Hello, I'm Tarl N.. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on J. C. Jackson, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''There is a cited source for his height. Please read WP:V, it is not sufficient for a statement to be accurate, it must be verifiable. And with a source usually considered reliable, you have to provide strong justification for overriding it.'' Tarl N. ( discuss ) 02:15, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at J. C. Jackson shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Why are you editing to the wrong height
He was measured at the NFL combine at 5 foot 9 3/4 inches. Why are you editing his height to 6 foot 1 this is confirmed as incorrect Itsyoungsid (talk) 02:18, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Read the edit comment, read my reversion comment above. A wikipedia edit must not only be accurate, it must be verifiable (WP:V). I can't take your word for it, we have a source which contradicts you. So you need to give us a reason to accept a different source in preference over the one used for all other NFL bios. Tarl N.

It says under professional career his correct height
It is verifiable that what I am posting is correct. It literally says under professional career what his verified height is the last time he was measured at the NFL combine. It is 5 foot 9 and 3/4. 6 foot 1 is not even close to being correct so why would this be out there as his height? Itsyoungsid (talk) 02:27, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That gives us two sources, with different results. It is likely one is wrong (at pro football levels, most players have finished growing). How do you know which source is wrong? The nfl.com source is more recent, which in general would make it preferred. Unless you have a specific reason to explicitly deprecate the nfl.com source, we use that, as in all other NFL bios.
