If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Also, I notice that you made reference that you felt that a sentence left by a previous contributor was an opinion, not a fact. This is a fine thing to do, in fact, it is encouraged. However, the correct place to leave such comments would be in the talk page of the article. Alternatively, you can apply the {{fact}} tag which lets other users know that the fact is disputed. Additionally, I do welcome you to Wikipedia and if you happen to have any other questions, please feel free to leave them on my talk page. Lazulilasher (talk) 03:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment on my talk page. I tend to agree with you--it does seem to be a Point of View issue. You are also right in saying that "all encyclopedias are suppossed to be free of bias". However, what we can't do is put a comment in the article. Although, what we are able to do is place a tag on the suspicious sentence requesting that someone put a citation from a reputable source on the statement. I just did this for you, see Al Horford. Also, feel free to discuss these issues on Al Horford's Talk page. Further, feel free to contribute more to Wikipedia, as we can always use someone willing to assist in verifying and citing article.
