Welcome![edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, Twinkelynn!

I hope you like it here and stick around. If you like, you can leave a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself.

Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives lots of basic information to help you to get oriented on Wikipedia.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using four tildes (" ~~~~ ") for your username and a timestamp. If you have any other questions about the project, then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Help desk. Alternately, you may choose to send a message to my talk page.

Happy editing! Yuser31415 reply!|contribs 21:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. A random list of links at the end of the article doesn't satisfy WP:BLP, and the content in question (which I removed again) also fails WP:NPOV. I would encourage you to review our policies on reliable sources and on how to cite sources properly, and then try to add the content again, bearing in mind our policy on a neutral point of view..

Sorry, this isn't really negotiable. I have no problem with the incident being mentioned, but if it's not properly cited and written in a neutral tone, it's not staying in the article. Thanks. Mr. Darcy talk 00:57, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you insert that content again, you'll be blocked. Mr. Darcy talk 02:21, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
One solid example of why that content can not stay. Your edit said: The story was unsubstantiated, with no presentation made of either tangible proof or any named sources. Yet the reference you provided to back that up is an article by Glazer himself that says: Several sources have told FOX Sports that Favre earlier this year phoned the Detroit Lions prior to their battle versus Favre's old team, the Green Bay Packers, and gave them a rundown of the nuances of what Green Bay does on offense. According to the sources, Favre actually spent over an hour on the phone with Lions coaches, who were connected with Favre by then-team president Matt Millen. That story is not "unsubstantiated" and the use of anonymous sources is completely normal and accepted in journalism. Calling the story unsubstantiated is a violation of WP:BLP, and implying that it was incorrect because of the lack of "named sources" is an arbitrary standard that violates WP:NPOV. In addition, in the third source you provide, Favre admits that he did have a conversation with the Detroit executive, and that "Favre said former players and coaches exchange information all the time." That doesn't disprove anything Glazer said, and in some ways seems to support it. As I said above, if you reinsert that content, I will have to block you from editing. Let's not get to that point; find new reliable sources and quote them properly, or leave the article alone. Mr. Darcy talk 03:03, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are not an administrator here. You are mistaken. I am an administrator here, and I have blocked you 24 hours for ignoring WP:BLP and WP:NPOV and for reinserting content you were told not to reinsert. When your block expires, you are welcome to resume editing on Wikipedia BUT must still heed our policies, including the two you have violated in the past. Mr. Darcy talk 21:10, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 24 hours as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated.
