Lance K Edit
(say hey or see my edits!) User:Willsome429 you reversed an edit that I made. I read the five pillars of Wikipedia, NPOV, Biographies of living persons and other examples before making that edit. Please note that I did so because the entry is not neutral, the referenced ESPN article is not neutral as well and irresponsibly incorrect just like the Wikipedia posting. Please note that this particular paragraph specifically goes against the "Explanation of the neutral point of view" as stated. Here are the facts. Lance was and has never been charged with "possession of (THC) originating from a traffic stop in early September". There is a traffic misdemeanor that he is fighting and directly related to this but NOT a possession of THC as stated. TMZ was first to incorrectly report on this 4 months after the stop actually occurred and other news outlets including ESPN picked up on it thinking it was going to get them more views and clicks and yes it did as these kind of news tend to. Now whomever posted this on Wikipedia is far less informed on the details of this traffic stop just like TMZ and ESPN and therefore referencing these sources is not only incorrect but reckless in perpetuating false statements. I believe these are sufficient grounds to dismiss/erase this alleged charges that do not exist. Is it not? Records of arrests and charges are available to the public and a much better reference versus using news and media sites that are known to focus on speed versus proper journalism. Additionally to get an inkling on the lack of accuracy of this Wikipedia posting, you can reference this article from the same TMZ where they updated after additional research. He was not even cited at the scene so how can there be TCH charges and busted for weed etc. It is so inaccurate and libelous and every agency media outlet picks it for clicks. "Wisconsin State Patrol tells us Kendricks was not actually cited for marijuana during the stop. WSP says marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia charges have been "referred to the Outagamie County DA’s Office" who will decide whether to charge Kendricks. Cops tell us they confiscated weed from LK's vehicle, however, he left the scene without a citation."

This is the problem with the web and even if Wikipedia has processes and editors etc, it does not have the capability to catch this and there are many many brands that suffer because of these type content driven by money and desire for clicks Codepantry (talk) 04:43, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
