Cheerleading Edit[edit]

My edit of cheerleading cleared up the fact that while casual cheerleading is not a sport, competitive cheerleading is. I supported this with a couple of reputable references. Maybe a section could be added to the article clearing up this misconception. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.130.88 (talk) 02:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't take the 'vandalism' thing too personally. The whole cheerleading sport/non-sport debate has quickly become one of my pet peeves and unfortunately have had a short fuse. According to Wikipedia's definition of sport, there usually is competition, but it isn't necessary, so for consistency Cheerleading should be considered a sport here. I have thought about setting up a section that talks about the debate. Maybe you could develop it.Thinkbui (talk) 07:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with the 100 year thing includes:

It does not need to be in the intro. The intro needs to describe what the thing is. Think of it as a thesis in a paper. The "100 year institution" may imply grandeur or something, so it may also be considered POV.
Plus, use specific years or year ranges (i.e. 1880s, 1890s) instead of 100-year old, etc. The intro already says that it dates from the late 1890s... WhisperToMe (talk) 22:05, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. :) Thinkbui (talk) 00:59, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Legally, cheerleading is not a sport. It is therefore vandalism on your part to post false material regarding it being a sport. Please refrain form further editing the page and continuously undoing my edits. The fools that consider cheerleading a sport are one of my annoyances; they never give up their false ideals!155blue (talk) 19:19, 10 March 2013 (UTC)mhawk10[reply]

Yeah not going to happen. Cheerleading may not be a sport in the end, but removing references to the debate about it doesn't change the fact that the debate exists. Thus your edits are vandalism.Thinkbui (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

US Hockey[edit]

Please leave the corrected version Brooks died 6 months prior in a car wreck The plot summary is just fine —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.151.11.150 (talk) 02:04, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. I was reverting a bunch of vandalism that was done before you made your changes the first time. There was no way to only revert the vandalism without undoing your changes as well unless I went line by line or edit by edit. There's nothing wrong with your changes, but there's also nothing really wrong with the way it was since Brooks died in 2003 in August or so and the movie was released a few months into 2003. Yours is more specific.Thinkbui (talk) 05:57, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
