Re: Can you explain why

It's simple - your changes to Eli Cross made the article very unencyclopedic, and they were borderline nonsense. That's considered vandalism. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 01:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, it looks like a COI here - you are obviously editing an article about yourself. You can add back in the awards and perhaps trim the history, but the first paragraph at least has got to go. Just make sure everything is sourced and read WP:AGF before adding that back in. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 01:46, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, and you can learn how to source things here. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 01:47, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
