Repeated reverts and deletions in Korbin Sims article
Regarding your repeated reverts of the references to the genital grabbing incident on the page of Korbin Sims. Wikipedia seeks to remain netural, and editors with a passion for a particular topic can, at times allow that passion to cloud their neutral tone and good intentions when editing an article.

It is clear that you are passionate about the Newcastle Knights, the team that Korbin Sims represents. It may be wise to refrain from removing clearly sourced and NPOV materials.

The sports writer you refer to as "some random journalist" has close to 3,000 published articles for Fairfax Media, one of Australia's largest media companies (according to Wikipedia). He is one of the leading Rugby League writers in Australia.

When I added my content back in following your second removal, the first from 58.96.124.10 citing "tabloid nonsense", I kept much of your following additions and merely corrected grammatical errors and improved the flow of the article such as rewording "grabbing the genitals of former teammate Willie Mason while coming up against the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles", and removing unnecessary POV stuff that added nothing to the article like "When questioned about the incident, Mason said, "Offended? Please. I think it's hilarious, I hope it doesn't come to anything because me and Korbin are really good mates." rewording it so that it made sense in the context of the article and didn't just leap to being a piece about what "The Brains Trust" Roy_and_HG's_State_of_Origin_commentary thought about the matter.

Please refrain from engaging in an edit war, particularly given your passionate support of the team and player in question. Thank you for your contributions to NRL based articles, however you need to take a breath and step away from this one for a while.

Have a great weekend

Would you care to elaborate on how my version is clouded by passion. The first paragraph states the basic facts of the happening of the incident and the NRL warning letter. The second paragraph states what the "victim" thought of the the incident and the third paragraph states that Sims apologized. Nothing added in there.

Your version is talking about the opinions of a journalist and includes subjective phrases like 'international notoriety'.

I don't know about you but I think the opinions of the two people in question are far more credible than a person who had nothing to do with it. My version stated the bare facts and the opinion of the two in question, without putting a negative or positive tone on it, letting a reader make up their own mind, your version is trying to force the negative opinions of a journalist who had nothing to do with it onto the reader.

Yeah, knew they were playing a few days ago so wrote them up ahead of time. And pretty sure Lachlan isn't related to Craig. Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 06:21, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

What basis did you edit his high school football? Larakeyah (talk) 06:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

You need to add a source with it to back it up. Without a source, there is nothing distinguishing it from being fact or something someone made up. Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 07:09, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Hastings primary school name is now Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School at the time Hastings attended 1962 to 1966 it was known as Our Lady of Mount Carmel source www.ceosyd.catholic.edu.au Your confusion may come from earlier pictures of Hastings in his jumper having MC on the crest when he played in the South Sydney District Convent Schools Hasting attended CBHS St. Mary's Cathedral College 1967 to 1974. Source, he is noted in wikipedia's own site on the college in the section alumni.Noted also on the college's honour board where he is listed as Sportsman of the Year circa1971 the nickname Horrie may be attributed to o'reilly but it is a mishearing of his school friends calling him Harry linked to his father's name Howard Larakeyah (talk) 08:10, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
