== Football nationality == |
|||
Please note that where a footballer was born and raised in one country, but represents a different country due to heritage, we do not put the nationality in the lede, as it is ambiguous. This is well established. [[User:GiantSnowman|Giant]][[User talk:GiantSnowman|Snowman]] 11:07, 25 June 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:It is not ambiguous : Mahrez holds French and Algerian nationalities, and represents Algeria at international level. Playing for Algeria does not make him less French. Also, he does not represent Algeria due to "heritage" but because he is an Algerian citizen by jus sanguinis. And writing that he was "born in France" IS precisely what is ambiguous : it says nothing about his nationality, because simply being born in France is not sufficient to gain the French nationality.

Also, his French nationality is important because he was born and raised in France and his nationality makes him a EU player, which is important because in France there are quotas for non-EU players.

Hi. I reverted some of your additions of the [[:Category:France men's youth international footballers]] category to footballer articles.

Hi, I’m fully aware that those regions fall under the flag of France, however those nations (FIFA) or not compete in international football, so trying to change the name of each page to “Regional football team” or persistence in changing every single article related to players representing those teams to suit your own personal preference will always eventually get reverted. Looking at your talk page and other interactions with other users, there isn’t really too much else I can say here if you are going to persist in editing nationalities that go against the consensus. All I can suggest is you probably shouldn’t waste your time making those edits as someone will eventually restrict your editing privileges. Just seems a bit pointless doesn’t it ? [[User:Footballgy|Footballgy]] ([[User talk:Footballgy|talk]]) 18:11, 18 July 2023 (UTC) |

:The fact that they compete in international football is not why I now think Guadeloupe is a nation and Guadeloupean a nationality. It goes far beyond football. Guadeloupe is a nation in the original sense of the term: a people who share a common identity and culture and are identified with a traditional territory. And so is Britanny. Cheers.

:: I am aware of this, however to use [[Gibraltar]] as another example, this is also not officially a country, but they compete in international football, the [[Gibraltar national football team]] is still called a national football team for example, and for me to go and change every Gibraltarian player to British on their page would be incorrect to do. Don't get me wrong Wikipedia is a pretty bizarre place, where I have found common sense is lacking at times however if there is a consensus on how articles should be presented then you will find yourself hard pressed to change these to your preference without countless people changing it back. It's just a waste of time unfortunately.[[User:Footballgy|Footballgy]] ([[User talk:Footballgy|talk]]) 07:24, 19 July 2023 (UTC) |

Frenchl, please refrain from adding multiple nationalities to the opening sentences of players, as you have repeatedly done recently with many articles including [[Ilyes Housni]]. We do not state multiple nationalities in the opening sentence. The consensus in complicated cases (in which several factors weigh in, but not in which a player is simply a dual-national), we remove the nationality from the opening sentence and explain it in the next or further down in the lede. Your persistent disruptive editing may result in loss of editing priveleges. '''Please stop'''. Thank you.

Hello Frenchl. I appreciate the recent edits you have made in combatting "Stade Laval" and "Stade Rennes", which are both indeed inaccurate.

Hello, Frenchl, |

Category standards and practices have been developing over 22 years on this project. In particular, review [[Wikipedia:Categorizing articles about people#Categorizing by ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability]]. Please do not change elements like ethnicity or nationality based on your own personal opinion or point-of-view which may not be in sync with how these categories and classifications are used on Wikipedia. And please do not go on a editing tear making mass changes based on your likes and dislikes. Spend some time at [[WP:CFD]] so you understand the complexity that surrounds subjects like ethnicity in the category world on Wikipedia. Otherwise, you could find your edits being reverted en masse.

::Hi; firstly, Wikipedia does not necessarily give precedence to any particular law or national convention, except when discussing them in a specific legal context. We have had [[Talk:Chopin|many]], [[Talk:Franz Liszt|many]], [[Talk:Marie Curie|many]] debates over this in which litigating on legal nationality and citizenship was not a major determining factor. Therefore, when talking about the categories with specific people, I would heavily advise against adopting an [[WP:IDHT]] attitude towards the above, you may land yourself an ANI thread. (To be very clear this is not a threat; I am uninvolved and have no intention of getting involved, it's just that there is a history of people getting on ANI when nationalities are involved, and I like to forestall ANI threads before they happen.) |
|||
::That said, I did notice in recent changes that you made several edits to [[French people]] which consisted of removal of referenced materials. I don't know whether you are right, you could be; moreover this would also fall under the "specific legal context" I mentioned above. However, to be more constructive and avoid unnecessary reverts, may I suggest that instead of (for example) removing the sentence saying that "French law equates citizenship with nationality", you instead change it to "French law does not equate citizenship with nationality" and then tag on a source to the relevant legal document saying so.

== Sourcing categories == |
|||
Hello. There's too much on this page for me to see whether anyone's explained this before, but |
|||
# we can't add categories about things like citizenship, descent, religion, without adding ''a sentence in the prose'' with a reliable source that verifies it, which is pretty obvious really: we're writing about real people, so we need to show we're not making stuff up for the hell of it, it's not technically possible to attach a source directly to the category, and the reader can't be expected to guess whether a source already present somewhere else in the article might verify the added category; and |
|||
# things in the External links section aren't sources (see [[WP:EL]]); people used to dump stats sources in the EL and they were accepted as verifying stats, but that was about it. |
|||

== Citizenship categories plus your rudeness == |
|||
Bonjour, |
|||
You are currently adding {{Cl|People with acquired French citizenship}} to a number of football players, most of them born in France. E.g. you applied this mention to Dayot Upamecano and supported by a link to a generic link to [https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/jo/id/JORFCONT000000006231 the French law repository] rather than a reliable source about Upamecano's or his mother's citizenship status. |
|||
When I {{diff2|1190703700|challenged}} this mention, you {{diff2|1190703945|reverted}} with edit comment "{{tq|Apprenez à lire}}" ("''Learn to read''"). That's rude and non-constructive. |
|||
I believe you can do a useful job by checking footballer's citizenship history, especially for those who represented several national teams. However, I'd like to amicably and constructively suggest the following: |
|||
# Do not make wild guesses of people's citizenship based on your peculiar reading of various countries' citizenship laws. Always look for reliable sources related to individuals themselves instead. |
|||
# Specifically for categories, do not add or remove nationality of citizenship categories that are not supported in article body by [[WP:DEFINE|common and consistent]] references in reliable sources, per [[WP:EGRS]] and [[WP:BLPCAT]]. A generic reference to the country's law (which tends to change over time) cannot support a ''naturalized'' or ''acquired citizenship'' category. |
|||
# Please make the extra step to remain [[WP:civil|civil]] in your interactions with other editors. Although I know it sometimes requires extra efforts and it can be frustrating when others don't immediately agree with you, they can be right too sometimes. |
|||
This talk page alone shows that many editors object to both your personal reading of citizenship laws in regard to categories, and your rudeness. This can improve. But if it doesn't, it is likely that I or another editors will complain about this behaviour, which may lead to editing restrictions.

:Ecoutez, il n'y a guère de source plus fiable que le Journal officiel de la République française. Dans le décret, il est clairement indiqué "Sont naturalisés français, réintégrés dans la nationalité française et saisis par l’effet collectif attaché à l’acquisition de la nationalité française par leurs parents les <u>étrangers</u> dont les noms suivent :". Cela prouve que le dénommé "UPAMECANO (Dayotchanculle Oswald), né le 27-10-1998 à Evreux (27000)" était étranger avant le 19 novembre 2002. Je vois vraiment pas ce qu'il vous faut de plus niveau fiabilité. On a là un texte signé par Raffarin et Fillon, pas par un journaliste sportif pigiste.

:: Le [https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/jo/id/JORFCONT000000006231 lien fourni] renvoie vers le sommaire du JO du jour. Où se trouve le décret dont vous parlez ?

Pour les personnes vivantes, [[WP:BLPPRIMARY]] dit explicitement : {{tq|Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources. Do {{strong|{{em|not}}}} use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person.}} Je pense donc qu'il vous faut plutôt rechercher des sources secondaires (plusieurs) qui démontrent que ''ces modalités d'acquisition'' de la nationalité française ont un caractère déterminant quant à la biographie d'Upamecano. En l'absence de telles sources, c'est moyennement intéressant pour être mentionné dans le corps de l'article, mais trop anecdotique pour faire figurer Upamecano (et les autres) dans {{Cl|People with acquired French citizenship}}. Quant au terme ''loi'', je crois que vous confondez ''[[Law]]'' et ''[[Act (document)|Act]]'', qui en anglais sont très différents.

BLPPRIMARY ne dit rien sur la nationalité, qui n'est du reste [https://numa.hypotheses.org/2808#nationalit%C3%A9 pas considérée comme une donnée sensible], et l'usage de sources primaires est autorisé tant qu'on reste factuel et sans interprétation (la moitié des sources de l'article sont primaires). On n'est pas sur de l'anecdotique puisque c'est un mode d'acquisition qui lui a permis de représenter la France avant sa majorité. Et je vous rappelle qu'à la base vous affirmiez qu'il était né français alors que c'est totalement faux donc la valeur informative est assez grande.

He is not a 'French footballer'. He is a footballer who acquired French nationality through naturalisation. That is not the same. [[User:GiantSnowman|Giant]][[User talk:GiantSnowman|Snowman]] 13:13, 22 December 2023 (UTC) |

:Again, with [[Formose Mendy (footballer, born 1989)]] and [[Kor Sarr]] and others - having an 'acquired' nationality does not make a player a 'French footballer' for our categorisation purposes. [[User:GiantSnowman|Giant]][[User talk:GiantSnowman|Snowman]] 18:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |

Reliable sources all say Kambwala has played for and captained the France under-16 team. What evidence to you have that that is not the case? – [[User:PeeJay|Pee]][[User talk:PeeJay|Jay]] 13:00, 25 December 2023 (UTC) |

:::Because that was a training match against a club (Amiens SC), but this type of match is not taken into account by the FFF, nor is it on Wikipedia. [[User:Frenchl|Frenchl]] ([[User talk:Frenchl#top|talk]]) 23:08, 25 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::I agree with Frenchl here. A training match against a club side is certainly not a recognized international match. Precedent holds exactly what Frenchl is saying: these types of matches are not counted as "official" in any capacity either by FFF, FIFA, or Wikipedia.

|||
:::::Where is the source for that? You've not provided any links confirming this. When was this supposed match against Amiens? Furthermore, regardless of the official status of the match, Kambwala should not be described as Congolese, and his call-up to the France U16 team (for official matches or otherwise) means he should be assigned the French flag in the Man Utd squad list. – [[User:PeeJay|Pee]][[User talk:PeeJay|Jay]] 23:32, 25 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::::Well I quite agree to describe him as French, because he has more history with the French national teams than with the Congo teams, even though he has no official selection. We have [https://www.fff.fr/equipe-nationale/joueur/9984-kambwala-willy/fiche.html a picture of him] wearing the French jersey, but nothing with the DR Congolese jersey, so that makes more sense. In December 2019 there were two matches against Paris FC and Boulogne-Billancourt (not Amiens SC, sorry for the mistake) : https://media.fff.fr/uploads/files/5fe639ce4bb36121151594d6529c8d9c.pdf |

::::::This kind of matches happens sometimes but they never count as caps and are not listed on the FFF website. Thereafter he was called up with the France U16 and [https://media.fff.fr/uploads/files/52b1c07bf2f08fb8391f178ea63819b6.pdf France U17] during the Covid-19 pandemic, and no match could be played against national teams, that was just training camps. |

::::::The FFF website is sometimes not up-to-date for club transfers, but they always are up-to-date for youth national team matches. [[User:Frenchl|Frenchl]] ([[User talk:Frenchl#top|talk]]) 23:58, 25 December 2023 (UTC) |

I just wanted to say that I appreciate your help in trying to figure out the many nationality issues on here. We might not always agree on the most acceptable practice, but I appreciate your perspective and help on flushing out the inconsistencies and variations in practice.

Just for future reference, if you find a source of a player playing for a team, especially one in the lower leagues, it's best to add that team to their infobox '''before''' or at least '''at the same time as''' changing the lede. Nice work, though, on finding Yenga playing in the 8th division. That's some deep diving! [[User:Anwegmann|Anwegmann]] ([[User talk:Anwegmann|talk]]) 20:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC) |
