Lassana Diara

Everyone knows his legal name, but in the the Spanish league players can register under "playing" names or nicknames. When came to play for Madrid Lass was name he chose to be called. The official website (both English & Spanish) and the Spanish sportspapers use "Lass", but I do not understand why Wikipedians seem to have a hard time with this!

Who will be confused? I think that it's more confusing when someone looks at the website, sees the player as one wat and then sees it in wikipedia as something else. Furthermore, people do not use a squad page to find out about a player, they would go to that player's page. If someone "wondered" in on the roster, saw "Lass" and clicked the name, that reader would be taken to Lassana Diarra and explanation would be given to as why the player is called by that nickname. I think wikipedia has some sort of a search-engine where you can type in the name and would be directed to the player's page. I thought that Wikipedia article needed resources to verify statements or claims: team websites, newspapers, etc. But it doesn't matter.

Maybe you can answer why some readers delete the Real Madrid logo from the two reserve teams' articles stating something about the fair use policy or some such, but leave the other reserve team articles that also using the parent team logo alone? In fact, one deleted the logo from Barcelona C but left Barcelona B alone!Raul17 (talk) 01:33, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The logos question was to ask for your opinion/theory. Kaká, Guti or Pepe aren't a nick-name? Raúl was never called Raúl González in his playing career, but he kept listed as that. Anyway, who cares? BYB, are you Devoindahouse? Raul17 (talk) 22:07, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, I am not. There's a difference between "Kaka" which is a cultural brazilian normalcy, and taking someone who has been known as Lassana Diarra his entire career, and referring to him only as Lass. 99.169.250.133 (talk) 22:14, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did Not Report

Why don't you look up what Did Not Report means first? Pitcock retired but the team placed him on the DNR list because if Pitcock ever comes back they still have his remaining contract. When a player retires and is still under contract with the team, the team puts him on the Reserve/Retired list like the Farve situation with the Packers or on the DNR like Pitcock. Pitcock will stay on the DNR until his contract runs out (because players with a contract have to report to camp regardless if they are retired or not; unless they are on the R/R list) or the team cuts ties with him. Do not remove Pitcock again from the Colts roster since I have just explained it to you or you will possibly get blocked since this can be considered as vandalism.
