John Amaechi
Hi. I saw your recent contributions to the article on John Amaechi. Additions to Wikipedia have to come from reliable sources. I'm not questioning the truthfulness of what you wrote, but can you provide a link to a newspaper or magazine article about Amaechi turning down a $17 Million offer from the Lakers? Also, on Wikipedia we try to avoid "weasel words". One of your contributions says that, before he announed he was gay, Amaechi was "best known" for turning down the offer from the Lakers. Phrases like "best known" are considered "weasel words" — "Best known" by whom? Again, it would be great if you could find a newspaper or magazine article that says that Amaechi was "best known" for turning down the offer, or "infamous", or "notorious". We could use those words, in quotes, in the article, together with a footnote, which indicates that it's not Wikipedia's opinion that Amaechi is "best known" for that, but somebody else's. You can look for a source document at your favorite sports website. Some people like to use NBA.com, ESPN.com, or SI.com (Sports Illustrated). You can leave a message here, or on Talk:John Amaechi or on my Talk page. Thanks! — Malik Shabazz | Talk 23:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
