Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Demba Ba. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write practically anything you want.

 * I don't see what the issue is here. The source I provided clearly supports my edit, so clearly there is no problem with "accurate information," as you put it. Did you even bother to check out the source or is it your job to make wikipedia a less open and friendly place? There is no reason for you to be hostile and I take offense to you labeling my information as a "joke." I would appreciate it if you would return my edited material to the page. --Dcush22 (talk) 07:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Not trying to be hostile. His strawberry syrup "addiction" is just a human interest trivia and probably is too much of a fancruft to be in the article, and definitely not the level of career-defining importance to be in the intro paragraph. And as lighthearted as it may be, the phrase "may or may not be" should never be used in an encyclopedia that strives for verifiability. And keep in mind that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and something merely being true doesn't mean it belong in the article. Mosmof (talk) 15:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
