Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Jamie Hamilton (footballer) article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 20:53, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, reliable source for players height is www.Transfermarkt.co.uk In addition the player is now classed as a Scotland U21 player which is also referenced on transfermarkt uk and Scottish FA website, he is shown in current u21 squad list, has played a friendly v Wales in September 2021 and on bench for qualifier against Turkey September 2021. Could you advise if these changes will be made? Thank you for your time Statfan23 (talk) 09:35, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. GiantSnowman 10:20, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

What is classed as a reliable source? His sports agency also lists his height as 188cm…is that a reliable source? Statfan23 (talk) 10:24, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * No, we need something independent - a reliable stats database, news article, SFA profile etc. GiantSnowman 10:35, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Ok I’m a bit confused… is transfermarkt not a reliable stats database? Having checked a highly regarded stats database they have him as a foot shorter than what he is so hardly reliable information. A news article can’t be classed as reliable surely as frequently misreporting facts. I presume you can update the international career info as this is on SFA u21 squad list Statfan23 (talk) 11:12, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
