[edit] November 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Oklahoma Sooners appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. AUTiger » talk 06:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Dallas Cowboys, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Pats1 T/C 12:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did to New England Patriots, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Pats1 T/C 21:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: POV edits?

I'll address your concerns point-by-point:

  1. "Dallas is the most successful NFL team" is reasonable, yes, but far from "factual." It is a judgment call to make the jump from "winning the most Super Bowls" to "being the most successful NFL franchise." The former can be sourced, the latter can with multiple sources and with a "some say" disclaimer, but this was not done in your case. Winning the most Super Bowls as a qualifier for being the most successful franchise is purely your point of view; your commentary.
  2. Regarding your edits to New England Patriots, none of what you said adds up. You added the POV comment and then reverted it 4 minutes later. Nothing happened in those 4 minutes on your talk page or on Dallas Cowboys that would have prompted you to change your mind. You know, there have been multiple times where I've reverted POV on other NFL teams' articles, and then the editor who I reverted came to New England Patriots and tried to find POV edits to revert there. I'm not saying that's what you did here, but I think something of the like occurred. And the fact that you reverted your own edits doesn't absolve you from the fact that you made the edits in the first place. It will usually save you from a block, but doesn't mean the edits are gone and forgotten. Pats1 T/C 21:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
