Jon Tuck's active MMA career and his constantly changing win/loss record isn't worth tracking on the article about Guam..
So are we going to change this site every time Jon Tuck goes to work? Currently this site is "boasting" about his record which is now inaccurate and outdated. It might be more of a hassle than it's worth to track his win/loss record on the Guam page while he's still an active competitor. You might as well say that Guam's president is George Bush and that Trump is dating Marla Maples. My point is, just say Tuck is an active member of the UFC roster and don't include his constantly changing MMA record until his career reaches it's conclusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.71.183.28 (talk) 14:04, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
Pacification
I find the terms "pacification" or "pacified" to be inappropriate. And sad. It really means "killed". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.130.84.99 (talk) 16:08, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
- Very true. I've changed it to a more accurate term- conquest. Earthscent (talk) 16:44, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
Rugby Union
"Guam's biggest win was a 74–0 thrashing of Brunei in June 2008." - Although a trivial sentence in a very trivial section, is the word "thrashing" in context and relevant in an encyclopaedia article (a rather sad and childish "sporting" POV).
