References for mid-season club changes (Adam Forshaw)[edit]
Hello @Mattythewhite, looking for a bit of advice here. I've just added a new row for Adam Forshaw whose debut for Plymouth is today but the SB reference for the new Plymouth row comes up as "Cite error: The named reference "Soccerbase2324" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page)." I've tried to use the WP:REFNAME "foo" citation workaround [1] for the Norwich 23/24 row and then reference it in the Plymouth row as [1] but it's not working. Any help appreciated. Thx!

- @Franburke2: Fixed. The references had different access-dates so I've merged the two. However, I've undone the stats update, as the match is still in progress. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:58, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Great - thanks!Franburke2 (talk) 16:13, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Why the revert[edit]
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harry_Maguire&diff=prev&oldid=1193051244 Hi, why did you revert the fact he captained ManU? I thinks its pretty notable --FMSky (talk) 16:11, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- @FMSky: Why is pointing that he's captain needed for an image caption? The armband is clearly visible. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:13, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

- @Avishai11: Is it the content on the user page that you're concerned about? Looks like nonsense, I wouldn't worry about it. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:51, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Nationalities of British people[edit]
I think you're a native so you can explain me. Rishi Sunak and Wayne Rooney are from United Kingdom but Sunak's nationality is listed as British in Wikipedia but it's English for Rooney. Can you explain me why? Like I know that there are four countries inside of UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) and all that but why some are listed English and some as British. Another example is Gordon Ramsay is listed as British but Kenny Dalglish as Scottish even though they are form Scotland. It is so messed up, I think you can help me as you're a native of British Isles. RushingGold (talk) 13:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- @RushingGold: Well, "messed up" is one way of putting it. I suppose it generally depends on what the individual is best known for, e.g. Sunak for being the British Prime Minister, and Rooney for being an English international footballer. And on what the individual prefers, e.g. Welsh, Scottish etc over British. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:39, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
