If factual information is being reported, how is this vandalism? I would like to know how to properly cite my sources. MinnesotaMethods (talk) 18:08, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:CITE. If you add the material again with a reliable source, you will be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:20, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was not the first to report this. Coincidentally, I also happen to be an inexperienced user and a Minnesota Twins fan. This isn't vandalism so how do I prove that? MinnesotaMethods (talk) 18:22, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You find a reliable source and cite that source on the page. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:24, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have the URL: https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-will-the-twins-get-to-their-opening-day-roster-r13858/ but do not know how to integrate this as a cited source. I also have difficulty seeing, so written instruction is not always attainable for me. Could you be of some assistance with this edit? MinnesotaMethods (talk) 18:29, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where does this souce mention Correa? I don't see his name anywhere in the article. I've posted a link to citation instructions twice. If you are unable to follow those instructions, you should not be editing Wikipedia. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a YouTube video which discusses Correa's move to St. Paul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp0bx7aZ-hs. This is via the SKOR North -- Minnesota Sports Anytime, Anywhere channel, a reliable Minnesota sports reporting source. I will take the time to learn how to correctly implement this edit, however I do not appreciate NJZombie conflating my edits with a previous user who may or may not have had vandalistic intent. I also have no affiliation to KyleCrick, as NJZombie also accused me of. MinnesotaMethods (talk) 18:43, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What's the timestamp of when Correa is discussed? I'm not going to watch a 22 minute video. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:49, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neither am I. Although, I am fairly certain it is mentioned toward the end of the video when the commentators begin discussing Spring Training. MinnesotaMethods (talk) 18:52, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BLP, we require strong sourcing for any biographical details; that is, a reliable source must explicitly verify any biographical material added to an article. Podcast commentary, unless it was coming directly from the subject, would not qualify. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:04, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to disagree, but I see no reference in WP:BLP stating "...podcast commentary, unless coming direct from the subject..." so I believe the SKOR North source is valid in this case. MinnesotaMethods (talk) 19:10, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"I also have no affiliation to KyleCrick, as NJZombie also accused me of." WP:CHECKUSER disagrees. I will block any more accounts you create on sight with no discussion. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:17, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not very nice. MinnesotaMethods (talk) 19:23, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

yes

Creating and editing as KyleCrick to participate in an edit war would have resulted in a timed block; however, you have been blocked for these same significant issues with sourcing previously as an IP. Verifiability is a core policy, and your full history demonstrates that you don't understand how reliable sourcing works. As you have been Edit warring and socking in order to force disputed material into an article, the block is indefinite.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:20, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Indefinite". Right. See you in 3 months. ;) MinnesotaMethods (talk) 21:49, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is "disputed material" synonymous with "vandalistic material"? Please enlighten me, sir or madam. MinnesotaMethods (talk) 05:58, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
