Vandalism is unacceptable
I'm writing this message today in light of your recent changes to the Ozzie Smith article, where you claimed Smith passed away in a car wreck on August 25, 2009. As this information is blatantly false, with no news organizations of any kind reporting such a story, let me assure you that this kind of behavior on Wikipedia is unacceptable. In fact, in most real-world scenarios, knowingly publishing false information about a living person could possibly be considered libel. If you begin to make positive contributions to the Wiki community via edits that use referenced information, your work will be welcome. But again, these kinds of edits are simply unacceptable.

Request for issuance of apology to Ozzie Smith for article vandalism
After giving your blatant and libelous vandalism more consideration, I have decided to request that you issue a formal apology directed to Ozzie Smith somewhere on Wikipedia, such as your user page or any other appropriate discussion page. Consider this; if you were a relative of Mr. Smith, and you wandered onto his wiki page, only to see that he had passed away unbeknowst to you, how would you feel? Wouldn't that bother you? While I'm fully aware you may have created this user name and profile just to precipitate this vandalism, and that you'll probably never read this posting, led alone actually heed my request, I still want to make it crystal clear that saying someone had died when you know they have not is so unethical and so wrong that the United States has laws dealing with libel that address things like this. If by chance you really are interested in joining the Wikipedia community, I think apologizing to Mr. Smith is a great start toward making a positive contribution to Wikipedia.
