Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Phil Collins, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. - Mlpearc (open channel) 22:05, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Custard tart, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. - Mlpearc (open channel) 22:06, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Patrick Stewart. - Mlpearc (open channel) 22:08, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Why do you think an article like EuroLeague needs more citations?

There are numerous citations at the EuroLeague article and yet you marked that it needs more. I don't think that is what the needs more citations is for.Bluesangrel (talk) 17:58, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

The same with the FIBA Basketball World Cup article. It has lots of citations, so why was it marked as needing more?Bluesangrel (talk) 18:00, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

To say all material and everything added must be referenced means all of Wikipedia should have tags added to it. When an article has dozens of references it is not need to add notes for references to every section of an article. The NBA article would be covered with them the same way if this was necessary.Bluesangrel (talk) 18:20, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Well, I think we can take the discussion to basketball wiki project talk, because it's not correct to say nothing is sourced or backed up, and could all be wrong, and no one reading the article knows that. That is your personal opinion, but isn't supported by the fact the article has dozens of references.Bluesangrel (talk) 18:27, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

removing content for tenuous reasons

Don't edit war to remove content for different reasons each time. If you disagree with the wording, fine. If you think a source is not reliable, replace it with a {{citation needed}} but there's no reason to remove the content entirely. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:12, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
