Hello, I'm ShadowBallX and I'm a Simple man (aka I mainly edit on the Simple English Wikipedia, where I'm an administrator). Over there, I tend to do a mix of both anti-vandalism and association football articles, but here, I'm just gonna stick to the football stuff (I'm not brave enough for politics anti-vandal work here).

		Great job working on Jean Varraud. I stumbled upon it while searching for DYK noms in Football and was impressed. Nicely done! Morogris (✉ • ✎) 19:42, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
