Llansà in 1970

• ... that Núria Llansà (pictured) was Barcelona's starting goalkeeper in 1972 when she instead played a match at right-back?

  • Comment: Sources in article - a compendium of match reports. Can come up with other hooks.

• The article is well-sourced, long enough, new enough. There are a few grammatical mistakes, but they can be easily corrected. It's a good hook in principle, but needs to be rephrased. Maybe something like: she started as both a goalkeeper and right-back in the 1972 season? Cardofk (talk) 08:10, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

• The hook doesn't need to be rephrased, it makes perfect sense. Unlike the proposal, which as written could be misunderstood to suggest she did both at the same time. Kingsif (talk) 21:44, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

• That's funny, because that is what I thought when I read the hook, that she played both at the same time. Cardofk (talk) 07:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC) Please understand that as the audience, all I have are the words on the screen and not the information behind them. While it may appear to make perfect sense to the author, to the audience small meanings matter. All I wanted to do was help and I did say "something like".

• • • Perhaps it's a terminology issue, then, as "starting goalkeeper" means first-choice goalkeeper, but without effectively insulting the other options. If you think first-choice will be better understood by a wider audience, we should go with that. And maybe there's other word issues, because several of your in-article substitutions (word choices aren't grammar, BTW) are using words that are not synonyms and are thereby obfuscating meaning, please stop.

• Never mind, I've read/translated the source material, it doesn't explain why she played there. With such a brief match report, you've done your best to get a hook out of it. Cardofk (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

• @Cardofk: Absolutely don't worry, trying to get stuck in yourself ;) Being pretty familiar with the players and team, I can say that Llansà had previously (as the article mentions) played in defense at least once, and that teams at the time weren't robust enough that they always had enough players. This is when position shenanigans usually happened. Llansà was the best goalkeeper they had, but if the team didn't have enough defenders and she was so much a better defender than the second choice goalkeeper, balancing the squad is probably the reason. More recent sources are more in-depth, but maybe too fluffy for me personally to want to use for a hook. Kingsif (talk) 21:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
