Recent reverts
Hi there. I wanted to take some time to explain the recent reverts to your changes:
 * A footballer's place of birth or heritage should not be mentioned in the lede unless it's particularly notable (see MOS:ETHNICITY, MOS:BLPLEAD, and MOS:LEADREL for further information). I left this in at Andy Delort as his switch to Algeria received significant media coverage.
 * Linking major countries and places is considered "overlinking" per MOS:OVERLINK.
 * Transfermarkt is not considered a reliable at the English Wikipedia. I don't have the relevant discussion where consensus was established at hand but you can search the archives at WP:FOOTY.

Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 08:15, 23 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks Sir! I've added a reliable source regarding Adlène Guedioura. Verteu82 (talk) 18:49, 23 July 2019 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Good job! I removed the links for "Spain" and "Algeria" which were cases of the "overlinking" mentioned above. Happy editing, Robby.is.on (talk) 19:14, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Ben Stokes
Hi, Verteu82. I have raised a query about Ben Stokes (and the recent news stories) at Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard. Your input would be very welcome there. MIDI (talk) 15:27, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
