Please stop removing the template. Please read WP:VERIFY; according to the intro of that "In Wikipedia, verifiability means that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source." Is there any way that you can verify that "Bishops had one of their best sides in their history"? Your general "people in the know" doesn't make it verifiable, it sounds like you introduced bias. Please add a proper source that support your claims. Once you do that, you can remove that template. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 18:03, 1 April 2015 (UTC)


 * This is now getting silly. We can continue reverting each other's edits ad infinitum, or we can try and work together to find wording that suits both of us. However, please note that it should comply with Wikipedia policies, I would strongly encourage you to have a quick look at these. There are a few policies I'd like to highlight – firstly, articles should be written from a neutral point of view. For this reason, if you make statements such as "one of their best sides in their history", etc., it indicates a level of bias. If you can provide a reference of some kind that indicates that someone with a neutral point of view (eg. some website, newspaper or other media source not associated with Bishops College) thought that this was one of their best sides, or if you can provide statistics backing this up, i.e. proving that that had more victories in this season than others, I would have no qualms about such a claim. The text you recently added to the Nick Köster page reads "according to their rugby experts" – please have a look at WP:WEASEL; your text is exactly what that policy is trying to prevent. Wikipedia is based on verifiable facts. Can you try to reword that to incorporate facts, eg. something like "the side won XX matches during the season, winning their league by XX points, scored the highest number of points accumulated in the league" or something that is factual and verifiable. For the Mathew Turner article, I found a link that states that he scored 286 points during the season which included 28 tries. That is a verifiable fact and I added this fact and the corresponding reference which verifies this fact. I also added a reference indicating his number of appearances for Bristol; if you believe this to be incorrect, then by all means change it, but include a reference that supports your figures.
