Talk:Daniel Wiffen

Nationality
People from N. Ireland are listed as that: cf. Rhys McClenaghan, another Irish Olympian. Wiffen's dual nationality and representing Ireland and N. Ireland are well portrayed in the article Billsmith60 (talk) 23:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC)


 * If Wiffen's nationality was not Irish, he wouldn't be representing Ireland. He would be representing Great Britain which NI athletes by default are supposed to represent (unless they willingly opt for Ireland instead). I've added a citation which is Daniel's Silver Hatch Sports profile that clearly identifies him as an Irish swimmer. Daniel himself links this on his own Twitter while also placing his location as simply Ireland. Daniel has made his Irishness very clear. Only you seem to have a problem with this.

 * As I said – and being Irish myself, like Daniel – Wikipedia's policy is to "identify" him as being from Northern Ireland. Thats where he was brought up, like Rhys McClenaghan. The article clearly states that he represents both Ireland and N. Ireland and has dual nationality. Leave it alone, please, and don't be engaging in personal attacks. Assume good faith. I have reverted your changes. Regards Billsmith60 (talk) 10:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Michael Conlan has also represented Northern Ireland at the commonwealth games so that means nothing. Ireland don't compete at the commonwealth games so the choice is to either represent NI or not go at all. There is no "dual nationality" here. He has chosen Irish over British by virtue of picking Ireland over GB AND NORTHERN IRELAND, and literally directs you to his Silver Hatch Profile to tell you he's Irish, as is his right under the GFA. I've reverted again and if you want to take this further, go ahead.

 * Please see Wikipedia's policies as noted above. Why are you reverting without further input from other people? I've reverted you until the matter is resolved by consensus Billsmith60 (talk) 12:55, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I've asked for additional opinions Billsmith60 (talk) 13:02, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I think you asked in the wrong place. The Conflict of interest/Noticeboard (COIN) page is for determining whether a specific editor has a conflict of interest (COI) for a specific article and whether an edit by a COIN-declared COI editor meets a requirement of the Conflict of Interest guideline. For content disputes, after proposing changes at the article talk page, follow the Dispute resolution procedural policy. -- Pemilligan (talk) 14:28, 29 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. I'll adjust the article accordingly if not already done Billsmith60 (talk) 18:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
