message: Jmlowson93 has changed the image on the infobox from Emery in an Arsenal top to Emery holding up an Aston Villa top. I think that the first image (Arsenal) is a far more fitting photo for an encyclopaedia.
What does everyone else think?
(If you can edit my wikicode to make the images side by side, feel free to do so. :) )

message: I have re-edited back to that Emery is Basque. I am shocked that anyone has any objection to this. In the football world this is taken for granted. There's a great qoute re Xabi Alonso, also inaccurately described on Wiki as Spanish, but works the same for Emery which noted him being refered to in a discussion as to how he would fair in the English football that went "Don’t worry, he’s Basque; not Spanish".
It's perculiar that certain people in England are so vexed at this. 
To re-state. Emery is commonly refered to and know as Basque and that is what shoudl be reflected on Wikipedia. Yes his passport states he is from Spain and if someone wishes to state that on the page they have the right to add that. 
I note that the person who edited this after me also edited the descriptor of his name from Basque to Spanish. That is even more ridiculous. However his nationality is described, it is clear that most of his name is Basque and Emery is possibly French.

replies: text: The quote that Alonso said is on culture, just as people in his place of work call themselves "Scouse not English" but I highly doubt you take that seriously enough to edit war on the Steven Gerrard page. Emery is not "commonly referred to and known as Basque", most people do not have any idea where any Spanish person was born.  "the Spanish manager found life in north London so difficult". How is it taken for granted that Emery is Basque? I doubt many of his English and foreign players give it much thought. Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

text: The tag at the top is for SPANISH NAMING CUSTOMS, not a name coming from Spanish. The Spanish naming customs means father's surname first and mother's second. If you look at the page Spanish naming customs, Sabino Arana detested this system and designed a system that would be more in keeping with the Basque language. This tag is used on the page for Spanish people with foreign-language surnames such as Marco Asensio Willemsen and Iñaki Williams Arthuer. If you are so keen on surname origins, how about I tell you Bale is an Anglo-Norman surname? Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

message: User:Govvy is advised to discuss the recentism tag as he has been undone by two different users. WP:BRD
WP:RECENTISM doesn't mean that Emery was appointed recently, as your edit summary suggested (though I would hardly call 15 months ago the distant past, even in today's volatile managerial market). It means that the level of detail is too high for the importance of subject. For example, we wouldn't have the history of Manchester United with a big section about the last 10 years and a few lines on Busby and Ferguson. 
We all know that Emery is doing much better than expected at Villa, but it doesn't mean every single game, interview and transfer should be listed. This is particularly out of kilter with the amount of detail dedicated to periods like Sevilla and PSG, when he was winning a lot of trophies. We do have to remember that most casual Wikipedia football editors are a) English-speaking and b) interested in the current state of play, so it is natural that this section gets bloated. Before I started on this page, it included nearly every Aston Villa result, and even records solely to do with individual players.  The thing is that Emery managed nearly 1,000 matches before Aston Villa and there was not that level of detail, nor would it be appropriate on an encyclopedia.

replies: text: Recentism is a wikipedia only word, recentism isn't a word in the English dictionary, the basis of recent media is the effect for WP:RECENTISM, so again, recent is within a set period, recent isn't over a year ago. The template is in the wrong place, and you're not using it right. I suggest you either shift it down to the next section, or remove it and not abuse it. Govvy (talk) 18:18, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

message: User:Aman201, I have rolled back your edits. I wouldn't have even noticed were it not for your edit summaries, which show that you have particular opinions about Emery. This would be fine if what you were writing was backed up by any references or sources rather than your own opinions. Wikipedia does not revolve around you. We must find reliable sources for what we write, especially about living people.
You said Emery was "awful" and his form was "poor", though the sources only say he was using reserve players for the final league games because of prioritising Europe. The reader can read the fact that Sevilla came 7th and make up their mind if that was poor or not. They do not need to be hectored with your opinion as if it is the only one that matters.
You wrote that Emery faced fan protests that led to him leaving in 2012. The citation doesn't say that. The only mention of Emery in the prose is "A media hora del final, Emery, que tuvo una buena despedida en Mestalla" "Half an hour from the end, Emery, who had a good farewell in Mestalla". Again, if there were protests, find a source.
You have been on Wikipedia for nearly four years. You should know policies like WP:V WP:RS WP:BLP and WP:NPOV. If you show that you are only editing to get your point of view across, with blatant disregard for Wikipedia policy, you may be reported to admins and blocked.
