Continual reverts of my edits
Hi Balmey, I've noticed you reverted several of my edits and even claimed I'm intentionally vandalising pages. Can we swap contact details as there seems to be a misunderstanding between us? I want to make wikipedia pages as accurate as possible so that people with little to no knowledge of subjects can learn. Feel free to respond on my talk page (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:21, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Striker161, thanks for getting in contact with me. Sorry about the reply, I'm a bit busy at the moment. Look the reason I reverted and stated that, was because you were reverting things that were incredibly well documented, and very important to why the AFL was formed, and the nature of states history in interstate competition. But maybe you were acting in good faith, and just wasn't aware. In regards to Victoria having an intense rivalry with Western Australia, I've since found several more references, from very well sources, one which I've added. One is from the AFL record, 1998 State of Origin edition, South Australia vs Western Australian game, page 10, where Paul Roos talks about playing interstate football in 1985, and is quoted saying We held the hope of the Victorian people, that we'd show the football world which was the best state. He also says in that article  As growing up as a kid, if you watched only one game for the year, it had to be the intestate game. You can read the AFL record on the Victorian State Library website. As for me reverting you re-writing on adding the distinction between the Victorian Football League and Victorian Football League clubs, on the South Australia football team page, the only reason I did that was because it wasn't succinct with the rest of the information in there. But if you can find a way to re-word that with the information in there, sure go ahead. So I hope that clears that up. If you have anymore things you want to add to the article feel free to contact me, and I'd be happy to collaborate with you. Sincerely Balmey (talk) 06:42, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
