Sources

You need to read the WP:BLP guidelines. And information that could be seen as libellous needs a source. You have now added sources, so there is no problem but the onus is always on you to add sources to text, not for me to refrain from removing it. Also bear in mind that Wikipedia is not censored, those little "expletive deleted" boxes can go, this is not the Nixon tapes. And finally I would be careful of WP:OWN, I see you have a barnstar for your work on that one article, don't let that make you think that you are the olny editor who is allowed to edit that article. I have no interest in Isiah Thomas, I just went past the article and saw some remarks which stood out as possibly in violation of our policies, so I took them out, as I would do on any article. Remember that when editing an article it is important that the information is backed up otherwise it may go, the quote you have on the page about "I am innocent" has no source, if I were you I would find one or another editor may remove it.

Per WP:CRYSTAL, we only change an athlete's team details based on an official signing; not a deal agreed in principle. Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 03:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

June 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to New York Yankees, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The material you removed appears to have been sourced, and you did not provide any explanation for the change in your edit summary. Bdb484 (talk) 02:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to New York Yankees. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Bdb484 (talk) 02:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that with these two edits: [1] and [2] you removed facts regarding the DHL awards. Since you didn't include an edit summary, I am not sure why you did this. Care to share? Atlantabravz (talk) 11:34, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I contend that the DHL Award is notable. See here: DHL Delivery Man of the Year Award. Considering the fact that he broke the all-time saves record and still didn't win seems to be worth mentioning. MLB has also sanctioned that award just as they do the Rolaids Relief Man Award. Atlantabravz (talk) 23:00, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2009 World Series

I'm sorry, you're simply wrong. You are removing a well-referenced statement from the expert in the field. Yes, it is an opinion, but referenced expert opinions are perfectly allowable. Staxringold _talk^contribs 01:35, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This link http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2009/news/story?id=4614592 clearly shows AJ Burnett's success on pitching on short rest, actual facts should matter more than the opinion and commentary of some talking head that the average baseball fan hasn't even heard of.

Actually what that shows is a very small sample of data, which is quite meaningless. I actually don't care about the argument, what I do care about is adding pointy edits like "contrary to the facts" and putting unformatted citations into an already evaluated good article. I'd be perfectly happy to see that excellent source used "However, Burnett had pitched effectively on short rest up to this point, going X-Y with a Z.ZZ ERA" or whatever.[formatting ref] Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:47, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just not a fan of editors dumping aggressive text and an unformatted reference into an article and just expecting people to clean it up for them. Take two more seconds of work and you've added a nice, useful counterpoint to an article. The way it was looked a lot like vandalism. Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:57, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No hard feelings but an unformatted reference is hardly vandalism. But constantly deleting rather than fixing material in an ongoing back and forth is an edit war. I'm just not a fan of superfluous and speculative text that detracts from the factual occurrences an article is based on.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to 2009 World Series has been reverted, as it introduced negative or controversial biographical material without providing a reliable source for this information. Wikipedia requires that all such material be sourced to address the issue of libel. Thank you. elektrik SHOOS 19:36, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
