editHello, I'm Hey man im josh. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Alaric Jackson, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

- Just look at his pro Day weight on the very same page. His weight cannot be 285 and also 321 at his Pro Day. The height, weight and times for his pro day were ALREADY sourced
- on the very same Pro Day. Just read it next time. Use some logic next time and I don't need referencing for beginners, have authored scores of articles a few with good article status under my official name, which I hadn't logged into. In this case, the sourcing was right there for anyone to read. Also, no tackle is 285 in the NFL. So even though the Rams site has 285 in this case, which sometimes happens, it is wrong and you have to use logic. I guy cannot weigh 285 in the Fall if he weight 321 at his pro day. https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2021/05/04/rams-alaric-jackson-nfl-draft-undrafted-rookie/ https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/alaric-jackson he actially claims to weigh 330 https://twitter.com/Bigaj77/status/1581867192085143555?s=20 sometimes actual sources are better than "reliable" sources if the reliable sources are asleep at the wheel69.130.165.18 (talk) 18:03, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Mike Giddings, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 22:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- I gave a source https://talkoffametwo.com/nfl/mike-giddings-an-nfl-pioneer-passes-away
- Enough with you ego....you're wrong. Sports Illustrated's Talk of Fame is a reliable source. Stop the edit war--- https://talkoffametwo.com/nfl/mike-giddings-an-nfl-pioneer-passes-away

To the IP editor who been editing the Mike Giddings article, thanks for providing the link to the Talk of Fame Two article that mentions Gidding's recent death. That aside, your behavior here has not been productive. When I noticed your edits from July 28 and July 31 on July 31, it seemed entirely plausible to me that the 89-year-old Gidding had, in fact, recently died. But I couldn't find anything online confirming this. I also contacted a friend mine who happens to be a Utah football and basketball beat reporter for the The Salt Lake Tribune, and he had heard nothing about Gidding's death. Your edits were also sloppy and indicative of someone who doesn't really know the basics of how Wikipedia works as they lacked any sourcing and left the opening verbiage of the article in the present tense as if Gidding was still alive. So, I rolled back your edits and did some other clean-up before waiting for a confirmation of Gidding's death to crop up. The source you ultimately provided was not published until the next day, August 1. Lesson here: dude, relax and try to cooperate with people before calling everyone a control freak or a Nazi.

- No, I am sick of territorial people like you who think they own articles. I provided the link and you ignored it. And rather than follow the link you just reverted it and used your editor powers to prevent me from reverting..had to do it manually.
- I have dealt with you before...and you always behavethe same, so don;t act all innocent. And I you didn't like the spolliness then FIX it instead of being a judmental a-hole like you always all, actuing superior and holier than thou. "Oh I contacted an editorial friend" ... yeah, and see where that got you. You just think you know everythign and you weild you w=power like a sword. So no, I don't respect you because iof this and other encounters iI hav had with you specificially and others.
- So, I stand by my comments and YOU relax. There was other confimation and other sources but since it was a blog I didn't use it. here is a tip for life, assume good faith. If you and your control freak editors do that and not lecture everyone else how "things work" people wouldn't get so mad at your tactics.
- And why would anyone pick some random person to say they are dead. Use your brain 69.130.165.18 (talk) 17:40, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- If you look at the chronology, I only reverted you before you provided the talkoffametwo.com link. It was another editor, The Herald, toward whom you were also hostile, who reverted you afterward, not me. As I explained before, I did not assume any bad faith with the noting of Gidding's death. I thought it was likely that Giddings had indeed died even though I have seen false reports of deaths here before. It was just completely unverified. The bad faith is all yours here. I don't who you are or what our past interactions were—feel free to identify yourself and describe them. More importantly, you first reported Gidding's death on July 28, three days before John Turney's article, published on August 1. How did you find out Giddings had died? Turney's article also doesn't note Gidding's exact date of death (just that it was "last week"), nor his place of death, nor his date and place or birth. Where did you get those from?
