 (talk) 19:44, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

@Rubenaf16: While the Premier League lists aren't always a hundred percent (and no source is, tbf), Henry simply isn't part of Lewis' full name. Per findmypast, his birth was registered with the first names of "Rico Mark". Henry seems to have originated from when his page here was first created with the full name given as "Rico Henry Lewis", despite the Premier League source used at the time giving his only middle name as Mark. Perhaps the editor who created the page, @OZOO:, could shed some light? I'm assuming you got him confused with Rico Henry? Mattythewhite (talk) 20:02, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
