[edit] Unencylopedic material

Will you read the Wikipedia guidelines and stop adding this kind of crap.

Ball presented the famous green Irish Olympian blazer he donned for the games to his former school as a gift. The blazer now rests inside an unlocked glass cabinet in the College. As a result, it is a common trait for poorly-behaved passing pupils to test their nerve and remove the blazer from the cabinet to try it on without being spotted by the school authorities or on the near-by CCTV camera.

I assume your source is here? If so, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Bulletin boards and posts to Usenet: "Posts to bulletin boards and Usenet, or messages left on blogs, are never acceptable as primary or secondary sources". If there is no confirmation in any of the types of source Wikipedia views as reliable, it shouldn't be included.

You've had it explained enough times. There comes a point where one must assume you're posting unencylopedic material deliberately rather than out of innocence as a newcomer. Tearlach 13:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
