Please note that this got moved to mainspace despite your comment about the lack of SIGCOV. I haven't done a before search yet but it might be one to look out for, from a notability perspective. A few of this user's articles are getting accepted now (I've declined all of the ones that I've seen as none of them have even one example of SIGCOV). I believe that their restrictions might get lifted soon but I don't think that they are ready. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:17, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Spiderone: I agree that this user is definitely not ready for restrictions to be lifted. Indeed, given their history of sockpuppeting and their seeming inability to understand the standards of WP:SIGCOV as well as the basics of WP:COMPETENCE in written English, I don't think their ban should have been lifted. But here we are...I appreciate your work continuing to explain to this user the principles of SIGCOV and actually giving their article drafts due diligence. I am happy to help in any way I can. Anwegmann (talk) 00:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that they have added a lot of new sources to all of the articles that we have sent to AfD. I haven't checked every single one yet but all of what I have seen has been quantity rather than quality, i.e. WP:REFBOMB. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Spiderone: I've noticed the same thing. I've checked a lot of them that weren't already obviously REFBOMBs, and everything that I've seen has been exactly that. This user does not seem to understand the difference between SIGCOV and REFBOMBing. Frustrating. Anwegmann (talk) 19:27, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In reply to your comment on Draft:Oleksandr Rudenko, my plan is to reject the next submission rather than merely decline, which will prevent further resubmission (unless SIGCOV is actually added, of course). If the user then decides to move over to mainspace to circumvent AfC, we can then send it to a 3rd AfD and report the account for breach of their agreed unblock terms.

Thank you

[edit]

Hey Angwemeen,

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for everything you do on here. I, and others, appreciate everything you do on the football side of Wikipedia! Hopefully Fulham gets some draws into wins.

O.K. John

[edit]

What do you mean by continuously reverting my edits and the others, which are clearly true (based on a reliable secondary source, GOAL.com)? This is rather shocking behavior from a senior editor.

O.K. John is no longer Nigerian, he is Indonesian citizen. He hasn't held a Nigerian passport since 2018. Do your research, use Google Translate to read the cited GOAL article.

If my edits and other editors are incorrect according to the MOS, please correct the style rather than altering the core information. Dodo Shamal (talk) 03:03, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the article, and it says absolutely nothing about him no longer being Nigerian. And Indonesia disallowing dual-nationality does not prevent him from retaining his Nigerian citizenship—indeed, many nations consider citizenship perpetual, regardless of action. I prime example of this is George Weah, who maintains French citizenship as well as Liberian citizenship even as Liberia does not allow dual-nationality. More importantly, though, according to longstanding WP:FOOTY, supported by WP:MOSETHNICITY, nationality in the lede follows the player's first (and/or primary) nationality until they play for the national team of another nation, at which point the lede becomes ambiguous. Anwegmann (talk) 03:11, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's implicit things: if you become an Indonesian citizen, you can't hold another passport unless you are under 21 years old. It has nothing to do with George Weah, it's clearly a different case. I just read your edit on Ole Romeny's article. Romeny hasn't played for the national team, but he has converted his citizenship from Dutch to Indonesian. There are many Indonesian naturalized players who haven't played for the national team, including John.
Because of MOS, how about writing the lede like Romeny's article, without mentioning the first citizenship, but adding in the next sentence (or section) that he has acquired Indonesian citizenship? It's the core information. Dodo Shamal (talk) 03:29, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
When he plays for the national team, the lede will become ambiguous. Until then, WP:FOOTY and WP:MOSETHNICITY maintain, again through longstanding consensus, that the nationality follows the primary/born nationality. A lot of Indonesian editors make these changes against consensus, and I understand the broad frustration. But Indonesia's ban on dual-nationality is not a practical prohibition. Romeny is still registered, and will continue to be registered, as a Dutch player in the English league system. Otherwise, he would have been denied a work permit due to Indonesia's FIFA ranking being too low. There is much more nuance to a player's nationality, both on paper and functionally, than you are recognizing and arguing for. Indonesia is not the only country at work here or in OK John's case. The George Weah example is actually very clear and very closely related to this. Single nationality states cannot control a citizen's other nationalities. Anwegmann (talk) 03:47, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I added a "Personal life" section explaining John's acquisition of Indonesian citizenship. So the core information stands. Anwegmann (talk) 03:48, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thank you very much for your help and explanation. It seems that idwiki and enwiki have different approaches to the MOS for footballers' articles. There's a gap between idwiki and enwiki MOS. Sorry I didn't mean to be rude, but as you mentioned, it can be frustrating to get reverted without an explanation Cheers, Dodo Shamal (talk) 04:19, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I appreciate your understanding. Happy editing. Anwegmann (talk) 04:22, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to Lommel S.K.

[edit]

I looked further into the page's revisions and noticed that Joey Pelupessy has originally been added as NED, then changed to IDN with no sources or reasoning. Thus, I reverted the back-and-forth warring so your revision is the most recent as of now. GiraffenCode (💬|📝) 23:38, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate it. Anwegmann (talk) 00:28, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Cap-tied" following an allegiance switch

[edit]

Hi there! Hope you're doing well. I wanted to get your opinion regarding footballers who have gone through an allegiance switch this year, and are listed in FIFA's Change of Association Platform. I saw you've made edits on a lot of these guys after non-registered users added information about them being 'cap-tied' following the switch. I'd like to ask for your insight on whether we should consider adjusting the wording, as it may appear confusing that a player is 'cap-tied' without earning a single cap yet and, as per FIFA's rulebook, they can still request to revert back to their previous sporting nationality if they don't appear for their new national team, meaning they're not that 'tied' at all. What do you think? Take care! KibolLP (talk) 13:21, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@KibolLP: Thanks for the message. There is a very longstanding consensus that a player's lede changes only after that player has appeared for the new national team, which is my main concern with these unregistered users' edits. There are a lot of players with secondary citizenships and who have switched their allegiances with FIFA but never actually played for the new national team. So to change the lede would only lead to confusion. But more to your point, I like the addition of a sentence in the "International career" or "Personal life" section about the switch of allegiance, but I agree that asserting a "cap-tie" is a bit much, and also a misnomer of sorts, especially without an actual cap to do the tying, as it were. Anwegmann (talk) 14:31, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Anwegmann Ah, the good ol' WP:ETHNICITY - those inaccurate edits sure can be annoying, or straight up funny when they're constantly done to players who are not even eligible to play for a certain country (e.g. Vladan Kovačević)...
As for the 'cap-tied' - thank you, in the next few days I'd like to edit those sentences so that they reflect on the switch process more accurately (e.g. "changed his allegiance", "his request to switch international allegiance was approved", etc.), and remove links to the Cap-tied article, unless you object and/or see a better way of making such edits. Thanks a lot for the response, and all your work. Have a good one! KibolLP (talk) 15:29, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@KibolLP: Yep, WP:MOSETHNICITY indeed! It's unbelievably annoying—indeed, GiantSnowman has recently, and fittingly, started calling it "nationalistic vandalism." I find it strangely prevalent with players connected to Indonesia—or more specifically, players born in the Netherlands who have obtained Indonesian citizenship. I'm not sure why that's the case, but it's an endless wave of IPs and throwaway accounts breaching MOSETHNICITY over and over.
I'm with you wholeheartedly with the "cap-tied" situation. When I see it, I'll make the changes as well. I'll check out how you phrase it and follow suit, creating something of a working consensus in the process.
Thanks again for the message and your work to this end. Anwegmann (talk) 16:10, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited FK Partizan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nikola Simić.

Nationality changes of Como 1907 players

[edit]

Hi

I saw that you repeatedly un-did changes in Como 1907 page regarding the recent changes of nationality (according FIFA eligibility rules) of:

  • Emil Audero (Italian to Indonesian)
  • Assane Diao (Spanish to Senegalese)
  • Fellipe Jack (Brazilian to Italian, already joined U20, in February 2025)

Altough they still have to debut in their respective new national football team, I think that nationalities can be already changed, as all of them have been called up for the new national football team and, mainly, they all accepted (and, of course, changes have been approved by FIFA). Waiting few days will not change anything, as eventual return to previous NFT should, anyway, follow a new procedure for switch. I think that there is no more need to un-did edit that update their nationalities. What do you think?
Riktetta (talk) 13:54, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow standard WP:FOOTY practice. Anwegmann (talk) 17:41, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Read it, they have nothing against nationality changes... Riktetta (talk) 19:44, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes they do, especially when the player has not yet played for the new national team. Once the player has played for the new national team, the lede becomes ambiguous. This long-established consensus, not my personal opinion. Anwegmann (talk) 22:45, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality change

[edit]

Reason for undoing latest edit on Hamza Chowdhury? He is by born bangladeshi and changed his allegiance from england to bangladesh. He is also in the Bangladeshi squad for next march against india in march. CaptShayan (talk) 17:12, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because he hasn't played for Bangladesh yet. Once he does, the lede in his article will become ambiguous. This is standard, long-established WP:FOOTY consensus. Anwegmann (talk) 18:52, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So I can change it once he plays for Bangladesh? CaptShayan (talk) 05:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You can make it ambiguous once he does, yes. Anwegmann (talk) 08:47, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Alright buddy. Thanks for the assistance. Happy editing. CaptShayan (talk) 19:35, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
