reverting andy najar edit

you didn't even leave a reason why your undid my factually correct edit that has precedent on wikipedia. i would like to know your reasoning.

Antigua Barracuda FC players

I don't believe this, the Barracuda players have made appearances for the club and a lot of pages still had to be created. I've started a few pages but now I'm worn out, can you take care of a few others and also add some missing info that I can't find? – Michael (talk) 04:25, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Well I've created a couple more pages so we still have about 9 pages that need to be created. – Michael (talk) 04:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Josh Wolff

Hey there. Last week, 69.254.136.155 edited Josh Wolff to correct a mistake in the international goals table. You reverted this accurate edit on the grounds that it was unsourced. Unfortunately, your edit, also unsourced, reintroduced the mistake to Misplaced Pages. I found a source online, referenced it in the article, and corrected the error.

Your user page and history indicate that you contribute a great deal to Misplaced Pages, contributions that allow us mere browsers to enjoy a valuable source of information. On the other side, there are users like me, who occasionally make edits to articles when they identify errors. In doing so, they may not adhere to the conventions observed by more experienced editors, such as failing to provide a citation. Most of these edits are in good faith and make important contributions to Misplaced Pages (e.g., by correcting a hard-to-spot mistake). If the edit is not sourced to your satisfaction, and the material being changed is likewise not sourced, might I suggest attempting to verify the correct facts instead of blindly reverting the edit? This would improve the accuracy of Misplaced Pages while demonstrating more respect for the contributor.

RGV Ocelots FC Revision

This user is not an employee of the franchise, and as such, there is no conflict of interest. The information has been researched extensively as opposed to the information that you have previously posted. I would like to clarify that RGV Coyotes SC has more to do with the current Ocelots FC franchise than RGV Bravos does on many different levels.

History The details surrounding the formation of the team are an integral part of the franchise's creation. Those details include the state of soccer in the region at the time (the loss of the Pan Am men's soccer program at the time, etc.). It is a well documented fact (more sources to come) that the current owner of the Ocelots also owned the Coyotes. It is also a well documented fact that none of the teams from the region had players from across the region. It would be irresponsible to say that there was no soccer in the Valley and that no one could possibly have the brain power to attempt to achieve anything beyond local amateur soccer. The historical section sheds light on the fact that there was soccer life before the USL came to town--and that was attributed in part by the Coyotes' activities over the course of six years. The Bravos did the rest on their own four years later (There is nothing in the post that disputes that.)

1.) Only someone from the region would know the state of soccer in his home region to know what to research.

The history posted on the Official website has been quoted verbatim and substatiated and verified with the proper citations. This should have addressed any COI and bias issues. The research yielded the following information:

1.) The Coyotes were in fact, the first franchise to actively seek participation and even helped try to promote the then USISL in the Rio Grande Valley market in an effort to stimulate interest in a future franchise and interest in the League itself. NOTE: The climate of the day in the soccer community was that the only leagues that mattered were everywhere else but the United States. Imagine trying to sell an American brand (USISL/USL) to people that have grown up watching the Mexican First Division Soccer--especially on the Border? That climate remains today regardless of American league presence in the Valley. Valley soccer fans are finicky and discriminatory because they are used to seeing a high caliber of soccer.

2.) The Coyotes were owned and coached by current Ocelots FC owner Kru Kayan Sitsanthaparn. 3.) The Coyotes actually played against USISL/USL teams during their existence from 1998-2004. 4.) The Coyotes colors were orange, white, silver, and black.

All of the facts point to an evolution, and a lucky break in the form of a failing Bravos franchise, for the current owner to take the reins of the Bravos franchise, and jump back into the sport.

However, to state that the Ocelots were originally founded as the Bravos is a complete falsehood because of the following (make sure to read the Ocelots FC citations!):

1.) The USL would not allow the owner to keep team name, logos, franchise marks (see source). 2.) The fact that the owner purchased a franchise with the SPSL does not leave any room for the "same" franchise to legally continue on. Therefore, RGV Bravos FC "died." The Ocelots FC franchise was new as were the mascot and logo (see source). The owner, deciding to bring back the former project, adopted the former Coyotes colors in homage and as a reminder of the hard work done in the past (see source). All of the aforementioned is now privately owned as opposed to the Bravos name, etc. which was owned by the League. 3.) The current franchise did not continue in the same League and change names--although it was already being contemplated (see source). Had Ocelots FC continued in the PDL and made the change from Bravos to Ocelots, then it could safely be stated that the Ocelots were founded as the Bravos, but that isn't the case.

However, in terms of "facts" your lack of research on this subject matter leaves much to be desired. For example:

1.) Your previous information still listed Juan de Dios Garcia as the Head Coach of this team when it was announced in February that Juan Macias. 2.) You posted a questionable reason for the discontinuation of the franchise with the PDL by citing rgvfutbol.com as a credible source of information. The rgvfutbol.com website is owned and operated by Ed Chrnko Salas, a former employee of the Bravos franchise and former colleague of RGV Grandes FC owner, Ignacio Larraga. The mere fact that he would write such a negative story against his former team given the circumstances of his departure, constitutes a conflict of interest that would undoubtedly yield biased information.

FYI: Prior to his involvement with Bravos FC, Ed Chrnko Salas wrote the stories that are cited in the RGV Ocelots FC reference list when he was a journalist for La Frontera covering the RGV Coyotes SC.

3.) Who is your source that prompted you to state that Sitsanthaparn was an interim owner? My sources bring conflicting information.

All in all, the RGV Bravos FC should have its own page as a defunct franchise as the Ocelots are not a continuation. All of those matters have nothing to do with Ocelots FC. The only note that the RGV Bravos FC should have with regard to this topic is that it brought the owner back into the sport after he had left it behind in 2004 and/or that he personally congratulated the Bravos FC staff (source pending).

Again, this is not bias. These are facts that have been posted for people to learn about soccer in our region and the history of Ocelots FC. Please be sure to check your sources before posting. I have seen Laredo Heat's wikipedia page, and they dont have a SINGLE citation--while practically EVERY sentence in my posting is cited with a source to verify. It's irresponsible to say that I'm being biased when the statements are quoted straight from the Official Website and there are citations for all of them.

Thanks for your prompt response. Neither do I have a relationship with this team--although I do live in the Valley region. The Ocelots are getting some good results and gaining a decent following, so naturally, given the research that I've done, it should be known that the current franchise (like so many others across the country) has a rich history behind it that should be preserved for posterity.

Ocelots FC should be a separate page since it is a completely new entity. The Bravos page should be kept separately as RGV Bravos FC. If I'm not mistaken, it's already split into two, and I've left one of them alone. The best bet is to keep one page as it is and the newer page to remain as RGV Ocelots FC.

My apologies for any misunderstandings and thanks again for your cooperation Ocelots FC (talk) 05:13, 4 June 2011 (UTC).

Cosmos U-23

Sorry bru, I messed up here. Hope there's no hard feelings, I've now tidied it up and so on. You have to find sources for the players, though, because what you've got doesn't say anything about these guys playing for Cosmos U-23. – Cliftonian 07:21, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
