Adding opinions to articles

Hi there Kobetmacyao- I've noticed that all of your contributions consist of adding large sections of your own personal opinions to basketball articles. There is another user, User:Tmacrockets0115 who makes edits that are identical to yours, and I'm going to assume good faith for the moment and take it that you are not the same people. If you are both the same editor, I'd suggest changing your editing style, or you will find both accounts blocked for sock-puppetry. So welcome aboard, but let me leave you with the following advice:

Do not add unsourced personal opinions to articles (see Wikipedia:Attribution)
Do not use multiple accounts to make edits that contravene Wikipedia policy (see Wikipedia:Sock puppetry)

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Regards, A Train^talk 20:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

Kobetmacyao, since you persist in making edits against policy and refuse to communicate, and because I believe that you are editing on both this account and on User:Tmacrockets0115, I am going to block you from editing. The duration of the block will be initially set for 30 days. If you leave a message on this talk page (the only page you will be able to edit) explaining your actions and demonstrating that you understand Wikipedia's policies regarding neutral point-of-view, attribution and sock-puppetry. then I will consider unblocking you. You were warned. A Train^talk 19:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 30 days in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for disruptive editing and sock-puppetry. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

My concern about your username

Hello, Kobemacyao, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. Busy Bee 02:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially, the point is that your username appears to match the name of a well-known person. If, of course, you are that person, then using your own name is beyond reproach. If you are not, could we discuss things as in the above message?Busy Bee 02:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
