Hej. Do you know someone, who could lock this page. All the time the same nonsences. -- Makenzis (talk) 09:18, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing an issue with the page. What would be the reason for protecting it? Anwegmann (talk) 14:23, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- Do UR homework, please. Someone all the time refreshing fake stats, matches, goals. -- Makenzis (talk) 13:58, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Olmstead Luca
[edit source]In the case of [[Olmstead Luca]] you need to place wording in the article to support categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:20, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean, as the language in the article is rather clear. In any case, though, I'm finding a few sources that explicitly claim that he was German, so we need to dig deeper into this anyway. See, for example, here and here. Anwegmann (talk) 15:23, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
- In like manner, his name and Luca family name do not appear in the 1843 Liberian census, either as emigrants or settlers. So him being Liberian is suddenly questionable. Anwegmann (talk) 15:24, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Question
[edit source]Which WP:FOOTY thread deals with players who were born in one country and then immigrated to another country where they then represented? With Erling Haaland for example, I'm pretty sure he was a Norwegian citizen when he was born, despite being born in England, because of his parents, but with someone like Tani Oluwaseyi, who was born in Nigeria (and did not already have Canadian nationality), but then immigrated to Canada where he chose to represent, is it different? Raskuly 🐰 22:14, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- It's universal practice. In some cases, like Haaland and Gio Reyna, for example, when the player has almost no relation to their birth place, the lede is not ambiguous, as you note. But moving somewhere new at the age of 10 is not within that category. That's being raised in one place before moving to another. I think, in this case, Haaland falls rather clearly into WP:OTHERSTUFF. Anwegmann (talk) 22:55, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- Okay, I was just trying to understand where the line is drawn. Raskuly 🐰 23:09, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- No problem at all. I'm going to start a new thread on WP:FOOTY to try to arrive at a final consensus on this, as it seems as though a number of editors are moving away from this, and it's becoming a bit unclear. Anwegmann (talk) 00:33, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- How would this apply to someone like Folarin Balogun, who was born in the US, but moved to England very early in his life, represented both England the US at a youth level, but then became a full US senior international? Raskuly 🐰 18:32, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- Balogun has been a point of contention for some time (see the outrageous complex Talk page discussion). I believe that Balogun's lede should follow the standard practice—he was born in the United States and currently represents the United States, so he is "American" in the lede. Others believe that his upbringing in England means that his nationality is ambiguous. I'm not opposed to that logic, but I am opposed to the fact that that logic runs counter to near universal practice across all of WP:FOOTY—i.e. born in X and currently plays for X = nationality is X. See what I mean? The ambiguity in Balogun's lede specifically feels very arbitrary and imposed to me. There's no way for us really to know whether he considers himself more English or more American, but we can be sure that as far as he is a footballer (or soccer player), he is distinctly "American." So we should go with that barring any other clear, explicit, and sourced evidence to the contrary. Anwegmann (talk) 19:15, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- A lot of players switch between associations at a youth level. This is certainly very common with the US and other (usually CONCACAF) federations. If Balogun had ended his international career as an England youth international, it would make sense for his nationality to be ambiguous in lead, but since he was born in the US and then represented the US at a senior level (and crucially, never England), it would make sense just to call him American (at least to me). I believe there isn't consensus that senior caps take precedent over youth caps for nationality, though. Raskuly 🐰 19:54, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- I totally agree. I've started a discussion at WP:FOOTY to try to seek a consensus about all this, but I'm not entirely hopeful it will work. A lot of editors hyper-focus of really specific examples and tend to reject establishing universal practice. It's frustrating at times, but that's the way of things!
- And yeah, the US has a particularly large number of players who have strange nationality issues. Most of them, I think, are treated correctly, but Balogun is an oddity because some editors insist on ambiguity. C'est la vie, as it were. Thanks for your work this, by the way. It sometimes feels like lonely uphill work. Haha! Anwegmann (talk) 20:38, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- I'm still following the discussion by the way. I subscribed to the thread when you created it. Raskuly 🐰 22:23, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
- Good! I think it's headed in a good direction. It took a while to get going at first, but I think it's taking form now. Anwegmann (talk) 22:30, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Question about transfermarkt.com
[edit source]I would like to know how reliable the sources at https://www.transfermarkt.com are? If I remember correctly, you told me they are not reliable. Iliochori2 (talk)
- They are not reliable. Anwegmann (talk) 14:00, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- So I remember well. I'm asking this because another user is providing me with Transfermarkt as a resource to show me different statistics. Iliochori2 (talk) 15:55, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- They are incorrect in doing that. It is longstanding consensus that Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. Anwegmann (talk) 16:48, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your precious support. Iliochori2 (talk) 17:21, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Question about soccer match Technical victory
[edit source]Hello, I have one more question to avoid making mistakes. What if a soccer match between team A and team B ended, for example, 1-1 or 2-2, and was won on penalties by team B, but was then annulled and awarded a 4-0 technical victory to team A? Do the goals scored and goals conceded by the goalkeepers reflect a 4-0 technical victory? Thank you in advance. Iliochori2 (talk) 12:44, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
- The original goals don't count. It's as though they never happened. Anwegmann (talk) 12:40, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
- So does this mean that Team A scored 3 goals and Team B conceded 3? Regards Iliochori2 (talk) 17:00, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- I apologize for the confusion in the previous message. I meant, does this mean that Team A scored 4 goals and Team B conceded 4? Regards Iliochori2 (talk) 17:08, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- Yes. Anwegmann (talk) 18:29, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification and support. Have a nice day. Iliochori2 (talk) 19:44, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
