Orphaned references in Rabbi Matondo[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Rabbi Matondo's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:53, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welsh[edit]

Hi there,

I'm aware of the consensus regarding footballers of ambiguous nationality but I really don't think, even though he was born in England, his nationality is ambiguous - he moved to Wales when he was practically too young to remember so growing up in Wales would be all he's known. He considers himself Welsh in an interview on Schalke's YouTube page and has an unmistakably thick Valleys accent. I've seen it spark an edit war in the past but I really don't think it's too controversial to refer to him as Welsh in the opening sentence considering he considers himself to be so. The lottery of birth is not the be-all-and-end-all; Gonzalo Higuain is referred to as Argentine in his article, Cedric Soares is referred to as Portuguese, Alphonso Davies is referred to as Canadian, the list goes on. He wouldn't be the first footballer to have his nationality specified in the opening sentence even though it's difference to be his birth country, and more to the point, Matondo himself clearly doesn't consider his nationality to be ambiguous so neither should we. Thoughts?

I agree for the most part. He did play for England first though. His accent is Cardiff, not valleys. 86.26.108.145 (talk) 13:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
