Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 04:27, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Transfermarkt is not a reliable source[edit]

Please do not use it. Giant Snowman 19:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop changing that information[edit]

Going off old outdated websites is not reliable, but google has it listed at 185 along with multiple websites. John islington (talk) 23:34, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What sources say 1.85 rather than 1.83? I have no issues replacing the information, but you overwriting the source is not permitted as it is used elsewhere in the article. Giant Snowman 19:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where else is it used. Just type in his height on the internet is rarely 183 on google straight away it says 185. Can you please stop changing it and if you are just up date it. Also on the club official website it says he’s height among with other sources saying 189, from things like fifa.

Originally you got 183 from a football manger game reference which was made when he was 18 years old. 183 is outdated! John islington (talk) 10:29, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, please provide the sources. As I have explained, by replacing the Soccerway reference which is used multiple times on the article (not just for height) you are misleading. Your editing is disruptive. Giant Snowman 10:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That states that he is taller and 189 also I will give you the courtesy of changing it also check further websites that can give you the same information for the other reference. The list goes one 183 is outdated. If you can do it will change it again. 183 is wrong. I will give 12 hours for you to change it. John islington (talk) 12:28, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also the other referencing doesn’t mattered you could find other sources for that peice of information. John islington (talk) 12:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We need a reliable source please - unsure why you're presenting one source which doesn't support your position. Retract your threats. Giant Snowman 13:01, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also I politely suggest you discuss at Talk:Josh Oluwayemi#Height before you end up blocked. Giant Snowman 13:04, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
