Bilbao/Sociedad

Hey, I don't think our paths have crossed before but I saw your comment on Talk:Athletic Bilbao in European football and you are indeed 100% right that Real Sociedad had a Basque-only policy. I read - I believe in this book - that the specifics were that Bilbao signed players from their province of Biscay, Sociedad from their province of Gipuzkoa and Osasuna from their province of Navarre (which is now an autonomous region separate from the Basque Country, although of the same cultural sphere). Sociedad broke the tradition to sign none other than John Aldridge in 1989, but preserved a policy of their Spanish nationals only coming from the Basque Country - I can't remember when this ended, but it has. I remember reading in Ball's book that Athletic once fielded an XI of all Basques but none from Biscay - something that to the outsider would look like tradition, but to the insider would look like a revolutionary break in tradition. Harambe Walks (talk) 17:59, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I thought I remembered along the same lines, of course when you mention Aldridge it becomes clearer. I must admit, I was unaware Osasuna had the same sort of policy. Do they still stick to theirs? Kosack (talk) 18:40, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Osasuna definitely have foreign players now, and while I don't know their comings-and-goings, I clicked a few of their players and found them to be non-Basque. It's been two years since I read the book, but I see on Athletic Bilbao signing policy - another excellent contribution by Crowsus - that Osasuna did have a Navarrese policy. I don't know when it ended. Harambe Walks (talk) 18:05, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

A remarkable and admirable way to develop players, a shame they've abandoned it. Obviously not a sustainable action in the modern game. Kosack (talk) 09:59, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

user:rocket blastoff

I've submitted an edit request on Harry Kane's talk page . But no one's answering . Could you help me ? Thanks ! Rocket blastoff (talk) 09:54, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

@Rocket blastoff: Hi, can you provide a link to a reliable source that supports the addition? Kosack (talk) 10:01, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

@Kosack:I have this from Tottenham Hotspur : Records and Statistics . Rocket blastoff (talk) 10:07, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the table on that page doesn't seem to provide a source and Wikipedia can't be used as a source for itself. We need a reliable source to support the information. Are you aware of any? Kosack (talk) 10:09, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

@Kosack: Why don't you search "most prolific Spurs Europe goalscorer" on google ? You can even go to Totteham Hotspur's official website > Menu > search > Harry Kane / Harry Kane recent news . Rocket blastoff (talk) 11:14, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2018/november/kane-levels-record-of-one-of-the-best/ - this is a link to a reliable source 223.176.81.244 (talk) 07:21, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Cardiff City

I see nobody replied to your request for a mentor. You might try looking through the list of mentors and finding someone on that list whose area of interest is not too far from your own, and asking on their talk page. Not everyone on that list necessarily watches the FAC talk page, so they may not have seen your post. Failing that, you can also look for people not on that list who have successfully taken similar articles through FAC, and see if they would be willing to advise you. Best of luck with the article.

@Mike Christie: Thanks very much for your suggestions. Kosack (talk) 13:31, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Page update

Hi Kosack,

I noticed a page had been created on Wiki for myself: Chris Sander - Cardiff City. Thank You. It's very good.

I made some small changes to make it more complete but they weren't accepted. I'll leave it to you to decide if you would like to include the updated text.

Thanks

Chris
