Hi SeanRVA! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at L39ION of Los Angeles that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hello, I'm WikiDan61. I wanted to let you know that some of your recent contributions to L39ION of Los Angeles have been reverted or removed because they seem to be defamatory or libellous. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''The cited sources do not "accuse" Williams of anything; they simply report facts about his career. It appears that you are the one accusing him of things, without proper sources.'' WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:40, 1 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey there! Do you have any specifics to mention? I know that one of L39ION's old members is trying to keep the page clear of the controversies but I've given proper citations for all the information. If you have any specifics, I can find line-by-line where the information can be found in the cited material. SeanRVA (talk) 11:45, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure. Examples:
 * L39ION has been known for "sandbagging" (traveling to easier races that are meant for amateur riders).
 * You haven't provided a source for this accusation.
 * While not designated a UCI professional cycling team, Justin Williams has used his social media presence to accrue a long list of sponsors and pay its riders to race in amateur events.
 * There does not appear to be anything controversial about this; riders garner sponsorships all the time, it's part of the sport.
 * Justin Williams was accused of sandbagging again after changing his UCI national affiliation to Belize and competing in the Belize National Road Championship days later
 * The cited source does report that Williams is riding for Belize, but makes no mention of sandbagging; it simply reports that he is now riding for Belize based on his father's birth in that country. (Many countries have citizenship rules that extend citizenship to children of citizens, whether or not they were born in the country.)
 * So, in summary, the cited sources do not make accusations of sandbagging or controversy. That's all on you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:39, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
