Can we please explain which block this user is evading, and any evidence you may have to support that? Thank you — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:06, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- IP range used by Woking123 (talk · contribs) who was blocked by @Yunshui:. GiantSnowman 11:11, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- (Keeping discussion in one place.) Thanks, and I found the AN post. But I asked for any evidence you may have to that these are operated for the same person. And I see Legacypac was asking for similar at AN. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:13, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- As I explained at the ARBCOM talk page, it's a clear case of DUCK - same editing pattern, same articles, same content. See also here where @SilkTork: agreed it is a sock. GiantSnowman 11:18, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- I see no agreement from SilkTork that it was a sock in that discussion. Only that they note that the user is blocked as a suspected sock. A note and block that YOU made. You're basically saying that because someone saw that you blocked them based on personal suspicion, that they therefor agree with your suspicion. That's simply not how that works. You may feel it's a clear case of duck, but not only is that not a policy, it's not even a guideline. It's an essay which holds no basis in policy. But even if it was a clear case of duck, that doesn't grant you the discretionary sanction rights. You still need some actual evidence to back up your claim that they're a sock. Otherwise we'd be a complete wild west where anyone could block anyone and simply claim that they're a sock of any randomly blocked editor they choose. Considering you recently blocked an IP, for an edit that was not only correct but also sourced, and you then reverted to the incorrect stats, I'd also like to see your evidence that this range here is really used by this Woking123 because that range is not among the confirmed socks of that account, nor is any other IP for that matter.84.219.252.47 (talk) 06:29, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi there mystery IP - see the comment that "I'm OK with the revert and block of 2a02:c7f:9e12:8f00:6c51:14d8:1b23:f46c as they made the same edit on the article as User:Cnomis who is blocked as a sock of User:Woking123". If you want policy, see WP:BLOCKEVASION - "Anyone is free to revert any edits made in violation of a block, without giving any further reason and without regard to the three-revert rule". There is no obligation to revert, but many do so, including me. GiantSnowman 08:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- Again, that's not agreeing with the supposition that they're a sock, it's simply noting that they are indeed blocked. It may be that they do agree, but that's not quite what they are saying. That they are fine with blocking someone based on doing the same edit as someone blocked does not necessarily mean that they think that they're the same person as they could be fine with doing so for any number of reasons. If the edit in question is correct (and given recent history, there's actually quite good odds of that being the case), plenty of others will make the same edit. Claiming that because someone makes the same edit as another user is evidence in and off itself, of those being the same user, is absurd and someone you don't actually believe as evidenced by that you've blocked users making correct and sourced edits for "vandalism" (see my comments on the evidence talkpage for the arbcom case). You've essentially put several articles in a state of being impossible to correct now because you believe any correction to what the source is currently saying, to being done by a sock, simply based on that they are making "the same edit", which is obvious that they would since the edit was correct, so anyone else correcting it would obviously be the same. So to call on blockevasion as the policy for which to block, is simply not not correct here, because you were not asked under what policy you issued the block, we asked you what evidence you based your claim that they are the same user on, a claim you still have provided no evidence for and if you're unable to back up, I might point out that WP:ASPERSIONS exist. So to reiterate, please, what evidence are you basing the claim that they are the same person on? That they are making the same edit, is very VERY insufficient. Especially considering WP:AGF also exist. 84.219.252.47 (talk) 23:42, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi there mystery IP - see the comment that "I'm OK with the revert and block of 2a02:c7f:9e12:8f00:6c51:14d8:1b23:f46c as they made the same edit on the article as User:Cnomis who is blocked as a sock of User:Woking123".

The ArbCom case
These are just my personal views and obviously I'm not basing it on any investigative assessment of the issue. I just feel it's unfortunate that when an issue could have been sorted out with a reinforced commitment from you, a few editors still find the need to ensure that you're hauled up to the village centre and made to undergo what you're undergoing – all past contributions on one side. Anyway, what I've seen of your work has been commendable. My best wishes to you for the new year, Lourdes 02:56, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
Deleted Edit
Hello! A while ago you deleted one of my edits because you thought it was intended as a test. I did intend it as a real edit and provided a rational for it. I understand there might be other issues with that edit, for instance it might not reflect consensus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 李艾连 (talk • contribs) 20:36, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Braakensiek
We have many articles on notable people that need improvement. Braakensiek had been notable since the 1990s and has a whopping 1,221 newspaper hits in Factiva. Whacking a "notability" tag on the article of a recently deceased person at a time when their death is international news and the article is receiving maximum attention is highly distasteful. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:38, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Her notability is indisputable in this case, as I just demonstrated with the amount of newspaper citations. It's one thing, if you're intent on marking your scent on the article, to tag it for references or some sort of specific improvement - it's another to tag a person that you know, or should know if you'd done a basic Google, is notable with a "this person may not be notable tag" at a time when their article is the subject of international interest and media coverage due to their death. I'm not your cleanup crew - if you want work done, ask nicely or do it yourself. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:42, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Lévy Madinda/external links in general
Good morning to you,
first of all apologies for not contacting you directly, even though i'll "defend myself" saying I did not write :@Mattythewhite: (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mattythewhite#Lévy_Madinda) to complain about you or anything, merely seeking another opinion. As you see, he totally disagrees with the removal of the external links (this subject has played several years in Spain and the first three links are from that country, if you discount FUTBOLME.com the other too - especially BDFUTBOL.com, which is 100% reliable for us - contain a lot of info and stats).
I also feel the choice of infobox outline you prefer is more difficult to work with when you want to edit/alter, but Matty says they both produce the same output so i'll have to respect that and thus left it be.
Attentively, sorry for any inconvenience (again, my summary was not all it could be even though it was not aggressive per se) and happy 2019 (note: should you choose to reply, please do so at Matty to keep the exchange "compact") --Quite A Character (talk) 11:51, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- (per part of your last input at Matty's) Correct, I did not originally ping you (and again I apologise, cannot stress it enough), I wrote you a direct message in your page today. Same thing, no (does not excuse for the tardiness, but somehow makes up for it)? --Quite A Character (talk) 13:29, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
I see, thanks for explaining and clearing the mess (I created). Won't happen again :) --Quite A Character (talk) 13:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Reverted edit to Jamille Matt
Hi, I am wondering why my edit was considered 'not needed'? This player scoring in an extremely famous victory for his club is surely notable enough to be included in his article? MotorsportFan2012 (talk) 15:19, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
You still haven't really sufficiently addressed why it wasn't notable enough to be included in the article. This was a major victory for a League Two club over a Premier League opponent who were English champions only a few years ago. Without Matt's goal, the result wouldn't exist. This is undoubtedly a notable moment in this player's career and I think his article would benefit from having it included for future reference. I've seen plenty of other articles on players in which individual goals in regular league games are included. There is only information of one other goal on the article for Matt during his time at Newport County, so there's no risk of the article going down a slippery slope of listing every goal he has scored. The other goalscorer for Newport in the match, Pádraig Amond, has an individual goal in the FA Cup last season against Tottenham included, will that also be removed?MotorsportFan2012 (talk) 17:06, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Please do not move content-dispute stuff from ANI to the help desk.
The Help desk is for help with using or editing Wikipedia. When there is a content dispute, it belongs on the article's talk page. All we can do at the help desk is to tell the user to go to the talk page, as that is the "help" we give to users involved in a content dispute. If the dispute gets deeper than that, we point the user to WP:DISPUTE, which can eventually getall the way up to ANI, so moving back from ANI to the help desk is basically circular. -Arch dude (talk) 19:25, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Editing restrictions
Hello GiantSnowman. I would like to reiterate that I fully support any formal editing restrictions you mentioned you were interested in implementing. I sincerely believed I was following Tony’s interpretation which specified no t-bans, so long as my behavior was not “controversial” (disruptive). I was wrong, I understand how some think I am gaming the system, and it reflects poorly upon myself. Despite what has been said, I am not “self-destructing” and the community’s trust is important to me. I hope the restrictions, whatever they may be, are indefinite, and that I may show how easy it is for me to meet their expectations.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:32, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Directors in Football article
Hi, GS? I have a question. Category:Manchester United F.C. directors and chairmen and Category:Directors of football clubs in England, In this category, What is the meaning of director?
- (1) Corporate directors / Member of Board of directors
- (2) Director of football
- (3) Both
I think that this category means (1) Corporate directors / Member of Board of directors. Is it right? Footwiks (talk) 05:17, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for prompt reply. I have one more question! What is the exact range of Category:Manchester United F.C. non-playing staff?
I think that range is (1) Is it right?
(1) Not including: corporate directors, front office staff. Including: All coaching staff (except manager), All support staff (kit man, masseur, team doctor and so on), All performance staff (scout, director of football, strategy analyst)
(2) Literally non-playing staff - All personnel except players.

Removing unsourced heights from footballer infoboxes
Hello. When you do, please could you note in your edit summary that you've done so. "Clean up" and marking as minor edit doesn't cover it. Thanks, Struway2 (talk) 12:21, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. FYI, the reasons for my suggestion that cleanup/minor didn't cover it include:
- because WP:BURDEN says "When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source for the content, and therefore it may not be verifiable" (the associated footnote goes into more detail); and
- because it's helpful to editors on whose watchlists the articles appear if we're explicit about what we're doing, so they can more easily spot edits that might need action on their part. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:43, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

You've made your point — there's no need to bore on about it. I'll just make the point that there are dozens (perhaps hundreds) of player movements at the end of each Scottish window. I frankly don't have the time to find a specific reference for every single move, particularly those that aren't reported by BBC Sport. If someone adds one, great; if not, it should be covered by general references (soccerbase / soccerway) anyway. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 13:27, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Re: I think you meant "whilst reverting", not "whilst using rollback", at the end. At least, that's what the remedy's been trying (and catastrophically failing) to say. —Cryptic 11:38, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Gillingham Fc lover
I have noted your neutral, factual, and informative approach in this situation: User talk:Gillingham Fc lover. You have approached him twice to ask for sources, and provided links to our guidelines and policies, and then cautioned him that if he carries on he may be blocked. You have avoided templates, and remained calm and civil. To have challenged a new editor while under investigation for inappropriately challenging new editors takes some courage. You didn't shirk away from it, but dealt with it appropriately. SilkTork (talk) 10:03, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Fodbold-fan
Given that you have blocked this user twice recently, and you are getting tetchy with them over the latest incident: User talk:Fodbold-fan, do you think this is one of those times when getting in someone else to look at it might be appropriate? SilkTork (talk) 10:07, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- If he'd have continued to not understand what I was trying to say then my next step would be to raise this at a wider forum - but I seem to have got through to him, as I've found no problems with any of his recent edits that have popped up on my watchlist. GiantSnowman 10:08, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- That's good. I can see that you have given him positive feedback on his recent editing. I think a number of us like to deal with matters ourselves (I do). And I think it can be tricky judging just when we need to step back a bit and have someone else take a look. I think that the moment we find ourselves getting irritated and typing out stuff like "And no, for the 100th time" and "If you're not competent to be editing then you shouldn't be editing" is perhaps the point at which we need to step back. To be honest, I have typed out stuff like that hundreds of times. But before clicking "Publish changes" I pause, then start to rewrite it. And maybe rewrite it some more. If I can't get it down to something neutral, then I walk away. We can't always control our irritation, but the nature of the internet does give us the opportunity to pause before saying something in public that we may later regret.

Uniformity with football/soccer for South Africa
At Talk:South Africa national football team#Requested move 17 January 2019, you mentioned having uniformity for using 'football' or 'soccer' relating to South Africa. As the discussion closed as do not move, I was wondering how to proceed. Back in the April discussion, I made a list of pages which would need to be moved. The are 103 pages with 'soccer' in the title (14 articles, 88 categories, 1 template). Should another move discussion be opened, for instance at Soccer in South Africa? And should the discussion include all 14 aforementioned articles? (Then if the discussion decides to use 'football', the categories can be moved via WP:CFDS?). Thanks, S.A.

Julia Grant (trans woman) listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Julia Grant (trans woman). Since you had some involvement with the Julia Grant (trans woman) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. I have made this request as the subject, Julia Grant, has her own Wikipedia article, so I feel this redirect is unnecessary duplication. TrottieTrue (talk) 02:08, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GiantSnowman closed
An arbitration case regarding GiantSnowman has now closed, and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedy has been enacted:
GiantSnowman is admonished for overuse of the rollback and blocking functions, and reminded to "lead by example" and "strive to model appropriate standards of courtesy"; to "respond promptly and civilly to queries about their Wikipedia-related conduct and administrative actions and to justify them when needed"; to not use admin tools in "cases in which they have been involved" including "conflicts with an editor" and "disputes on topics"; to "treat newcomers with kindness and patience"; and to apply these principles in all interactions with all editors. GiantSnowman is placed under review indefinitely; during the review, with the exception of obvious vandalism, he is subject to the following restrictions:
- He may not revert another editor's contribution without providing an explanation in the edit summary. This includes use of MediaWiki's rollback function, any tool or script that provides a similar function, and any manual revert without an edit summary. Default edit summaries, such as those provided by the undo function or Twinkle's rollback feature, are not sufficient for the purpose of this sanction
- He may not block an editor without first using at least three escalating messages and template warnings
- He may not consecutively block an editor; after one block he is advised to consult with another admin or bring the matter to the attention of the community
- He may not place a warning template on an editor's talk page without having first placed an appropriate self-composed message containing links to relevant policies and guidelines
- He may not place more than five consecutive warning templates or messages; after which he is advised to consult with another admin
- He may not use MassRollback.js
Violations may be reported by any editor to WP:AE. GiantSnowman may appeal any or all of these sanctions, including the review itself, directly to the Arbitration Committee at any time.

Zak Dearnley
Hello! Could you explain your edits on the Zak Dearnley article clearer please? I'm always learning so it would be helpful to explain the changes, otherwise I won't know what to improve on etc.
→ Stats. The statistics were sourced by Soccerway, as was the fact Dearnley was on the bench for Man. United in 2016-17. Yet were removed by you? Any reason, or was it a mistake like the absence of the "Premier League" row in the statistics table ([diff]). Any difference for using Soccerway or Soccerbase?
→ Infobox spacing. I've seen a few editors change it the way you did, but have also seen other editors do it the way it was pre-your edits. Is there an "official" way to do it? Would be helpful to know.
→ Reflist. Similar to above, is "Reflist" intended to be used over "Reflist|30em"?
Thanks. R96Skinner (talk) 14:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Understood. I've always found Soccerway more informative than Soccerbase but if Soccerbase is the one to be used for EFL players then fair enough, I will remember that. How about the infobox spacing [diff]? Is there a guideline behind it or is it be spaced like that for a certain reason? R96Skinner (talk) 14:46, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Ha, that was pretty obvious. Not entirely sure how I started doing it the other way. Anyway, thanks! R96Skinner (talk) 14:52, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
Nicknames
Hi, I saw you removing nicknames a few times already, but I think you don't look at the right MOS page for this. E.g. here, you link to WP:MOSNICKNAME, but that link is about article titles, not about lead sections. The link you want is MOS:NICKNAME (yeah, it is confusing), which deals with nicknames in the first sentence of an article. This states
"If a person is known by a nickname used in lieu of or in addition to a given name, and it is not a common hypocorism[d] of one of their names, or a professional alias, it is usually presented between double quotation marks following the last given name or initial; the quotation marks are not put in lead-section boldface. Example:
Bunny Berigan has: Roland Bernard "Bunny" Berigan."
It seems to me that the version of Aguero before your edit actually followed the MOS guidance quite closely, and your edit made the article less compliant, and less useful for many readers who might recognise him more easily by his shirt name than by his real name, but no longer find the shirt name in the lead. Fram (talk) 09:15, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
CITEVAR
Hey GS, re: this edit, I'm not sure WP:CITEVAR means what you think it means. I'm pretty sure it doesn't trump MOS:ITALICTITLE. The Punch, as a newspaper, is a major work so should be italicised. Nzd (talk) 14:23, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. Out of interest, which bit of CITEVAR were you referring to? My reading of this (which could be wrong, of course), is that it relates to arbitrary changes to the citation style used within an article (the WP:CITESTYLE section above lists examples of the various citation styles, e.g. APA style, ASA style, etc.), or switching between e.g. template/non-template versions, language variations or date formats. The other bits you changed (which I have no issue with) seemed to be simply code tidying (other than the placement of the ref), so I'm unclear how CITEVAR comes into play here. FYI, I use the WebRef bookmarklet to generate web citations. The code outputs slightly differently (it puts the
|url=at the end), but as the visible output is the same, I don't see this as an issue personally. Others are, of course, free to "fix" such things. Cheers, Nzd (talk) 21:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi there GS,
please read this (see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fodbold-fan#Pierre_Web%C3%B3) and drop your two cents there if you want. I don't think this user wants to engage in conversation with me all that much (at least without it getting all "frantic"), and i'll admit i'm not the best handling those interactions myself.
I feel i'm in the right in Mr. Webó's case, no? The new Uruguayan Primera División season has not even started, so there was no status to be updated from SOCCERWAY.com.

- (talk page stalker) Unless there's something I'm missing, shouldn't this be moved to Dani Kouch? Both of the current refs (Soccerway and NFT) have Dani as his first name. See also this article, as well as various other stat sites. Nzd (talk) 13:41, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Certes and Nzd: probably worth a WP:RM? I think his Western name order would be 'Dani Kouch', but his Eastern name order would be 'Kouch Dani'. Which do we use? GiantSnowman 14:48, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Christopher Carrick
Hi GS, I realise this was a really long time ago, but can I just check something related to this edit please? The edit added 0's to the Bradford City stats, with the summary never played a 1st team League or Cup game for Bradford City (per Terry Frost's 1988 book
. Does this mean that he appears in the book, but doesn't have any stats, or that he doesn't appear in the book? I ask because Joyce has him down as playing for Bradford Park Avenue, not Bradford City. (FYI: @Egghead06). Thanks, Nzd (talk) 09:11, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Northern Ireland women's national football team etc
Hi GiantSnowman
Thanks for your support at WP:CFD 2019 February 20#Association_football_in_Northern_Ireland, and for the listing at WP:FOOTY.
In looking for pages to add to that nom, I found Category:Northern Ireland women's national football team+subcats and its head article Northern Ireland women's national football team+spin-off pages, plus Category:Northern Ireland national football team+subcats and its head article Northern Ireland national football team+spin-off pages
Similarly Category:Republic of Ireland women's national football team+subcats / article:Republic of Ireland women's national football team, Category:Republic of Ireland national football team+subcats / article:Republic of Ireland national football team.
I omitted them from the nom because a) I had done enough cats and was tired, and b) I reckoned they might need more thought, and c) any renamings should probably tart as WP:RM discussions on the head articles.
Having thought a bit more, my current tentative conclusion is to leave them all as they are, because "Northern Ireland women's national football team" and "Republic of Ireland national football team" appear to be unambiguous terms..
in the case of national football teams in Ireland, I don't think there is any ambiguity with Gaelic football. The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA)'s major competitive structures are primarily based on counties. Inter-provincial GAA competitions are the biggest geographical units for competition, but nowhere near as significant as the inter-county competitions. The game at its higher levels is so heavily dominated by Ireland that inter-provincial competitions are not even contested by British GAA (the only GAA provincial council of outside Ireland). So despite the size of the Irish diaspora, there is no national Gaelic football team in Ireland, 'cos there are no opponents.
What do you think? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:47, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Permissions for uploading club crests
I've heard a rumour that one of the football clubs in Gibraltar is going to change their name/colours/etc. at the end of the season when the two leagues merge into one 17 team division. If this happens and I need to upload a new club crest, what permissions/licenses should I ask the chairman of the club to put on the badge so I can upload it to Wikimedia for use on their Wikipedia article (e.g. Fair Use etc.)?

Will Vaulks
Hi GS, Loads of IPs are trying to change the Will Vaulks lede from English professional footballer to either Welsh professional footballer or even Welsh international footballer, and changing his flag in Rotherham United F.C. squad list, all based on his recent call-up to the Welsh national squad. Am I right in thinking we stick with birth nationality until the player is capped? And (less contentiously) they are not an international footballer until they are capped? If I am right, is this worthy of semi protection until either he gets a cap or the current international period has passed?

DG Mester
Afternon GS. The user DG mester has been making disruptive edits since September 2018, repeatedly removing references to the club country in the lead. Occasionally an edit is actually correct, piping association football in a few instances. On his talk page you will see numerous warnings, at which point they tend to go on an edit hiatus only to return to their favourite topics later and try the same thing again. At least now they are using edit summaries, and in Wayne Rooney's case are actually using the Talk Page. The strange thing is, on other edits they are actually inserting the club country into the lede and have been reverting their own edits yesterday only to start new ones today. So, not sure what their motivation is. Anyway, hoping you could add user to your busy list of people to have a word with. Ta. Koncorde (talk) 12:22, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

CU question
To answer your question from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Woking123, since the page got archived before I could, no CheckUser wouldn't tell us anything. The technical details viewable by CheckUsers are not tied directly to an account, but to individual edits or logged actions. 90 days after the edit was made most of the technical details, including the IP address, get deleted for privacy reasons. As I understand it, there is some residual information left over even after the 90 day limit, but it's not meaningful for SPI purposes. There are also rare cases where CU's will store the results of a check on a private wiki allowing for future checks past the 90 limit, but that's not applicable here. I hope that clears things up.

Brittany
OK no problem. Is now a good time to mention the contents of Category:Spanish footballers by autonomous community which led me to make the error with Brittany? Crowsus (talk) 15:04, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
- Haha yup, could a bot be created for it tho? It could actually help in one area of interest for me, as the current Category:Basque footballers is a bit ambiguous, it should only really refer to the Basque Country (autonomous community) but some people have (innocently enough) linked to players from elsewhere in the Basque Country (greater region). Renaming the cat to Category:Basque (autonomous community) footballers would look a bit crap, but Category:Footballers from the Basque Country (autonomous community) is a bit better, and is consistent with the article name for the territory and would remove that ambiguity.

John Kelly (footballer, born 1913)
Hello. I think the Frost book has confused the personal details of John Kelly (footballer, born 1913) with those of Jack Kelly (footballer). Both were at Leeds in 1935, as Joyce's book and ENFA will confirm, and they apparently were both born in 1913. But Jack Kelly is the one born in Hetton-le-Hole, whereas John was born in Sandbach: see Jack's profile and John's profile at Tony Hill's LUFC site. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:02, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

NFT
- Let me ask you this Mr. Snowman. Some of the more notable footballers such as Thomas Müller and Romelu Lukaku have unofficial goals according NFT, but they are still listed on their pages and in their caps and goals tally. So tell me why those goals and caps get to stay but any other player cannot have them listed.DasGermanMosesDasGermanMoses 20:36, 25 March 2019 (UTC) DasGermanMoses (talk) 22:52, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
Run out
Hi. This is already covered more succinctly under the "Modern interpretations of Run out of non-striker" heading. Per WP:BRD, please use the talkpage to discuss every single time this happens in non-international matches. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:26, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Family categories
Hello! I've noticed you create some family categories, e.g. Simeone family, and was wondering what the requirements are for them? I haven't seen a page which talks about family cats., so wanted to ask for clarification before creating any myself. R96Skinner (talk) 17:30, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
