Sean Sherk
I have warned you repeatedly about your edits on this (and other) pages. I will not warn you again. You continually add unsourced information and introduce deliberate factual errors (such as your completely baseless claim that Sherk is still the lightweight champion, despite being stripped of it in December). If you do it again, you're going to get blocked. Gromlakh (talk) 03:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Response to your email
FYI, I do not communicate via email about issues related to Wikipedia. To keep the conversation clear, I'll reproduce it here and then respond.

Subject: Wikipedia e-mail From: Ss motorist  To: Gromlakh  Date: 03/11/2008 12:14 AM > Where the hell do you get off saying that sherk is a boxer? And why would you not add the information about him recieving his Bjj blackbelt under pedro Sauer? I train with Sean weekly dude, how can you post false shit, when i know this info for a fact? i would just like to know.

Several things here to address:
 * First, your email is highly uncivil. Please be more respectful when dealing with other editors.
 * I never said Sherk is a boxer. Boxing has been listed as one of his fight styles for a long time, probably because he almost never throws kicks in his fights. Quite frankly, I didn't even notice that you'd changed that. Personally, I don't care either way. There are at least interviews cited where him where he mentions training in muay thai at various points (and I'm sure he does now). There's a whole other discussion about whether that actually belongs as a "fighting style" for him since it's not what he's known for, but that's more appropriately brought up at WT:MMA since it's pervasive across all MMA-related articles.
 * I removed the information about his BJJ black belt because you did not provide a source for it. Source it and it can stay in the article.
 * "I train with Sean weekly dude" is not sourcing. The standard for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. You are not a reliable source, because: a.) nobody knows who you are, and b.) if you are who you say you are, you may have a conflict of interest and shouldn't be editing his article anyway. Find a reliable third-party source (like Sherdog, MMA Weekly, Wrestling Observer, Gracie Mag, Five Ounces of Pain, etc.) where the claims you make are supported, provide citations, and you'll be improving the article. Resorting to name calling and engaging in edit warring will only get you blocked. Gromlakh (talk) 03:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
