Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Michael Jordan lead[edit]

I get your point, but the statement is just the opinion of the site NBA.com, is not a universal fact. I too think that Jordan was the best player in history, but many people don't feel that way. There are other great players in NBA history that could be considered the best (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson), and Jordan himself said that there isn't such thing as "the best of all-time", because everyone evolved from the other. I'm gonna leave it as that because it has been there for months, but I think that a person who is not familar with MJ forms a strong opinion about him even from the opening phrases, where his accomplishments (the numerous awards he won, how many points he scored in his career and how many championships he won) are already listed. But that's just my opinion. Best of luck. Paulinho28 (talk) 19:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Martyrs[edit]

We aren't going to take an article about an event involving almost 700 people, and then speculate on the intentions of them all based on 2 of them. "Yet" implies that their statement contradicts the prior statement that the the fleet would be nonviolent, which it does not. Prodego ^talk 23:26, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
