Questions:

Have you read the AMA FAQ?

• Answer: YES

How would you describe the nature of this dispute? (policy violation, content dispute, personal attack, other)

• Answer: Content Dispute

What methods of Dispute Resolution have you tried so far? If you can, please provide wikilinks so that the Advocate looking over this case can see what you have done.

• Answer: Conversing on the users talkpage User_talk:Rugbyball

What do you expect to get from Advocacy?

• Answer: At the vest least the user Rugbyball to desist in removing citation needed tags from the Martin Johnson article. At the most for him (or her) to source citations for the material there.

Summary:

The article on English Rugby player Martin Johnson reads thus -Martin Osborne Johnson CBE (born March 9, 1970) is a former England rugby union player and captain. One of the greatest lock forwards of all time, one of the game's greatest ever players, as well as being England's greatest ever captain.

As you can see there are some very tall statements there. I have added three citation needed tags on three seperate occasions to that paragraph. User Rugbyball removes these citation needed tags. He has replied on one occasion (so far) to two messages I have left for him on the subject. To summarise his position is that the above paragraph is correct (in his opinion) and thus citations are not required so he removes them.
