| Sorry to ask, I'm looking for a policy on footballers. It's something along the lines of, if a nationality is causing disruption then it should be removed? I'm sure I've seen it in relation to football articles. | |||
| Saw your note ]. I'd be interested in further elaboration. I tend to side with your viewpoint, however it appears that there are *many* collegiate soccer season articles that currently exist (I should know, I went through all the DI men's soccer ones just recently), and even more redirects which seem pointless. My loose interpretation of ] for bullet point 3 is that if a collegiate team is playing Division I soccer and makes the NCAA tournament, then it should qualify for an article as the guideline is currently written. As such, I've left those articles to exist out there. I'd be interested if you view it any differently or if I'm interpreting correctly. ] (]) 17:48, 12 September 2021 (UTC) | |||

| :The general rule is - if someone is born in one country but plays for another through e.g. parentage, do not mention the nationality straight after the date of birth (e.g. ]). For Hamza, until he actually plays for Bangladesh, I think saying he is 'English footballer' is fine. If/when he plays for Bangladesh, remove the nationality. ]] 17:15, 4 January 2025 (UTC) | |||

Advice if you have a mo
Sorry to ask, I'm looking for a policy on footballers. It's something along the lines of, if a nationality is causing disruption then it should be removed? I'm sure I've seen it in relation to football articles. The reason I'm asking is because there is some disruption over at Hamza Choudhury. Any advice? Thanks in advance, Knitsey (talk) 17:06, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- The general rule is - if someone is born in one country but plays for another through e.g. parentage, do not mention the nationality straight after the date of birth (e.g. Riyad Mahrez). For Hamza, until he actually plays for Bangladesh, I think saying he is 'English footballer' is fine. If/when he plays for Bangladesh, remove the nationality. GiantSnowman 17:15, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Lovely, thank you. I was fairly sure I had come across a discussion. Appreciate the advice, ta, Knitsey (talk) 17:18, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

I’m not sure what to write here but I ask you read it
Hi Mr. Snowman,
I want to sincerely apologize for my actions and I realize that we both were getting frustrated and I apologize for that.
I'm starting to realize your point regarding the inexperience and I'm starting to realize although it is true and I don't want it to disqualify my vote, I feel like it is necessary to somehow be proactive about.
I was wondering if you would considering "adopting" me and be a mentor? I know we just argued a few hours ago but I'm realizing I really do need someone to help guide me and with the warning I already got for a satire edit (which was fully my fault), I'm starting to realize that maybe I don't know the Misplaced Pages's ins and outs as I thought.
I have been mostly trying to stay behind the scenes and been working on promoting this article but in light of recent events although I'm still working on it, I definitely need someone to mentor me. Would you consider adopting me?
