Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Roslagen! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

2009–10 A.C. Milan season
I'm not really involved into season articles, but as far as I know, the opponents' goalscorers are not usually listed. You can check yourself at WP:SEASONS. However, I really appreciate your work and your commitment. So, I suggest you might join their task-force and learn how they work. ;-) — Luxic (talk) 16:57, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I know you've done a lot of work, but articles of the same kind are supposed to be consistent. That's why we have WikiProjects and the Manuals of Style: they set standards based on consesus, which editors are expected to follow. If you don't agree about something, you can discuss the matter on the WikiProject talk page and propose a change. — Luxic (talk) 22:41, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Expatriates here, there and everywhere
Not sure what the point is of your mass editing of people to add multiple locations where they are expats? Surely in general people (for tax purposes etc) live in one location? I have already revert one of your edits and will continue to do so. If you feel the need to add them again please provide a RS. Bjmullan (talk) 12:09, 13 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, in those cases, the people have lived in different places. If you take Jacques Villeneuve as the ideal example, he was born in Canada to racing driver Gilles and his wife Joanne Villeneuve. When his father got a contract with Ferrari in Europe, they moved to Monaco. Following Gilles' death, Jacques and his family moved to Switzerland, where he stayed until he got an offer to race in the Japanese Formula Three Championship, which rendered he moved there for a year. Then he contested IndyCar in the United States, residing in Florida for a couple of years. Having won IndyCar and Indianapolis 500, he moved to Formula One, and then resided in Monaco, until he moved to Switzerland once more, when he and wife Johanna expected their first child. So, there you are.

Roslagen (talk) 12:14, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The question is is this information noteworthy? I fear not and it could also mislead the reader. The information about Jacques (or anyone else for that matter) moving here and there can be covered in the article. Bjmullan (talk) 12:49, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * In my opinion it should be, because in most articles about civilian persons, descents and expatriate countries are covered, so that shoudl apply to sportspeople as well, if somebody bothers to add it? Roslagen 14:24, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it's noteworthy at all, especially since where these people lived isn't actually relevant to anything, and has no bearing on what they did in life. Racing drivers live in many different countries throughout their lives, and categorising them based on where they lived part-time for a couple of years here and there seems pointless. Moreover, very little of this stuff is mentioned in the articles themselves, particularly all these guys who may or may not have lived in Monaco at some point. Therefore the categories are misleading. I think a consensus should either be produced, or established. Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:48, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Parma F.C. and associated articles
Hi there, I've recently tweaked the main Parma F.C. article and have supplemented it with a few additional articles and plan to keep the 2010-11 season article up-to-date as well. While browsing, I noticed you had created several season articles for Parma and I was just wondering where you got your statistics for previous seasons from, as they have by and large been a great help. Thanks! Omgosh30 (talk) 00:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. And where did you get the descriptions of each season from? Or did you write them yourself based on the club's main article? Keep up the great work.Omgosh30 (talk) 23:11, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Frankly, I've got those from my own memories, since I followed Serie A closely in those years. It's not very complicated, you just need to briefly sum up the season, and mark out if there's been any outstanding players ;) Roslagen (talk) 06:01, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Categories, re Mauro Zárate
Hello. I undid your addition of several categories to Mauro Zárate before, and am about to do so again. WP:BLP says that "the case for each category must be made clear by the article text and its reliable sources". There's nothing in the article to indicate that Mr Zárate is of Spanish descent or that he is a naturalised Italian citizen. Without article text verified by reliable sources, those categories don't belong on the page. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:58, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Zárate is a Spanish name, and no other than Spaniards came to Argentina with Spanish names. Therefore he is of partial Spanish descent, which, of course, goes for most Argentinians... He acquired his Italian citizenship with approval of his Italian descent, and is therefore a naturalised Italian citizen. Roslagen (talk) 19:56, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I still think that you need to read Overcategorization as well as WP:BLP. Bjmullan (talk) 22:43, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If his only link with Spain is at possibly some centuries distance, like most Argentinians, that strikes me as too tenuous a link to be a valuable categorisation. Nevertheless, having a surname associated with a particular nation isn't a reliable published source for his being of that descent. As to naturalisation, if he is indeed a naturalised citizen of Italy, there should be no difficulty finding a reliable published source to confirm it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Italian Wikipedia is indeed listing Zárate as an Italian citizen and here's an article in Italian suggesting that Zárate would consider playing for the Italian national team, having received his Italian passport in 2009. Cheers! Roslagen (talk) 10:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Original Research

 * 1) another Wikipedia is not a valid source.
 * 2) "that Wikipedia didn't have sources" is not a valid excuse.
 * 3) "U.C. Sampdoria spent the 1994-95 season mired in the midfield, since its remarkable offensive play from the 1993-94 season failed to occur. " is original research. Calling people "creative" without citations is original research. Describing something as "disappointing" or "competent" without citations is original research. If reliable sources have used these terms, include those sources. If these are personal opinions, they have no place on Wikipedia. Ironholds (talk) 14:45, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Overcategorisation
Did you ever read WP:OVERCAT? It really applies to all the categories you are adding. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:31, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello? Have you read it? How do you think all your categories pass this guideline? Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:04, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've read it, and I don't think they're irrelevant whatsoever. Most categories I'm involved in means just filling out on previous categorizations, and the ones I start are related to already existing categories for other nationalities, especially when it comes to Football players and managers. Roslagen (talk) 19:06, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It has nothing to do with football. Nothing. You have made no attempt to prove if any of these guys actually lived in the US. If they did, how long do they have to live there before you include them? Your rationale is completely and utterly arbitrary and has no place in an encyclopedia. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:08, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You as an administrator should in my opinion not use such ludicrous words (no harm intended), but it's not my call. But it's fine if you delete the category, I have other projects that interest me more anyway. Best wishes! Roslagen (talk) 19:16, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Why do you think I am an administrator? Ludicrous words like what? Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:17, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Because you marked the category for deletion, I've never seen that banner for a normal user. But, sorry mate. It was more about the entire sentence, calling my rationale completely and utterly arbritrary and therefore they have no place in an uncyclopedia. As the most active motor racing writer ever on Swedish Wikipedia, I find it hard to have my judgement being brassed off like that. Roslagen (talk) 19:23, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyone can do that. Anyway, your rationale is arbitrary because you have made no attempt to verify how long a driver spent in the US, whether he had a home there or just visited for races, and there is no cut-off point for inclusion. Specifically, how long does someone have to live there before he is included? Nobody knows. You even included Beretta, who took part in one NASCAR race. One. He probably spent a week there. Maybe nobody questions your edits on the Swedish Wikipedia, but we all edit in the knowledge that we are here to be criticised if someone thinks it appropriate. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:35, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Beretta is a multiple title-winning GT-class championship winner in the American Le Mans Series, so he definitely fulfilled my criteria for inclusion.Roslagen (talk) 19:47, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * What criteria? Taking part in a US-based racing series? What part of that isn't already covered by Category:American Le Mans Series drivers? Regarding Beretta, time would be far better spent actually putting that information in the article text, rather than hoping a vague category would cover it. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:50, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I got to agree with Bretonbanquet. Your time would be better spent adding to articles rather than add more categories. Bjmullan (talk) 20:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Fooian sportspeople of Fooian descent
Notice you're creating a LOT of these to articles. Are you assuming this simply on the basis of surnames? Or do you know? What is someone alters theire name by deed poll, would that then give them in your eyes a ethnicity descent that they never actually had? I only ask because there is a lot, and it seems to co-incide with peoples names and no evidence of actual descent is provided. --Falcadore (talk) 03:18, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi mate! What I've added in terms of Australian sportspeople of Italian descent are the sportspeople already registered as of Italian descent, like Bresciano, Grella, Patrizi, and other dead-certs. Also, I can't think of any male people of say, English descent, voluntarily changing their surnames to Italian ones, especially considering the way people looked down on the Italians in Australia back in the 1900's. Or am I wrong? Not that it matter anyway... Roslagen (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * You're missing the point. The point is you're assuming. No assuming please. Don't guess what you know, add only what can be WP:VERIFYed.
 * We're going to have to erase anything you've added that you 'think' is correct, whether it's a 'dead-cert' or not. Get the evidence, then add it. --Falcadore (talk) 21:21, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * This is at least the second time that your assumptions have been used to overcategorize articles. We cannot add categories to biographies based solely on your assumptions and a self-created criteria.  Please concentrate on adding information to articles in text rather than adding categories.  You seem to lack a fundamental understanding of the categorisation guidelines, and therefore should not be adding so many categories to so many articles.  The359  ( Talk ) 06:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Additionally anyone you have list in a Sportspeople category and also have list in the People category it is a subcat of, remove from one of them. If people are listed in both, it completely removes the point of having a sub-category! --Falcadore (talk) 09:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You appear to still be at this despite people asking you not to... The359  ( Talk ) 17:59, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * And I'm asking you not to bother, Argentine expatriate sportspeople is not an irrelevant category. Basta.Roslagen (talk) 19:40, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Except your inclusion of people in the category is based solely on your guesswork, which is not how Wikipedia works. So you can ask, but no, you will be bothered if you continue to attempt to classify people in categories without any criterion or consensus on the matter.  The359  ( Talk ) 20:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If a football/ice hockey/basketball/handball player plays for a club in a country, it's 100 % that he lives there too, at least during the seasons. If you think anything else, I reckon you're just plain dumb. You're not living in Buenos Aires while playing for Milan? Could you give me an example of any football player not living in the country where he plays his trade at the moment? Any? No you can't!Roslagen (talk) 20:14, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You appear to grossly misunderstand Wikipedia criteria.  The burden of proof (and yes, proof, as in evidence through sourcing, not assumption) lies with you as you are adding the information.  You cannot simply say that every player must live in this country simply because it makes sense to you.  The359  ( Talk ) 20:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * So, according to you I have to break into Cristiano Ronaldo's house in Madrid and put the picture up on Commons for you to believe he is residing in Spain? What if Obama resides in Cuba, Hu Jintao in Australia and Michael Schumacher in Botswana? Any more suggestions?Roslagen (talk) 20:53, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The answer to your question is contained in Verifiability. This is a policy document. Have a read. --Falcadore (talk) 00:43, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm more than certain that references for Ronaldo, Obama, and Schumacher's residences exist and in fact do exist on their respective articles. However your assumption of "All (X Sport) players who play for a team must live in that same country" is not remotely similar to a reference.  It is an assumption created by you and easily falls under original research.  You have no clear criteria or evidence for what is considered "living in a country".

2009–10 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season
Hi. I don't really understand your recent additions to Spurs season articles, such as this to 2009–10 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season. Surely that information is already covered in the Match results section? Cordless Larry (talk) 23:02, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, no it isn't. Thing is that that section only covers the Tottenham goalscorers and the number of spectators et cetera. My additions offer the scorers of the opposition team, something essential when ever it comes to game results. It is the same custom I use for Italian match results, and it's generally accepted there. Roslagen (talk) 23:06, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, it's not exactly the same but it replicates what's in the table. Also, why are you only adding Premier League matches? Cordless Larry (talk) 23:08, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It's an issue of time and motivation. Spurs are not my favourite team, so I just add the league matches, especially when it's covered OK already, like there. Given time and desire to do so, I could add cup matches in the future. This work is an ever ongoing process, you know. Roslagen (talk) 23:11, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * How about modifying the table so that it can accommodate scorers from both teams instead? That would surely be a preferable option to adding duplicate information. Cordless Larry (talk) 23:13, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There is such a system, but unless it's made from scratch it's hard to implement. I don't find it duplicate information, the fact is that I've done this model with all seasons from 1995-96, so it's natural to continue until present day. Roslagen (talk) 23:16, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The older seasons' articles don't have the tables, so you're not replicating anything there but you are with the more recent ones. The format that you're using also means that the reader doesn't know which team each scorer was playing for. I really don't think this is the best system.

Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
