[edit] Negative Material

A reminder of the Wikipedia policy related to information on living persons:

All negative material about living persons must be sourced to a reliable source. Do not wait for another editor to request a source. If you find unsourced or poorly sourced negative material about a living person — whether in an article or on a talk page — remove it immediately! Do not leave it in the article and ask for a source. Do not move it to the talk page. This applies whether the material is in a biography or any other article.

[edit] IP user: 72.147.101.254

It is quite obvious that IP user: 72.147.101.254 intention here is to spread negative rumors and hearsay about the Auburn football program and not to improve the biographical information related to Tommy Tuberville. I have removed the poorly sourced negative material, personal opinions and hearsay contributed by 72.147.101.254 --STS01 15:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed the entire off the field section. The information in this section was highly controversial contested and doesn't belong in this article. --STS01 16:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User STS01

It is quite obvious that user STS01 is attempting to remove all negative information about Tommy Tubberville as possible. Facts are not 'poorly sourced negative material, personal opinions and hearsay'. These items have all been proven true and even acknowledged by the administration of Auburn University as true and the persons responsible have been reprimanded and/or lost their jobs due to this. If user STS01 does not feel that truth, whether positive or negative belongs in an encyclopedic article, then he/she should not be editing them. The attempt by this obvious Auburn supporter to delete truthful material undermines the purpose of Wikipedia. An obvious attempt to add demafoatory information from a rival fan that is hiding behind an anonymous IP address. The info is true and verifiable STS01 -- don't get your panties in a wad because you can't hide the truth. --the previous 3 unsigned edits were by 65.4.46.203

I do not want to take sides as I do not know what edits in fact you are referring to. However, I have seen unsourced rumors being removed before - I have even removed them in the past. My comment is that if these rumors are indeed factual, then you should have no problem citing several sources. Any unsourced info is removed per wikipedia's own policy. Please abide by the rules. And btw, sign your posts. Also, you should should consider registering an account instead of editing anonymously, as people will be less apt to revert you immediately.
But again, the only requirement is to cite your sources if you indeed have them! otduff (talk/contribs) 05:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Based on edit history, IP User 65.4.46.203 is only concerned with adding negative commentary to Wikipedia. If valid sources are found for the information this user is trying to introduce, I suggest that it be posted in a more appropriate article and not in this persons biography.

Based on edit history, STS01 deleted the sourced material and links to the valid sources that were cited and is surely not one to pass judgement on intent based on some of his contributions. 65.4.46.203
