Hi! I've seen your recent edits on the Angel Gomes article and I just have a few questions about it. Why did you remove the Boavista and the Iniesta/Xavi pictures? They were quite relevant and copyright-free. Since you are an experienced admin, I prefer to ask you for advice before adding them back. Also, why did you remove the website/publisher internal links from the reference templates? Aren't we supposed to link, at least the first occurrence, websites, newspapers or publishers when we can? Thank you in advance for your answers and clarification. Best regards, AideDésintéressée (talk) 05:12, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- @AideDésintéressée: Hi. I removed the Boavista image as Gomes' face isn't visible and therefore, for me, serves little to no purpose. Personally, I'm not a fan of including images of people who aren't the subject on their biography, as it's not something I'd really expect to see, hence why I removed the the Iniestia/Xavi image. I get why it was there, though, as it builds upon the relevant text so I wouldn't be particularly opposed to it being restored.
- Adding or retaining wikilinking the cite parameters for website, publisher etc isn't something I usually do, and, in my experience, seem more often than not to not be included. According to the cite web template documentation, they "may be wikilinked if relevant". To me, 'if relevant' seems a bit vague, but I'm assuming it essentially means 'if a target article exists'. As it's optional, I wouldn't be to worried about them being restored. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:58, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- I understand you about the Boavista picture; I actually hesitated when it came to keeping it before the GA review but I figured at the time it was nevertheless a way to illustrate the subsection. However, I prefer to restore the Iniesta/Xavi photo which refers to his models and is therefore rather relevant for the Style of play section. These two players are so close to Gomes due to their profile, I find it too important to do without it. AideDésintéressée (talk) 15:10, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
Full names
[edit]mate i would like to ask you. Some clubs report the full names of their players like Alderweireld. Whereas the full name squads published by FIFA are mostly incomplete. I dont know why thats being used as a fact checking medium for verification since i usually really on club profiles for proper info. Rubenaf16 (talk) 16:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Rubenaf16: In my experience, the FIFA squad lists are generally pretty good for full names, although I have seen a few Belgian names where they've omitted second middle names. Most clubs don't publish players' full names, but I see that Atleti have for Alderweireld. Whether it's actually Toby or Tobias I'm not sure, but I've a feeling it's just Toby as I think more sources would have published Tobias if it was actually that.

List of Premier League winning players
[edit]Hey, you sent me a message about my edit adding Carlo Cudicini to the List of Premier League winning players article. I thought I had added a relevant source which was his Premier League profile page as that is what every other player had as their source. He played on the Chelsea team in 04-05 and 05-06 and had EPL appearances. Is that not enough to get an EPL title medal?

Thanks! Kpxexpress (talk) 00:15, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Kpxexpress: Hi. If a player is considered a competition winner by the Premier League, it is listed on the left side of their profile under 'Honours & Awards'. See Kyle Walker's profile as an example. Cudicini's profile doesn't include such a section, so he mustn't have made enough appearances to qualify for medals in those seasons.

- Understood. Thanks for the info! Kpxexpress (talk) 00:25, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
His full name is Arend Martijn Slot, according to [1][2] Frost 22:13, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Frost: My worry when removing it was that it might be one of those names that someone makes up on the subject's biography here, it goes unchallenged for years, and is used by other publications without question. I'm quite happy with the NOS source, hopefully they actually know it's his name and haven't just gone off his page here. I see it's been added by another editor, anyway.

Harry Maguire FA Cup 2024 winner
[edit]Hello, back in May, you reverted some changes in the honours section of the Harry Maguire page. According to his official Manchester United player profile, Harry Maguire is recognised as an FA Cup winner. Could you please check this?
"Despite Bruno Fernandes taking over as club captain, he was also an important member of the squad in 2023/24, scoring four goals in 31 games and winning another trophy - the FA Cup."
