This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Please help me with... the link to the page is - https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Dillon_De_Silva please can you help me to make the below changes to the above page as I am Dillon's mother.

1. Change Sri Lankan footballer to professional footballer on the first line, to reflect his true status as he is a dual nationality and is a professional footballer. 2. change place of birth from Camden to Hampstead as Camden is the district and Hampstead should be the correct town name. 3. add FC to Barking to read - Barking FC

Thank you Lhomede (talk) 18:59, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lhomede: Can you provide a published source for this information? — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:44, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1.

Partly done Could not find a reliable source for the British nationality. Saying "professional" fits the language used at other pro footballers' articles. 2.

Not done The source says Camden, not Hampstead. 3.

Done looks correct. JBchrch talk 19:33, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

found his dual nationality detail in the public domain here: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dillon-de-silva/profil/spieler/683855 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lhomede (talk • contribs)

@Lhomede: Two things: the nationality displayed in the opening sentence refers to the subject's sporting nationality. Since he has only represented Sri Lanka internationally, he is referred to as a "Sri Lankan" player. Secondly, Transfermarkt isn't a reliable source. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 00:43, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

the sri lankan international detail is included in the following sentences and usually it fits the language used at other pro footballers to state just the professional footballer in the opening sentence, will find a reliable source elsewhere. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lhomede (talk • contribs)

@Lhomede: The other players who have "professional footballer", without a nationality, have represented more than one national team. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 12:35, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
