Regarding your recent edit to Mike Long, such statements of opinion are not permitted per WP:A and WP:NPOV. However, if you can find a statement to the same effect from a notable Magic writer, it would be perfectly acceptable to include it with attribution to that person.

As I said on the article talk page, if a person is notable, then in a general sense, the stuff that person does is appropriate to include in a biography. When Long is mentioned on, say, MTG.com, the authors will often mention that he's spending his time selling his DVD package. If his WP article does not mention it because we feel it would give him undeserved publicity, then we're editing in support of a point of view, which violates WP:NPOV. Also, by the way, I'd like to encourage you to sign up for a username and to sign your posts using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ Croctotheface 13:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, I noticed that you added a few more instances of suspicious Long play back in the day. If you can cite sources for them, we could put those back in the article. The Lightning Bolt/Mark Chalice example, for instance, would be cheating under today's standards at least, though we unfortunately can't say that unless there's a source that says it for us.

Generally, message board posts are not considered reliable sources. If I get a chance, though, I'll look for one. There must be something out there on SCG or the old Dojo site. Also, let's move this discussion to the Mike Long talk page so that others might be inspired to join us in improving the article. :) Croctotheface 22:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
