The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

  Hello, I'm Michig. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Split Waterman, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! --Michig (talk) 10:42, 14 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Split Waterman. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Michig (talk) 13:19, 14 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Utter nonsense. I merely recorded Split Waterman's death, which was 100% confirmed and 100% accurate. The Michig person deleting my posts was clearly clueless about Split Waterman, his death, and Speedway in general. Whereas I am a known speedway historian.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikidspeed (talkcontribs)

When you added it, it was 100% unconfirmed in reliable sources, hence your complete failure to cite a reliable source. You really should by now at least have a basic understanding of the need to source facts properly. You should also take a look at Wikipedia:No personal attacks and cut out the petty insults. --Michig (talk) 15:15, 24 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Again nonsense. The edits I made were 100% accurate. My sources were 100% reliable due to my position in the sport. Edits like these for other riders have been made many times by speedway historians in the past. Usually the source of the information is a telephone call from a family member of the rider. Do we need to record such personal calls and upload to Wikipedia, to satisfy one doubter? Never been a problem before.

  Hello, I'm Hillelfrei. I noticed that in this edit to Jason Garrity, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Hillelfrei talk 16:41, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
