Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kingsley Coman, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:08, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Alexander N'Doumbou. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please follow WP:FOOTY standards for ambiguous nationalities.

- @Anwegmann Well, thanks for letting me know WP:FOOTY, but there's no direct link or post about ambiguous nationality inside in the article. Also, the source No. 2 has information that though he played inside the Gabon national team, he renounced the Gabonese nationality and re-obtaioned the Chinese citizenship to play for the Shanghai Shenhua. Is there any deeper information about it(Like other football player examples)? --YellowTurtle9 (talk) 15:23, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- Nearly every footballer who with ambiguous nationality is an example—this has been a standing consensus for more than 10 years. There are hundreds upon hundreds of examples— When a player was born in one country but represents another, the lede is ambiguous. Indeed, I don't believe N'Doumbou's lede should be ambiguous. I believe that he should be listed as a Gabonese footballer, because he represented Gabon internationally and cannot represent China internationally, but I am willing to agree with it being ambiguous in good faith. However, adding "Chinese" to the lede is demonstrably incorrect and against decades-old consensus. Anwegmann (talk) 16:10, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- I see... I understand your opinion, but as you know, People's Republic of China(commonly China in English Wikipedia) prohibits its citizens of getting multi nationalities, his legal nationality status is only Chinese, not Gabonese(as he renounced Gabon passport in the source, and other user's Edit summary). But thinking that he previously represented Gabon internationally, for me, it can be said that his lede has to be dealt with ambiguity. --YellowTurtle9 (talk) 09:28, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
