When searching Louis Rees-Zammit on google, the summary brought up from Wikipedia states that his nationality is English. Obviously, if you read his page he was born and raised in Wales so it would be appropriate to change his nationality to Welsh. 138.38.173.124 (talk) 17:49, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: This Wikipedia page does not claim that he is English, so this is not a problem we can fix at Wikipedia. Pupsterlove02  talk • contribs 17:59, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Note: Template:Infobox rugby biography doesn't contain any "nationality" parameter. The only nationality Category currently in use is Category:British people of Maltese descent. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:09, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Info at NFL.com
Is the NFL site meant to show height and weight? Where else are those details sourced? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I think the NFL site will eventually, at the moment they are from https://www.wru.wales/player/louis-rees-zammit/ as they are the most recent. LouisOrr27 (talk) 10:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I see, thanks. Shouldn't this source be given in the infobox and/or in "Personal life"? Martinevans123 (talk) 11:06, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * iirc it was in the info box before he made the switch to NFL, I think someone kept on removing it. But yes, it probably should be. LouisOrr27 (talk) 11:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I've added that source to the info box, but the placement is far from ideal. Perhaps someone is able to fix it? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:00, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Either these details need to be sourced somewhere, or they need to be removed as unsourced. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:14, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Height and weight do not need a citation. This is common practice on sports pages. His height and weight are in his rugby profile listed in the external links.-- Rockchalk 717 15:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Let me rephrase, this is common place on American athlete articles, some of which are featured or good articles. Citing height and weight has never been a thing in the football infobox.-- Rockchalk 717 15:55, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, as per WP:V, all information should be sourced. Here's a source for the current values:, although, as I explained in an earlier edit summary, it's not dated. The only question is where the source should appear. This source was added to External links, with the edit summary "Chiefs profile. Height and weight is in this ad well". It's blank. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:58, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It's on the Chiefs roster listing at this page with the exact numbers in the infobox.-- Rockchalk 717 19:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Looks fine. So why can't that be used that as a source? Of what use is the blank page in "External links"? When Rees-Zammit was with the WRU his personal data was sourced to the WRU profile page. Now that he's with NFL, suddenly "Height and weight do not need a citation". Very surprised by that. You seem to have different rules for WP:V over there. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:28, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It's every American pro sports athlete, not just football. You're fighting things that are standard practice for NFL players (as well as other pro athletes). One massive myth on this website is everything needing a source. That's just flat out not true. Height and weight for NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB players have never needed a source and that's not about to change.-- Rockchalk 717 19:52, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see "flat out not true". Obviously you have a lovely WP:V very different Wiki world over there. Good luck with any drive-by vandals adding kg = 255 (as we previously saw with this article). And good luck, Rees-Zammit. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
