Requesting third party resolution of Notre Dame Football

edit

Hello, Fuhreeus, I am requesting that you check my recent edits on famous games on the Notre Dame football wiki page. I had started a list of games I knew to be notable and important to Notre Dame and college football and thought I should include them. I also added a discussion of what games should be added to the talk page. Another editor, User:Tool2die4, started saying it lacked NPOV. He then added a 2001 Fiesta bowl game to the list on the article page without discussion to try to "even the list out" for the sake of NPOV. This was my worry before I even started the section, that people would start adding insignificant games, or try to stretch certain games to make them important, or try to add wins and losses as part of a "fanboy" reaction. Again, the list is meant to include games that are considered important by outside writers, to clear up NPOV. I amended the talk page to say that perhaps it should be just those games, to avoid people adding a huge litany of games. To that end, I included on the list only those games that were identified as "games of the century", #1 vs #2 matchups, or had otherwise been written about as historic games to the game of football, not just Notre Dame. So when I edited the list, I did it by removing not only the 2001 fiesta bowl link, but other bowl games and ND games that also did not meet the criteria. Tool2Die4 saw the edit and reverted it, labeling it as vandalism. Instead of asking for a clarification, Tool2die4 acted by reverting my edit, thus deleting all the sources I had just added. I reverted it back, arguing he was starting an edit war. He again reverted my edit with all the verifiable sources included back to the list that had none. I said I used "original research" trying to convey that I had gathered independently verifiable sources to justify what games were on the list. He is now trying to use the phrase against me to say I am violating wikipedia guidelines and that it is now his duty to keep an eye on the page, like he owns it. He has since offered a compromise keep the '01 Fiesta Bowl on the list and in return for letting me make an edit. I believe this is not in the spirit of wikipedia and that he thinks he owns the page. I also believe it doesn't belong on the list because I feel the the list should mention games that are talked about, considered important to football, and have articles and books written about them. Again, I took out all games not verifiable, not just the '01 fiesta bowl, when I edited the list. If he wants to add the game I feel he should find an article anywhere that calls it a game of importance like the other games have been written about, not as a bargaining chip. I have added a proposal at the bottom of the ND talk page that I believe is fair and balanced. I have not initiated the edit because I do not want to continue the edit war on the page. Thank you for your help.

Hello! You are listed as an active member of the College Football Project!

I've divided up the articles that need help and put them in a table on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Unreferenced BLPs. Please assist the project by researching and sourcing the articles that have been "assigned" (so to speak) to you.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
