New Orleans Jesters/Shockers
Can I ask why you keep deleting valid information from the NO Shockers history section? The pieces you keep deleting give detail into the seasons - scorers of important goals, notable games, context from previous seasons - and I can see absolutely no reason why this information isn't useful to readers. Care to elaborate? --JonBroxton (talk) 19:46, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I am in charge of all of the media relations and communications for the Jesters. We're updating the wikipedia page and deleting a lot of the unnecessary copy. Matthewbowes86 (talk) 20:30, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, in that case, you're in violation of WP:COI, and shouldn't be editing the Shockers page anyway. --JonBroxton (talk) 20:32, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean. If I am using a neutral view and just updating the page to include what happen in 2009 and this season, how am I in violation? The wiki page doesn't have any info from the Jesters making the playoffs last year or what happened this season. Could you make the additions then?


 * Yep, I can definitely add the info on the Jesters 2009 and 2010 seasons (it's actually on my to-do list, along with the other 66 PDL teams!!) - but you can too. The COI thing is basically to stop people from adding overly-positive info about an organization or person with which they have a close affiliation. If you can write new material in a neutral but journalistic tone, then I don't have a problem with it in the slightest, because having anyone contributing to the project is a positive thing. My only slight concern is with your editing of the narrative that's already there, removing game results and player names and so on, because IMHO that kind of info gives the paragraphs context and detail. However, if you want to edit for grammar, typos, wording, that sort of thing, then please go ahead! Anything that makes the project and the articles better is always welcomed! Cheers. --JonBroxton (talk) 20:58, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good, I'll add a few things on the 2009 and 2010 seasons and if you have any further info you'd like to include, please do. Thanks!!!Matthewbowes86 (talk) 21:19, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
