Infobox

What is the purpose of (repeatedly!) removing the infobox from your page? I thought part of your thing was making information accessible and easy to understand, which is one of the points of an infobox: even if some of the same information is rendered in prose, an infobox is standardized and easily scannable. And I thought another part was adhering to conventions for that same purpose, which the presence of an infobox on every player's page is an example of—not a practice fully adhered to, but an aspirational one we should work toward, not undo work already done toward.

I also don't see how the (presumed) fact that "many stats misspell [your] name anyway" argues against any of this—surely convenient access to some information is better than none? Your NAQT stats are complete as far as I can tell, except perhaps insofar as you might have played under completely fake names (not mere misspellings) or tournaments on NAQT questions did not submit individual results at all—I reviewed all the player records for the two schools you ostensibly graduated from (what word would you use if not "alumnus"?) and there are no names that resemble yours without being correctly combined into your history. If other results screw up your name, that's unfortunate (and if I were you I'd try to get them changed, which you may have already done), but I don't think it's a good reason to make it less convenient to access the over 60 results that are listed for you, under your correctly spelled name, on Harry White's site.
