[edit] accuracy

Hi, and thanks for your contributions. When you insert unsourced info please make sure that it doesn't look like it's sourced. For example, here the info should be placed after the citation not before the citation. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:37, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frequent additions of unsourced claims

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. All of your contributions today have lacked references. Please do not add material to articles without appropriate sources. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for more information.

The page I linked to (Citing Sources) should explain everything, but here is a quick overview. Any time you add information that is not common knowledge, it needs a reference. The reference always comes after a punctuation mark (usually a comma or period). The reference is formatted with a template that includes the important information about the source (title, publisher, url and accessdate being the most important, although any other information helps as well). Taking your most recent contribution, it would be formatted as follows:
Because the injury was misdiagnosed during the season, Hardwick continued to play and damaged the foot further. The full recovery estimated time is expected to take four to six months.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hardwick has foot surgery, could miss opener|publisher=Sign On San Diego|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/chargers/20080321-9999-1s21chargers.html|accessdate=2008-03-21}}</ref>
"cite web" is used because this is from an internet source, title is the title at the top of the page, publisher is the name of the company that published the information, url is the web address, and accessdate is when you read the information. Other information that could (and should, since it's easy to find) be added to the template is "last=Acee|first=Kevin|date=2008-03-21". In this case, last is the last name of the author, first is the first name of the author, and date is the date on which it was published. It does not matter what order this information is listed in within the template, as the template converts it to a standard reference format. The biggest thing to remember is to separate each piece with a "|".
I hope this helps. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, and feel free to get in touch if you have any more questions. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:18, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
I noticed that you are still adding unsourced information to articles. Any information needs a reference, so many of your edits will be reverted. Please follow the instructions I gave you (or ask for more help) if you are going to continue adding information. Thank you, GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NFLPA

can you please not add that the players in the NFLPA board members, especially in the intros--Yankees10 16:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] NFL edits

If a player gets released today it would be 2007 not 2008, for example you put that Jerry Bab played for the Packers from 2007-2008, when it should be just 2007 because he didnt play for the team in 2008, can you please fix them, also can you capatalize the F and A in free agent, thank you--Yankees10 02:11, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

thanks for fixing those--Yankees10 00:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

In the actual intro though free agent should be lowercased, just in the infobox should it be capatalized--Yankees10 01:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marvin Harrison

Hi! I'm curious why you've re-added non-sourced information that could be considered contentious to a biography of a living person. WP:BLP seems to frown upon this. Also, a sourced summary of this information is already in the article. Thanks! Rnb (talk) 22:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

You've been making handfuls of edits that are either irrelevant (lots of the Rotoworld stuff) and false (changing years). Don't change it to 2007 when a guy has only been on the team this year. The year is currently 2008.►Chris NelsonHolla! 21:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Robbie Gould

Hi, I see you changed the contract and year information pertaining the Gould's new deal. The Daily Herald reports that Gould is getting 4.2 Mil over 5 years, allegedly making him the highest paid kicker in the league. Do you have source to back up your edit? Thanks. If so, I'll RV my edit. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  20:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tab Perry

Tab Perry was not outright released by the Dolphins, because you cannot just release a player after injury. Perry was waived/injured, meaning if he clears waivers he will be placed on the Dolphins' Injured Reserve list. He is unlikely to be claimed because so one claims a guy that's out for the season. The only way he won't be a member of the Dolphins is if he gets an injury settlement, but as of now that hasn't happened and he's destined for IR.►Chris NelsonHolla! 23:04, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stacy Andrews

He put "free agent" because all he does is change infoboxes to wrong teams and info. He's a vandal.►Chris NelsonHolla! 01:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
