Sylvester Croom
Hello, I noticed that although you have contributions from over a year ago, you had never been properly welcomed, so I corrected that. I also noticed that you haven't done a lot of editing in that time. Since you had never gotten a welcome message, you may not have become familiar with many of the policies and guidelines that go into editing here at Wikipedia. Our articles must all be written from a neutral point of view, avoiding puffery and making sure to attribute facts, statements and especially opinions to verifiable and reliable sources.

Unfortunately, you recent lengthy edits to Sylvester Croom substantially failed to adhere to many of those guidelines and thus have been reverted. Too many statements were value judgements promoting Croom without any source. Some of the information could be added provided a reliable source could be found to support the statements; i.e. an article quoting someone praising Croom on those points. For reference, take a look at either Al Borges or Will Muschamp, two coach's articles that are well-sourced and use verifiable facts and quotes to make the point about the subject's skill/success. Let me know if you have any questions about those articles or how to introduce the information into the article. Regards, AU Tiger » talk 06:28, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
