Can I ask what your personal issue is with Mr. Douglas as your edits seem to reflect a strong personal bias against him. My interest is merely as a historian of the Pistons. Regards.Heathens87 (talk) 17:49, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Each fact posted was backed up with a reliable source. It was not a war but someone does not want the truth to be mentioned. It's not negative information and it is all factual the truth is not being told. This legend had so much more of his life that was colorful  black, white and some gray. I'd you could combine all the small excerpts that are scattered throughout articles and books you could get the picture of who and what this simple but complex person and all the contributions he made to the world.

 * Then how do you explain Special:Diff/1077564659 and Special:Diff/1077564416 and Special:Diff/1077564759 where the only thing that you did was remove all  elements, calling them "irrelevant"?  Clearly references are not irrelevant.  Or Special:Diff/1077564862 where you deened reflist irrelevant?  Or Special:Diff/1074944039 and Special:Diff/1077442244, where you definitely did not back up content with a reliable source?  Given that Special:Diff/1077556322 "facts added" directly contradicts Special:Diff/1077560943 "removed irrelevant information" where you took out the same thing that you put in, along with this misrepresentation of your edits, in summaries and here, just taking your editing privileges away entirely seems to be is the right course of action.  You appear to be messing about and a net detriment.  So I have done that.  See Project:Vandalism, Project:Disruptive editing, and Project:Biographies of living persons.

 * I have personally known  Mr. Leon "no middle name" Douglas for OVER 40 years and I would think that I know him much better than anyone involved with WIKI whatever, good, bad and indifferent! Some of the information that you have sourced is defininetly incorrect, based off a reporters' point of view. I was there!  I guess you are only interested in a one sided version of a very complex person; on and off the court. His life is not a seamless set of "outstanding" events that you seem to want to portray.  There is so much more to him than you have recorded. What about the other awards, suing J. Sallie while selling suits,  Kobe Bryants' god-father from playing with Jellybean while we were in Europe, movies he was in, selling  cars, playing in the band, being a substitute teacher, in Detroit MI and in St. Petersburg, FL.,  other jobs he's held, mother, father, 6 siblings with 2  of them being deceased, children. So what do you really know about him NOTHING I have books excerpts and MANY articles that go all the way back to his childhood approx age 6 and not only that most importantly and most accurately I have a lifetime of first hand experiences, memories and pictures of the true facts and they are not distorted! No need to edit anything. Carry on with your fake facts. Yosef-zorse (talk) 01:25, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for those insights. I'll see what can be found in the public record, add information if it's relevant to his public story, and cite appropriate sources if such information is available.  Regards. Heathens87 (talk) 15:20, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

It's ALL PUBLIC RECORD. DO YOUR RESEARCH POS Yosef-zorse (talk) 21:08, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I see you didn't report why he left the pistons, his relationship with Dick Vitale or any other pertinent facts. How they felt he wasn't going to improve and they were not going to continue to pay him throughout his contract being mediocre. Top 5 of the worst draft picks. It's ALL DOCUMENTED from reliable sources. You claim to be with the Pistons on the journalistic side but you just want to post what ever is beneficial to you. You're not concerned about the truth or the facts. Probably not his reputation but your own. People who know him know how and what he is. Who are you trying to impress? If you put a snake in a suit and tie or a basketball uniform and sneakers it's still a snake. Yosef-zorse (talk) 21:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Appreciate the insights. Regards. Heathens87 (talk) 22:25, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Thoughts
I'm sorry this happened as I do think you've some factual context to add to the biography. I'm merely interested in capturing the factual record of a former Pistons player and any "truth" to be brought is from a voice and source outside of my own and that evaluation has citation support and relevance to the public life of Mr. Douglas.
