editHello, I'm Cordless Larry. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Paul Coleman (sailor), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Edit request
editWhen Coleman was 18, he entered Olympic Class sailing competitions in the Soling Class, and competed in Olympic trials in 1976. In college, Coleman sailed for the State University of New York Maritime College, and is one of the few to earn All-American honorable mention in two distinct sports; sailing, and swimming.
Since then, Coleman has competed in many world class events such as the J/24, Soling and Etchells classes.[1] Coleman is a North American Champion who narrowly missed qualifying for the Olympics.
Coming back in 1983 with his brother Peter Coleman, they competed in the United States Sailing North American Championship at the Mallory Cup[2] winning the gold medal.
Teaming up with brother Gerard Coleman in 1992, (Team Coleman) won the Gold Medal in the Olympic Soling class US National Championship, and the Silver Medal for the United States in the 1994 Olympic Soling class at the North American Championship, and were asked to join the US Sailing Team to represent the United States in the 1995 Pre-Olympic Regatta in Savanah Georgia.

Why is Hans Fogh's North American Medals accepted by Wikipedia and my medals are rejected? Please note, we both have the same source references. If you accept his, you need to accept mine. Please advise at your earliest convenience.
Yours truly,
Paul
COI edit request tags
editThe information you wish to place in the article must be accompanied by references for the information. That information ought to be in the here and now. You've indicated that you have this information. Myself and other editors have explained to you how to send that information to Wikipedia. It is unknown if you have followed this advice. In lieu of this, you have taken to continually re-add COI templates which have been reviewed, despite having no substantive reference information to add to the article. These actions are disruptive in nature, and I would like to ask you to please stop what you're doing. Editors are willing to work with you to a point. That point requires you to understand and meaningfully acknowledge the information we are bringing to you. To do otherwise is to disrupt the site, and I ask that you not do this anymore. If you have any questions regarding this behavioral request, please feel free to ask them here. Thank you for your attention. Spintendo 23:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
