POV Edits

[edit]

@AndersLindergaard: please address why you would like to make the changes you have made here. I have concerns that you are making WP:POV edits by removing sourced content that is relevant to his decision to move the team. You removed text about his requirement of a new downtown stadium, text about how the move has been planned for months, text about the reception to his apology, text about the controversial chants of Columbus chants, and text about his failed proposals until now to find an adequate site for a new stadium. Can you please explain why you are removing this text? Jay eyem (talk) 16:46, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


I realize that the subject is controversial, but the current versions are far from unbiased. The verbiage creates attempts to paint the subject in a negative light, by highlighting out of date information rather than what is current. Using phrases such as "(which was interpreted as half-hearted)" is an opinion and not a stated fact. My edits are facts, include a high level of grammar, and do not include words of opinion. "During the offseason, Precourt unsuccessfully pursued several stadium sites in the Austin area, including a controversial proposal to build in part of Guerrero Park." is not relevant to the present pursuit and the wording has a negative tone.

I will acknowledge the "half-hearted" comment not being in the source and I will change that momentarily. The rest however is factual information, backed by sources, and that is written in a neutral manner and should remain. Removing the information because you perceive it to be out of date is POV-pushing. Jay eyem (talk) 18:05, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
