Vandalism
editStop it. If you want to add something to Barry's page, it must be sourced, must be neutrally worded and free from bias. All vandalism will be removed. RefereeOrganist (talk) 07:38, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- What vandalism are you talking about? — KV5 • Talk • 22:04, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
I cleaned it up. Previous vandalism, recently more of NPOV and unsourced editorial statements. Anticipate very few issues during the baseball offseason. RefereeOrganist (talk) 22:09, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- None of what you removed was "vandalism" and you removed cited content without any explanation. You should read up on what vandalism actually means. — KV5 • Talk • 22:19, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Was the content against policy? Yes. End of discussion. RefereeOrganist (talk) 22:21, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- Um, no. You have not cited any policy of which this content was in contravention. Please elaborate in detail, using examples, instead of being dismissive and rude. — KV5 • Talk • 22:24, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
As I stated, previous vandalism (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scott_Barry&oldid=380958011), recently NPOV and unsourced material. RefereeOrganist (talk) 22:57, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- OK, now I see the vandalism. I fail, in all of your changes, to see NPOV violations or removal of unsourced material. As I said above, you removed sourced material, which I restored. — KV5 • Talk • 11:29, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
No problem. I reworded the Mike Winters replacement sentences. The previous phrasing implied cause-effect, I changed it to read more matter-of-fact. Let me know if you disagree RefereeOrganist (talk) 06:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
