Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view.

Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. Furthermore, editors should not delete text that is supported by substantiating footnotes without explanation, and in this case your replacement text is not consistent with the NPOV policy and is also inaccurate in its description of some of the facts as set forth in the cite reliable sources. Wikipedia pages are edited by consensus; if you believe that any of this article should be changed, you are welcome to raise the issues at the talk page for the article.--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:58, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Mike Leach (American football coach). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. As reflected on the talk page of the article, multiple editors disagree with your edits. You have been repeatedly asked to come to the discuss your concerns, but you have not done so. At this point, your continuing reversions are against consensus and may be considered to be disruptive.--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:41, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Pontificate823, I assume you represent Mike Leach in some capacity, official (attorney, agent) or unofficial (fan, family). Nevertheless, you cannot simply edit the article to remove sourced information just because it could be construed as negative. Please present your arguments on the article's talk page before making further edits. Thank you. →Wordbuilder (talk) 22:52, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
