Collins
I've removed the controversy section from User:Dkerr23/Jimmy Collins, as it clearly violates WP:BLP, making a number of allegations against Bruce Pearl that must be extensively referenced and devoid of personal opinion to exist anywhere in Wikipedia, including userspace drafts. While the subject may be appropriate for inclusion, it must be significantly rewritten and appropriately sourced before it can be reintroduced. Please review the BLP policies, and please use appropriate sourcing when dealing with allegations of misconduct against individuals. The section Pearl/Thomas incident, in Bruce Pearl, while not exactly a model for such a subject, is at least tolerably sourced and avoids personal opinions and analysis.

Also, it appears that you may have left your computer unattended, since some vandalism appears to have originated from this account that is at odds with your previous contributions. Please make sure to log out when you're not actively editing.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:40, 8 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I've also deleted User:Dkerr23/Notes, as it's a copyright violation to host text from other websites here: http://www.uicflames.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/collins_jimmy00.html is clearly noted as copyrighted, and may not be reproduced, even in userspace. Please save a local copy to your computer if you need to work with it, and please make sure to appropriately attribute sources.   Acroterion   (talk)   16:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Don't let this discourage you: the article you're writing is worthwhile, it just needs a little work to get through the rough spots, and I'd be glad to help where I can.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:55, 8 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I see you've restored the content, minus the most egregious BLP violations: those two paragraphs remain inappropriate in tone and poorly sourced, and would be removed if they made it to article space. Please excise the editorializing, improve the references and just stick to the facts. With the amount of space you've devoted to it the topic veers toward undue weight, more about denigrating Pearl than about Collins.   Acroterion   (talk)   04:43, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
