Hey Bagumba, would you mind doing something about this account? They were warned on their talk page about the problematic username a year ago, but didn't respond, and have continued editing up to as recently as three days ago. I'm thinking a block may be necessary to get their attention.

@Left guide: Perhaps follow up with the admin that left that message. On the one hand, North Coast Football seems unrelated to their Amer football edits. Or try Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. I usually only deal with blatant vios when I see them. —Bagumba (talk) 04:28, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240925042800","author":"Bagumba","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Bagumba-20240925042800-Left_guide-20240925021900","replies":["c-Left_guide-20240925044000-Bagumba-20240925042800"]}}-->

Ok, thanks for those suggestions. I left a second follow-up warning, so maybe it would be best to give them one last chance to respond. If they don't, but continue editing, it would probably be a good idea to escalate the matter via one of your suggestions.

He's a former Canadian American football linebacker. Who knows if that is supposed to mean he's both Canadian and American, or just Canadian? There's no info anywhere in the article about his nationality. The infobox just says he was born in Ghana. Since he's a former Canadian, maybe he's a Ghanaian now? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:45, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240925184500","author":"WikiOriginal-9","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-WikiOriginal-9-20240925184500-Ah_yes...","replies":["c-Bagumba-20240929110900-WikiOriginal-9-20240925184500"],"displayName":"~WikiOriginal-9~"}}-->

Does it count as a Breaking News article if a article from nba.com uses the word "Reports" like "Reports: Knicks acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns in 3-team deal" for example?
