Hi, please keep WP:3RR in mind. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:57, 27 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello! It also states as an exemption "Removing contentious material that is libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced according to Wikipedia's biographies of living persons (BLP) policy. What counts as exempt under BLP can be controversial. Consider reporting to the BLP noticeboard instead of relying on this exemption" and they were adding unsourced material (the new team that has not been verified as of when I edited).

 * If all you had done was removing material, we could discuss this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:12, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? What else did I do apart from removing the material. MorningOfTheNight (talk) 20:15, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * You seem to have repeatedly re-added material ("Portland Trail Blazers") someone else had challenged in good faith, without a citation (and likely without any source) that justified assuming the material was still true at that time. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:18, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was Portland Trail Blazers, then people where changing it to Pheonix or something like that. I did not have to source/cite if it was already there, just reverting the new information. MorningOfTheNight (talk) 20:19, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, perhaps just remove it instead? At least if you're going to rely on an exception for doing so? :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:19, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes the article's team was uncited but not all unsourced information should be moved, a recent trade must have happened for people to change it but we shouldn't change it until there has been a reliable source covering the topic right? MorningOfTheNight (talk) 20:21, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * A reliable source would be needed for adding the new information, that's correct. When you see unsourced or poorly sourced information in a biography of a living person and would like to remove it while relying on the 3RR exemption cited above, you can change "is a basketball player for Team X." to "is a professional basketball player." There's nothing wrong with this. You could do so with an edit summary like " " or similar. Unsourced/challenged/possibly inaccurate infobox parameters can simply be removed.
 * That all said, I was mostly concerned about the edit warring, not the sourcing. It was you who brought the exemption up, I explained why it doesn't apply. That's all. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:28, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay thank you (: MorningOfTheNight (talk) 20:31, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * All that was done was revertation of the unsourced team. MorningOfTheNight (talk) 20:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
