Wish I had a better award :) - Alison 04:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I've been verifying most of the information. What isn't verified i put [citation needed] tags on them. Take a look at the articles because they detail this. BoriquaStar 04:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

  • In fairness, this editor is posting a detailed rationale on the talk page for these deletions - Alison 04:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Alison. To BoriquaStar, you're going to have to trust that I'm editing that article in good faith, but its hard for me to assume the same thing about you when the references aren't backing up the content you're adding. A perfect example is DDP in Spain. How can you go from saying that a certain number of DDP members are arrested in Madrid, when the article sourced makes no mentions of arrests of any gang members at all? If most of the content added in the last few weeks was sourced correctly, it would be easier to simply add citation request tags. But 90% of that info is not referenced correctly, its mostly based on speculation (assumptions that DDP were involved in crimes that they haven't been arrested for). You're making Dominicans look bad by claiming that they are involved with crimes that sources can't show they committed, that's not good. All I ask is that you find better sources which concretly prove what you're adding, that's it. What I'm asking is perfectly reasonable, especially for an online encyclopedia. 74.230.195.78 04:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I didn't say there were arrests. I'm saying that there are 1,300 members as can be seen here. [1] . Go to the talk page. I placed in specific references and where they can be found. I'm not making dominican's look bad, i'm showing membership of the DDP and the crimes they committed. In fact, I'll copy and paste to you what I wrote on the talk page here.


The Boston Incident http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/bostonherald/access/1224507661.html?dids=1224507661:1224507661&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Feb+28%2C+2007&author=MARIE+SZANISZLO&pub=Boston+Herald&edition=&startpage=8&desc=T+cameras+help+in+bust+of+Back+Bay+stab+suspect "While the victim has no ties to a gang, the suspects are in a gang called Dominicans Don't Play, or DDP, and it's believed that the victim had an earlier problem with a person in the gang or affiliated with it," [Joe Pesaturo] said. After numerous interviews, and with the help of T cameras, transit police Lt. Mark Gillespie and Detectives Daniel O'Toole and Brian Harer determined the identities of the suspects, Pesaturo said. The T has installed hundreds of cameras in the past two years."

[edit] Edit summaries

Please don't use misleading edit summaries. Referring to another user's good faith contributions in an edit war as "vandalism" is misleading, no matter how much you dislike their actions. The Evil Spartan 18:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

You're now proving my point. As you're clearly an edit warrior, and I can't tell when you were really reverting vandalism, and when you were just edit-warring, how am I supposed to know which parts to revert? Unfortunately, it looks like I have to revert them all. The Evil Spartan 19:05, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
