[edit] Rowan Robertson
Unfortunately I had to remove about half of the information you had inserted into this article. It is a copyright violation to take the text verbatim from another source. In this case, the text was from the website http://www.thehighwaystar.com/rosas/misc/dio.htm.
You may have also noticed that the article was displaying funny. That is easy to fix! Simply ensure that new paragraphs start without any spaces at the beginning of the line. The reason your article displayed so weird was because there were spaces at the beginning of each paragraph. Tobycat 18:14, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gilmour birthdate
Do you have a source on the change you keep making to David Gilmour's birthdate, or is it just some sort of prank? If the latter, please be aware that this is considered vandalism and can get you blocked or worse. At any rate, no source I am aware of puts it as early as 1939 and such an early date seems to fit poorly with everything I do know about the Floyd's early history.

- Gilmour's official web site says he was born in '46. Please cite your source if you have different info but I doubt it will be as credible as the official site. Dismas|(talk) 06:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sources for James Lomenzo
Hello, good work on James Lomenzo, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to James Lomenzo? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or there are several different citation methods list at WP:CITET. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 19:53, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 5% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 2 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 06:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hakeem Olajuwon
You need a source of the statement you inserted into the article. here at Wikipedia regardless of whether something is true or not it needs sources. Quadzilla99 21:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Tracy McGrady. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Mosmof 07:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Michael Jordan
We decided to limit the number of players dubbed the next Jordan to five to keep the flow good and to not include every single player that's ever been compared to him. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of inforamtion. Also the three-point percetage he had in the abbreviated 1994-95 season is pretty much trivia. Quadzilla99 22:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Basically there are probably 15-20 people who have been dubbed the "Next Jordan" so that would be one long sentence if we listed them all and I wouldn't to take two to three sentences listing them all. Quadzilla99 22:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
