[edit]Hi, Wikipedia is not intended to be a place for random trivia such as what you added at Mark Davis (American football). Please see WP:TRIVIA for the policy on what is acceptable. Thanks, --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 23:30, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hey Evan, so I did what I could for the article about Davis and even looked for additional sources, but there wasn't much I could do. The comments and sources about the strip club and his car (especially the link to a photo supposedly of his daily driver) was never going to be appropriate material. But I encourage you to keep looking for sources, sometimes you find stuff in unlikely places. In any article about the Raiders, there might be some snippet of data about Davis that could be used to expand the article. But stay away (FAR away) from fan generated content, its a really good way to get in trouble. Take care, --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 15:40, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
