The Storm did not earn a championship in 2011 as they were removed from the WSFL for unprofessional conduct by the ownership and can be verified by WSFL owner and management. The Missouri Phoenix was awarded the WSFL division championship which the team used storm players but the team played as the Phoenix.

Also on the Storm's website it states sevaral falsified statements regarding the 2011 division championship and statements made by the WSFL owner which he didnt make. The Storm need to correct their page and stop telling lies and shut the team down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.230.102.21 (talk) 09:40, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, 108.230.102.21. All information in Wikipedia must be verifiable. Verifiability on Wikipedia is a reader's ability to check cited sources that directly support the information in an article (see WP:VERIFY). Sources should also be reliable (see WP:RELIABLE).

Wikipedia editors often use material on organizations' own websites, but in this case, if I've understood you correctly, you may be questioning the accuracy of the information available on the Storm's website. If you can provide one (or more) reliable, verifiable sources that contradict the "official" information (for example, some news articles or press releases, perhaps?) then, by all means, let's take a look at it (them). -- Bgpaulus (talk) 17:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

The vandalism to the Kansas City Storm’s Wikipedia article is similar to other vandalism the Women’s Spring Football League’s associates have done to other teams that have left the league. It is sadly, juvenile. To specifically address 108.230.102.21 response:

1. The Kansas City Storm was not removed from the WSFL. The Storm signed a contract and played in the league in 2010 experiencing many frustrations. The league had plans to quadruple the league fee in 2011. Having consulted with the players in the fall of 2011, the Storm decided to not join the league for 2011. The Storm never asked to be in the league in 2011. The Storm never signed a contract for the 2011 season.

2. In 2011 one of the WSFL team’s had only two players and had a schedule to fulfill. The Storm stepped up and augmented the team with their players to enable the games to be played. Randall Fields, at time the commissioner of the WSFL, sent an email to the Kansas City Storm acknowledging the Storm’s appreciation and stating his appreciation. The email can be forwarded to anyone that wants to see proof.

The note suggests that references or sources from independent resources should be added to this article. There are many and can be added when it is off the “protected” status. Also, the note suggests that this article does not meet notability guidelines and may be consolidated. There are nearly 100 like teams with Wikipedia articles that contain team specific information that seem to warrant individual articles. Again, more information can be added to establish notability when the protected status is lifted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.1.16 (talk) 15:03, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 15 July 2012

Greetings I am a representative of the Women's Spring Football League and a Division Director. I am requesting an edit to the Kansas City Storm's claim of a 5-3 record and the 2011 Heartland Division Championship as falsified information and needs to be removed from their wiki site. The Kansas City Storm were removed from the WSFL in October 2010 for conduct and actions by the Kansas City Storm management.

The Kansas Phoenix were accepted in the WSFL and are the Heartland Division Champion on record in the WSFL for the 2011 season. The Kansas City Storm played one game in 2011 a loss to the Topeka Mudcats.

The correct information for the 2011 Kansas City Storm is they played as an independent team with a 0-1 record.

Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Andie ▶(Candy)◀ 16:51, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

In 2011 one of the WSFL team’s (The Phoenix) had only two players and had a schedule to fulfill. The Storm stepped up and augmented the team with their players to enable the games to be played. Randall Fields, at time the commissioner of the WSFL, sent an email to the Kansas City Storm acknowledging the Storm’s appreciation and stating his appreciation. The email can be forwarded to anyone that wants to see proof. The article correctly states that the Storm, in conjunction with the Phoenix, had the win/loss record indicated. Note also that in addition to suppling the players for the season, the home games were played on the Storm's home field and the Storm contributed financially to the completion of the season. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.1.16 (talk) 15:07, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

You can do it yourself now; the protection has expired. Floating Boat (the user formerly known as AndieM) 06:11, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
