Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wigan Warriors.

Wigan Warriors[edit]

Firstly, let me say thanks for all the edits you've put into articles about the Wigan Warriors. However why did you remove the {{Who}} tag in the article about the salary cap? Statements which include words like "many" imply that there is a general consensus amongst a certain group of people that the statement is true, and if this is the case, then a source or two should be referenced. Otherwise, it contradicts Wikipedia's policies on Original research and Neutral points of view. I think you I would both agree on the salary cap being Wigan fans, but please add such sources, or else I'll have to delete the statement altogether. Cheers, GW (talk) 00:34, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Wigan Warriors, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. You might also want to read WP:FANCRUFT.

One more thing: your conduct is being discussed here. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 21:32, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Invite to join WP:RL[edit]

Your conduct has been raised on the COI noticeboard and it's not the first time you've been reminded about neutral posting either. I feel it's in your own best interests to familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's core policies before editing anything about the Wigan Warriors again. I've suggested on the COI noticeboard that you should join the rugby league WikiProject, where other users can assist your editing style. It's your choice. Otherwise, you can at least provide accurate sources to the claims you make (quoting specific articles, not the home pages of websites) - Verifiability, not truth, is the threshold of inclusion on Wikipedia.

Wigan RLFC lead[edit]

WWF, are you even reading the edit summaries? You just seem to be reinserting the clunky, overlong version of the lead that veers off into a fan tone at times.

Have you looked at what I wrote on the talk page about it? Haldraper (talk) 08:18, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can I echo the previous comment? Please read the edit summaries and the discussion on the talk page. Please do not re-insert links to schism, and read the WP:MOS re when to use bold or italic (and we never use <i></i>). Mr Stephen (talk) 21:28, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WWF, you are repeating your habit of RVing edits without explanation or discussion. Please stop. Haldraper (talk) 08:14, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
