(Copied from User talk:Peruvianllama): I don't understand why you reverted my changes? *Confused*
The reason I reverted your edits was, quite plainly, because you were removing large sections of text and replacing it with things like "Na na na na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey GOOODBYE!" and "Go Leafs Go". Please have a look at Wikipedia's stance on vandalism and how to edit a page to get a better grasp of what a Wikipedia article should contain. If you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch with me on my talk page. Thanks! --PeruvianLlama(spit) 09:28, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
(Copied from User talk:Peruvianllama): Yes, but can I add this section to the TML webpage?

One of Wikipedia's policies is to be bold in making changes to articles - however the hope is that you have at least a basic grasp of some of Wikipedia editing policies. Another important link for you to look over would be Wikipedia's policy on maintaining a Neutral Point of View - so statements like "The Toronto Maple Leafs are often considered "God's team"" don't really qualify under this policy. There is also the matter of trying to keep an encyclopaedic tone throughout the article, so "Toronto is all about... Beer, Hockey, Donuts and the Toronto Maple Leafs!" is also a bit iffy. First and foremost, Wikipedia attempts to be a reliable and impartial source of information; so in general, although you are a fan of a team/player/writer/movie/etc., you should still try to write article content from an impartial and neutral point of view.
Read over those links I mentioned above, and then re-read the paragraph you sent me; then if there are still portions that you think would add to the Toronto Maple Leafs article, then go ahead and add them, or mention them on the article's talk page to first get feedback from other interested editors. If you do go ahead and add them, the worst that can happen is that someone else will remove the edits if they feel they do not meet Wikipedia's requirements - and if this happens, above all else, don't take it personally. If I can be of any other assistance, feel free to contact me on my talk page as much as is helpful. And one last thought - have you considered creating an account? Cheers! --PeruvianLlama(spit) 09:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I think you should get feedback from other editors on the Leafs' talk page before adding anything. Your contributions are being repeatedly reverted right now mostly because of POV problems; getting feedback will prevent grief on both sides (the other editors' and yours). --Buchanan-Hermit 18:24, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Toronto Maple Leafs

Its non-encyclopaedic, its totally biased, it clashes with the rest of the article, its redundant to the rest of the article. And I suspect plagarism. If you feel the article lacks something: work it into the current flow of the text. Don't rewrite your fabled history and slap it on the end. Really, this is getting tiresome. ccwaters 03:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
