Why doesn't the map show Maine? 98.111.148.89 (talk) 23:09, 11 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Lack of sources on this page edit

The refimprove tag has been on this article for an embarrassingly long 6+ years now. Recently, I cleared the uncited content from this article for the reason that it is unverifiable. It's not my job to find sources for whatever other people post, it is the poster's job to cite or accept that their content can be removed at any time unless they add reliable sources to support their additions.

Addendum: without two third party sources this page will eventually become a candidate for deletion. Markvs88 (talk) 12:37, 10 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

A source is a source. The map came from the conference website, but you wouldn’t know because you’re too damn lazy to look. I’ll work on outside sources, but maybe you should help too. You should be here to improve Wikipedia, not destroy it. Corky 15:36, 10 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
No, a source needs to be reputable, and the one you're referring to is an unattributable map on a webpage. If anything, it is woefully insufficient to establish notability. As for being lazy, again, that's not my job as I'm not the fanboy adding unattributable cruft. Yes, please do. You seem a bit confused... deleting unsourced content does not destroy anything. It is following best practices. Suppose I added uncited text to the article that stated "this league is known to be the weakest in its geographical region". Would you want that to stand for six years? I don't think so. Markvs88 (talk) 17:09, 10 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Seems like common sense is being lost in the name of "best practices". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Splinter 9 (talkcontribs) 06:58, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
