Use British English for UK topics, and lead should include "redundancy"
[edit]Please don't "correct" British spellings like "honour" in an article about a British woman, as you did in your major edit to Rosaleen Moriarty-Simmonds. This is not an American encyclopedia, but international. See MOS:ENGVAR.
You mentioned "redundancy" and removed from the body of the article the only statement about her having been born affected by thalidomide. Yes, it's also stated in the lead, but everything stated in the lead section should also appear in the rest of the article, so this was not redundancy. I've replaced it. See MOS:LEAD.
I agree that the article had been crazily bloated, mostly in an edit of Feb 2025 by a WP:SPA, but tidying up can go too far. Thanks for your work on the article, but please note the above couple of points. Thanks. PamD 10:49, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Unsourced birthplaces
[edit]Hi Prairie1202! Thank you for all your fantastic work on WPBL player articles. However, I am noticing that you are adding unsourced birthplaces to nearly all the player articles you create. Please keep in mind that "hometown" does not equate to "birthplace", so it would be incorrect to assume they were born in their hometowns (I was born hundreds of miles away from my hometown, for example). In fact, a quick look on Amanda Gianelloni's college bio (here) tells us she was born in Thibodaux, Louisiana, not in Napoleonville, Louisiana, which is where she attended high school. This is especially important nowadays because AI chatbots often pull information from Wikipedia, so we want to prevent the spread of disinformation about living persons online. Going forward, I would urge you to only include a player's birthplace if it is explicitly stated in a source. Sometimes their college bios will give their birthplace all the way down in the "personal" section, but this is not very common. Hopefully, Baseball Reference will update their bios to include the info. Thank you again! JTtheOG (talk) 05:15, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
