Re: Lukas Kochanauskas

Before I answer questions, a word of warning. If you work of an A Lyga club, you have a conflict of interest. Please be sure to read the Wikipeida guideline on conflict of interest, and be very careful when editing articles related to your employer and about the league more generally.

On to your question. I'm not really sure where you're getting my evaluation of the Lithuanian and Latvian leagues from, because both leagues are treated the same for evaluating the notability of footballers. My best guess is that maybe you've seen this list and have noticed that the A Lyga is on it, while the Virslīga is not. That has more to do with sources anything else. The Virslīga is not on the list because we've not found reliable sources that adequately describe the state of professionalism in that league. I hope that clarifies things.

Finally, a few stylistic remarks about talk pages. Please post new comments to the bottom, in order to keep things in chronological order. Using the "new section" tab at the top of most talk pages will do do this for you automatically. Also please sign your comments by typing four tildes (~~~~) after the comment. Doing this will display your username and a timestamp, so that its easier to keep track of who said what and when. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.
