Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Denver Outlaws, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 22:57, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

@DrmiesDrmies Do you know anything about the history of professional lacrosse? Do you know anything about the history of the MLL and PLL? The MLL was purchased by the PLL who was owned by Mike Rabil and Paul Rabil. Then when Paul Rabil and Mike Rabil (the owners of the PLL) assigned teams to host cities and they decided that a team would be placed in Denver they changed the Chrome Lacrosse Club into the one and only Denver Outlaws franchise(who they owned because they purchased the MLL). The MLL Denver Outlaws had previously been in Denver since '06 and had won 3 championships and had competed for the championship 10 times. Co-Founder Paul Rabil played in the MLL for the Boston Cannons and NY Lizards and competed against the Denver Outlaws many times. These are not two separate franchises they are one franchise with one set of history. The podcast I keep mentioning is Paul Rabil and Mike Rabil's podcast who are the owners of the PLL (which owns the MLL) and the Denver Outlaws (who have competed in the MLL and now are in the PLL). I asked this specific question because of you and/or SammySpartan deleting all the material and saying we were wrong as fans when we are correct. Two MLL franchises are now in the PLL and they are the Boston Cannons and Denver Outlaws. Go look at the Boston Cannons page and then look at the Outlaws page. They're the two most storied franchises in all or professional lacrosse and you wouldn't know the Outlaws are because you keep deleting our history. They are one team and one Wikipedia page. They are the same franchise with the same history and are marketed as such. The Denver Outlaws official twitter lists them as the 14, 16, & 18 champs yet you say it's not allowed to display this history. I just want my teams Wikipedia page to be correct because I'm one of the only people who actually know about them and their history. I am correct and I don't understand why you won't let the fans and the people who care about the team keep their own page accurate because you clearly don't know anything about the history of this franchise or professional lacrosse as a whole. So I'll ask you as nicely as I can for you to stop editing away our history because your some sort of Wiki librarian. GoRebs (talk) 23:30, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm a Wikipedia administrator and if I see you make huge disruptive edits that seem to shoehorn two things into one, and referring to some minute mark in a podcast rather than a simple published reference in a secondary source, the way we should be referencing things here, yes, I am going to step in. And when I see you say things like "I don't understand why you won't let the fans and the people who care about the team keep their own page"--it is not your page. This is an encyclopedia, not a webhosting service. And if you have a conflict of interest, as you seem to suggest, you should properly declare it, or you might be blocked. Drmies (talk) 01:03, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm just a fan who wants things to be correct. This issue isn't in writing it's only talked about on that podcast by the founders and owners of the league. Lacrosse is a niche sport and we don't have any articles covering this issue. I didn't shoehorn two things into one the Premier Lacrosse League did when they brought the Denver Outlaws back. I'm sorry for even trying to make this encyclopedia better and help fans understand. GoRebs (talk) 01:18, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

@Drmies a podcast that @GoRebs is referencing is a primary source that is more credible then secondary source. AFC Vixen is over take the page with her narrow not listen to the people in the talk. So i will like you to step I say this I don't understand why you won't let the fans and the people who care about the team keep their own page"--it is not your page Emoore2914 (talk) 04:10, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Emoore2914 this is not Wikia, this is not a website where the fans get to have their own page. You misunderstand the difference between primary and secondary sources, and the importance of secondary sourcing. I'm actually looking through your edits to see if you are a net positive: I have my doubts. And why did you put an ANI notice on Vixen's talk page? Drmies (talk) 13:44, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

We ask that you:

I don't work for the Premier Lacrosse League, the Denver Outlaws, or for any lacrosse anything. I'm just a fan who grew up in Denver who's been updating this page and want it to be correct. Sorry Wiki mod. GoRebs (talk) 01:20, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
