Player nationalities

Should we keep the information on the player's countries of origin in the Top-Scorer list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.73.184 (talk) 19:00, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only if it can be reliably sourced. Otherwise, no. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:57, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is the official Kingston Stockade FC website reliable enough? http://www.stockadefc.com/team/ KingFisherMacD (talk 02:18, 5 June 2016

It is, but I see a city listed, but it's not clear what that city represents. Is it the player's city of birth? Is it the city where the player was raised? Is it the player's residence when not playing for the team? Without a clear indication, of what it means, we should not infer anything. See WP:SYNTH. Conversely, players can be born in one location and actually have a different nationality. For instance, Jermaine Jones was born in Germany and played at various levels for Germany but is now considered American. Similar thing with Fabian Johnson. Ersan Gülüm was born in Australia and played for them until he agreed to play for Turkey. Many more examples. At the level Kingston Stockade plays at, they're not likely to attract that calibre of player, but it could be that someone was born in one country and is now a naturalized American, and for the purposes of the roster, should be considered American.

I find the easiest thing to do is if the players are on twitter or if you can snag them after a game is to just ask them. DCFC has a few players of "ambiguous" nationality, so I ask which they'd prefer. Pirmas697 (talk) 11:13, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That would be acceptable for personal edification, but would fail verifiablity guidelines. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Generic Issues

Anybody able to fix reference number 11. I am really new to this, and do not know any HTML. Just learning by doing, but I cannot fix that. KingFisherMacD (talk) 11:16, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You carriage returned in the title. Fixed Pirmas697 (talk) 00:05, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! KingFisherMacD (talk) 18:03, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

US Open Cup Game Wrap-Up

Given the significance of this match, I strongly vote in favor of reinstating the original paragraph. KingFisherMacD (talk) 01:12, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Write it up in the season article. It was formatted incorrectly (scores use en-dashes) and it's entirely trivial in the overall scheme of the team's (hopefully) long history. Check any other feature article from an soccer team to see how much detail they go into. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:04, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
