Please provide sources
[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Field hockey, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.-- The Red Pen of Doom 00:16, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I transferred material about the early rules of the game from 'field hockey stick' where it was surplus but has been present for over a year to the general 'field hockey' page. Your request for verification seems odd in the circumstances as I did not put the material, relating what happened in Eygypt 4000 years ago, into 'field hockey stick' but there is already reference to Eygypt in the article on field hockey.

Elian Gonzalez Affair
[edit]Sorry to hear you're struggling to improve that article. Once I began to perceive what a creep Wehwalt is, I jumped ship on that one. "Controlling", yes, that's a civil euphemism for the behavior I encountered there as well! I don't want to deal with it again, I get the sense he just likes to make a project of intransigence and prefers chatter and argument to editing. Where one can no longer edit Wikipedia constructively, there one should pass by! DBaba (talk) 17:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
