Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."

Gout Gout → Guot Guot – According to this source, during a translation from Arabic the family name was incorrectly spelled as "Gout" when it should be "Guot" (pronounced as "Gwot"). However, it should be noted that the official records have not been changed, so should Wikipedia go by the official record or by the real name?

Oppose despite understanding where the desire comes from. "Gout Gout" is both WP:COMMONNAME and his official name. It is a fascinating instance but "Guot Guot" is merely the name he could have and has no actuality. I also think the current lead sentence (Guot Guot, officially Gout Gout) is therefore undue; a correct pronunciation note and keeping the details in the early life section should suffice.

This page should be changed to reflect the person's official name. Professional athletes are permitted to change their names by their world governing bodies with records backdated to reflect such changes. For example, Lizzie Armitstead got married years after commencing as a professional cyclists, and the Union Cycliste Internationale backdated their records to reflect her married name - Have a look at this URL and you will see her married name in the 2009 'Women Elite Scratch' result. https://www.uci.org/competition-details/2009/PIS/33734 Besides all this, the athlete represented their country for the first time only 4 months ago - that short time doesn't make an incorrect name Wikipedia common.

This runner's common name AND real name simply IS Gout Gout. It's what he calls himself, what the media has called him for some time and what his birth certificate says. It can change in the future if his common name changes. HiLo48 (talk) 06:24, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Like @CalDoesIt I get the reasoning but per a 7NEWS article "...the man himself is happy with his name and doesn't want the change..."Call me Gout" he told 7NEWS on Monday through his agent."
I agree with this. The name of this article should be his official name or the name people call him. Or we could put his nickname or real name in parentheses like this Guot Guot(Gout Gout) if he ever begins to prefer the name Guot Guot. Dh415965 (talk) 03:15, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
