Hello, I'm RA0808. I noticed that in this edit to Ralph Sampson III, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. RA0808 ^talk_contribs 15:59, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Ralph Lee Sampson III

Copied from User talk:RA0808 because I just noticed that I forgot to ping the editor, and that it can be useful as reference here. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:09, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

I am Ralph Sampson III.

I want my page deleted. All information on this page is not true. Please stop editing any information pertaining to me and do not add anything pertaining to me or my family. I don't appreciate you putting this information back up repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hplar741 (talk • contribs) 16:09, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

@Hplar741: Before I begin please note that, at the moment, I have no way of verifying that you are actually Sampson. That aside, Wikipedia is not censored and all of the material on the Ralph Lee Sampson III page is from publicly available sources. If you have concerns please be prepared to verify your identity to the Volunteer Response Team from an official email associated with your real identity. Continuing to remove content without discussion or simply using your claim to be Sampson as justification will be seen as disruptive and may result in a block. I am pinging User:Serols so they can comment on this as well. RA0808 ^talk_contribs 16:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Verifying my identity is will not be an issue. Please let me know how to proceed by verifying any information you may need, or who I can personally email/contact to have all information removed from the site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hplar741 (talk • contribs) 18:18, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Please have a look at the following link: Wikipedia:Contact_us_-_Subjects -- thanks! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:53, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

• User:ToBeFree, thank you. Hplar, these claims are very suspicious. Somehow all sources, including this one, are incorrect? Hmm. Please follow the link above and stop blanking the article, or you will be blocked. Drmies (talk) 03:12, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
  • To be fair, there was some minor negative editorializing about his college career, which I just tweaked. While the article can be improved, it's largely verifiable and neutral.—Bagumba (talk) 12:47, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
