Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to David Ortiz. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- No Guru 16:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Please do not remove content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- No Guru 15:25, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Kruse, please don't just re-add information that has been deleted due to not being notable. If you want to make a case for its notability, please do so on the talk page. Also, don't mark edits such as this as "minor". Stoneice02 02:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Red Sox apologist, please don't just delete information because you do not want others to know the truth and then use its notability as your reason. Kruse56
- I am not deleting information because I don't want others to know the truth. First of all, you are editing the biography of a living person and you do not cite references for negative facts. That is strictly forbidden and Wikipedia demands it to be deleted immediately. Second of all, why do you only include negative information about his character and nothing positive? Clearly a violation of NPOV. You make it sound like he was throwing the bats at the umpire when that was never cleary the truth. Finally, it is not notable either way. Players do get suspended for similar acts all the time. Players do talk about themselves to the press everyday. It is not notable.
- On another note, stop attacking me on my talk page. This issue has nothing to do with being part of RSN and calling other members of RSN "scumbags" (later changed to simply not being a class act) and somehow knowing I am not a "true fan." All this, and the Yankees as you bring up, are irrelevant. You will be reported next time. Stoneice02 19:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
ONE THING IS CLEAR...you are not a true Wikipedian because you exclude any piece of information not suitable to you. Kruse56 20:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Two things... first, please read this article about personal attacks, WP:ATTACK. Second, please read the voting section of the David Ortiz talk page. As you can see, there is a discussion regarding what we have been discussing through our personal talk pages. Please feel free to comment there. As per the instructions, please do not re-add in the two items until a consensus is reached. Stoneice02 21:02, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think we should leave this discussion on the Ortiz talk page so that we can get more feedback from other people. But as for the citation for the two walk-off homeruns, I'm not sure if it really needs a citation, but it can easily be gotten if needed. I didn't write that and only glanced over it so I didn't notice the lack of citation.

Respect
[edit]Kruse, I have tried being civil with you. Yes, we have differing opinions on the topic at hand, but I have not attacked you personally in any way. However, now that I see that you are accusing me of stacking the vote on this topic, I have had enough. I don't have "friends" on Wikipedia. I put up the vote and left. When I came back, people were voting. Just because people are voting against you doesn't mean I am stacking the vote. I have no choice but to report you. Stoneice02 05:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Mediation
[edit]Hi, I have agreed to take your case. I think the following might be a useful course of action, if you agree.
First, can you take a few minutes to specifically spell out what is your desired outcome...what specific section you want deleted and why...or what specific words you want added and why.
Second, then lets take a few days to let this cool down.
Third, I can then put up your suggestions and see what compromise we can reach...if necessary we, can do a poll or proceed with other dispute resolution steps...but let's take it slow and easy. OK?
Please respond to my My Personal Advocacy Requests Subpage. DPetersontalk 20:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay in getting back to you...Can you write below the specific langugage (with a verifiable source (newspaper article, for example) to support your statements? If so, I'd like to read it, comment to be sure we can say it is a factual statement and NPOV. Then I'd suggest posting it on the talk page for comment...if there is not objection, post it. If there is objection and it is not reasonable, then we can take next steps. OK?DPetersontalk 14:13, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Heads up on overlinking
[edit]Thank you for updating the 2010 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament article. Make sure, as you copy stuff forward, that you don't overlink the bracket. Looking at prior brackets as an guideline, only the team's first entry in the bracket is linked; they aren't relinked when they win. However, per last year's template, a team's ranking is repeated, e.g., "Duke (#4)". This should keep all the tournament articles looking consistent. —C.Fred (talk) 19:18, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:
