Calgary Stampede
Please read the following before editing again: NPOV. In addition, anything "controversial" should be accompanied with a reference. Otherwise it's blatant heresay. Maybe pretend you're writing a school paper (but without the BS). Honestly, people here care about the facts... not your opinions (or the opinions of critics for that matter). This is not a position paper, it's an encyclopedia. If you can't back up your claims with written evidence, then they do not belong in Wikipedia. This is official policy. --Arch26 05:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, maybe I wasn't clear enough above. This is a point-of-view statement: "only those that are directly attributable to the Stampede and that occur in front of the spectators, are listed as casualties; those figures are all too often played down or spoken of in passing when confronted by the media or other" . You can't say things like that without a good verifiable reference. You can read more about POV at NPOV. Also, from what I can tell, you either sourced no references, or you referenced incorrectly. Correct code for a website references is: . This will add a footnote as well. And please try to avoid removing all the Wikipedia formatting when you edit. Somebody else has to put it all back when you do. Thank-you. --Arch26 04:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Arch26 06:36, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
