Hey Kosack, I have passed this one as a GA. Good work! From your comments, I got the impression you don't often edit in the military history space so I hope you keep up with it. It is always good to see editors branching out into new fields. I started off by improving some South Korean football pages of all things before drifting into military history. If you haven't already, check out the Milhist Wikiproject page and enter the Lewis article into the writing contest. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 08:37, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Harry Maguire to Man Utd

I saw a picture of him in a Man UTD shirt so assumed the deal was already done. Mizo0ooo0o (talk) 13:39, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

No worries, neither the Manchester United nor Leicester website have any official confirmation and this newspiece was posted 30 minutes ago saying that he is yet to have a medical. So, it appears as if the transfer remains uncompleted for now. Kosack (talk) 13:42, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following a request for comment, the page Wikipedia:Office actions has been changed from a policy page to an information page.
• A request for comment (permalink) is in progress regarding the administrator inactivity policy.

Arbitration

• Editors may now use the template {{Ds/aware}} to indicate that they are aware that discretionary sanctions are in force for a topic area, so it is unnecessary to alert them.

Miscellaneous

• Following a research project on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to improve the privacy of IP editors. The result of this project may significantly change administrative and counter-vandalism workflows. The project is in the very early stages of discussions and there is no concrete plan yet. Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
• The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist.

  Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

DYK nomination of Agnes Twiston Hughes

Hello! Your submission of Agnes Twiston Hughes at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! MIDI (talk) 11:32, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Fred Keenor

I did it because I know that as soon as I start to criticise your article a whole load of others will descend on the article to tell you what a bad person I am, and how you should ignore everything I say. But at least it might attract some useful reviews along the way. :-) Eric Corbett 19:47, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

@Eric Corbett: Ha, well the FAC has already garnered one more edit than it did the first time I nominated it so that's a start! Kosack (talk) 19:53, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm sure it can be got through FAC this time. Eric Corbett 20:01, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Alice Griffiths

On 7 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alice Griffiths, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that footballer Alice Griffiths represented Wales for the first time after playing as the only girl in an otherwise all-boys league? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alice Griffiths. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Alice Griffiths), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Ipigott. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Alice Evans (footballer), and have marked it as unpatrolled. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

@Ipigott: What's the reason? I didn't curate it either, I created it so it was automatically done. Kosack (talk) 08:12, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, Kosack, sorry to cause you any concern. This was of course a mistake which I corrected five seconds later. I was working outside and did not see the green shading on the curation options. It's always difficult to see who gave approval. I see you have recently been adding quite a few biographies of Welsh women. It's good to have your contributions. You may be aware that WikiProject Women in Red is focusing on sports until the end of the month. Further coverage of Welch women footballers would be greatly appreciated. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:50, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Ah I see, OK no problem. Kosack (talk) 09:06, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Reverting my changes on assists on the Cristiano Ronaldo wikipedia page

Although I can agree with you that my source isn't reliable, why is there a long-standing consensus on assists not being present on footballer's pages? I feel like assists also provide vital information about a player's performance and adding it doesn't make the page too difficult to read. It's also the same with goals being present on goalkeeper's Wikipedia page when most goalkeepers never score a goal. Why isn't there a clean sheets tab?
